Dionne Warwick is still incredibly active not just in her professional career but also on social media, often being hailed as the ‘Queen of Twitter’ given how active she is on the platform. In a recent interview she did with her son, Damon Elliott, he asked her a few questions about her social media presence.

The singer replied “the first one” referring to her tweet directed at Chance the Rapper that sent everyone on Twitter into a frenzy.

In a tweet in December 2020, the 82-year-old Warwick wrote, “Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.” Just minutes later, she directed a tweet at The Weeknd writing, “The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly? @theweeknd.”

“Mom, I got woken up at four in the morning,” her son said to Warwick. Adding, “Marcus calls me and says, ‘Man, what’s going on with your mom?’ And firstly I think, ‘What did my mom do? What’s going on?’ He’s mad: ‘Check Twitter.’ And I’m like, ‘Twitter? I haven’t used this app in years.’ So I had to redownload Twitter and the tweet to Chance the Rapper.”

“We all know you say what you feel, and I’m glad it went the way it did,” her son added.
