Prince Is Now Using Twitter, And He’s Adorably Bad At It
Also, he puts way too much pepper on his salads.
With classic song titles like ‘I Would Die 4 U’, ‘When 2 R In Love’, ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ and ‘Jack U Off’ (those are just the romantic ones I can find on my iPod), Prince was pretty much made for the modern world. And YouTube, too:
Unfortunately, as he’s revealed time and time again, Prince is also a well-known hater of technology. Earlier this year, he did that great interview with V Magazine where he exhibited a weird skepticism towards mobile phones (excerpt: “I ask how tech-averse he really is; does he have an iPhone? ‘Are you serious?’ he says. ‘Hell, no.’ He mimics a high-voiced woman. ‘Where is my phone? Can you call my phone? Oh, I can’t find it.'”) or that interview from The Daily Mirror a few years back where he compared “computers and gadgets” to MTV and said “the internet’s completely over”.
Well, I guess he changed his mind? Because as of today, Prince is on Twitter at @3rdeyegirl (the name of his new band)… and he’s pretty bad at it.

1. Prince’s first tweet
Lols, remember those days? “Ah, I don’t know how this works, I’m so nervous! Testing, testing…” (Mine was only a couple of weeks ago.)

2. Prince’s second tweet
These tweets are very literal.

3. Prince’s third tweet (and first foodstagram!)
Gah, yes you did, Prince.

4. Jesus Christ, thank God he stopped counting his tweets.
He already understands memes! I hope he does something with this next:

5. The selfie
Unless he magically transforms into smoke vapours every evening, I don’t think Prince understands what a selfie is.
