Prince gets funky on TwitterSome stars should probably stay far, far away from Twitter, but Prince is an exception. The man who just three years ago proclaimed the Internet dead has begun to test out the Twittersphere, even sharing a selfie in the process.
"PRINCE'S 1ST TWEET... TESTING 1, 2...," the Purple One posted to the verified 3rdeyegirl account on Tuesday night. By his third tweet, he was getting the hang of adding photos: So then we got this: But the best part by far - and the three reasons why we think he's now a must-follow - were these interactions with his followers: It was so amazing, it even left fellow musician Janelle Monae flabbergasted: Welcome to Twitter, Prince. We're glad you were wrong about the Internet being "completely over," because we so wouldn't have wanted to miss this. |

I heard he enjoys stuffing his face with poopsicles and poop tarts.
Prince is an icon. When I received my first "jam box" in elementary my dad gave me a Prince tape ... so amazing that I recognized his greatness in 3rd grade. Lastly, BEST SUPERBOWL HALF TIME SHOW that I personally have ever seen!
Prince rocks, and my guess he doing pretty well compare to all these hater talking crap. Rock on
agreed

And Rob is what, exactly? A guitar historian? Knowledgeable about something?
No, really, Rob...who the h3!! are you that you think your ridiculouts opinion about Prince has any relevance whatsoever?
You've never seem him in concert...he is one of the greatest electric guitar players in history....please...stop insulting musicians you know nothing about.
Prince is the man, so all you kids can just take your marbles and go home now.
I wish he would put out a full Rock/metal album...because this guy can play...

Rocker, I totally agree. Rolling Stone rated him 33 out of 100 of the greatest guitarists. Prince is an underrated guitarist by the general public. Have you heard him perform "American Woman"? Or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
Prince is an amazing guitar player. No doubt about it. He can do it all.
I like his old music better than his new stuff. My favorite song is "Disco Duck."

Get off of Twitter, Prince, dont you know Jehovah's WItnesses aren't supposed to be on Social Media? What if the elders find out? Do you just 'contribute' more to keep them from disfellowshipping your sorry, cultist ass?
haha REALLY!!?!?! I know plenty of JWs that have social media, plus "contribute" Elders have no idea who gives what, no collection plate is passed. TROLL CULT!?!?
Prince is a JW? NOooooo!!! thanks for destroying an icon in my mind, Daniel!!!
