Dionne Warwick’s tweets are the gift nobody expected from 2020
Filed under ‘Things 2020 managed to get right’, we find the Twitter account of Dionne Warwick, singer, legend and now social media Goddess.
She recently posted this tweet about something that was bugging her.
Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.

If it surprised the rest of us, imagine what went through Chance The Rapper‘s head.
Sorry I’m still freaking out that u know who I am. This is amazing!
— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) December 5, 2020
Her response won’t have done much to stop him freaking out.
Of course I know you. You’re THE rapper. Let’s rap together. I’ll message you. 🤷🏽♀️ https://t.co/7ku9SMNUMB

And he said the only reasonable thing when addressed by such a legend of the music industry.
I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms Warwick. God bless you 💙💙
— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) December 5, 2020
This little joke made it even better.
I am now Dionne the Singer.
— Dionne Warwick (@_DionneWarwick) December 5, 2020
She wasn’t finished. Chance the Rapper wasn’t her only target.
The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly? @theweeknd

Damon Elliott, singer, producer and – most importantly here, Dionne’s son, tried to step in.
Mom that’s it! As soon as this quarantine is over I’m taking your iphone away from you.. time to go back to a flip phone 🤦🏽♂️

And got short shrift.
Good luck getting into MY house without a working key. https://t.co/Q8mCVbMs73

As did this other chap who thought she was overstepping her boundaries.

Perfect gif.
By far the majority of people loved Ms Warwick’s takeover of her own account, which is often run by a team.

I'm changing my name to "Vlad the Interviewer"
— DJ Vlad – VladTV.com (@djvlad) December 6, 2020
Some people were sceptical, however, that the almost 80-year-old was writing the posts herself.
People really think that’s actually Dionne Warwick tweeting. It’s her niece. LOL
— Nessa Girl (@Jonteezy23) December 6, 2020
Oh yeah. I’m basically convinced now that the person tweeting is most definitely NOT Ms. Dionne ain’t no way. Lmao
— Deah Berry Mitchell (@whatdedesays) December 6, 2020
I do not buy for one minute that Dionne Warwick herself is tweeting these things.
— Jordan (@jdever12) December 6, 2020
They need to watch this.
Came here to find foolishness in my replies. I am rushing to into an interview and this is the last time I’m saying this. Thanks. pic.twitter.com/En49BaoGRK
