It's a fake.

What do you mean what's up with it?

It's a twitter page.

It's not Prince.

Dont' know what else to say about it really.

Oh yeah, your question is in danger of becoming one of the 'here we go again' topics along with hips, ribs, gay and hairdo.

How is this shit STILL going on??? I have a feeling there are a small set of trolls who start up this sort of shit when an older thread closes or people lose interest in it, just to That's exactly what is going on here. The previous thread about this was pages long. WTF? Prince is tweeting? really? REALLY, people?! Don't fool yourself. It's not even a verified account, and why would he name is "Prince-Live" or whatever? It's a dumb idea, and it's a manic fool who runs it, pretending to be Prince.

It is Prince.

whats weird is the tweets seem to be responses or confirmations to whatever news is happening on the org. the hot summer tweets were posted only moments after it aired on the current. and now the "UK..Soon" tweet happens shortly after a thread is started here about the X-Factor.

its like whoever it is, is watching the org, then tweeting about whatever crops up.

It is Prince.

Nonsense. Prove to me it's Prince, and I'll give you $100 out of my own pocket. Guaranteed. We know it's not Prince, so let's not .

It's not Prince, but I'm at least willing to entertain the idea of it being someone working for him.

We'll see.

Listen kiddo, I'm not a dick. I call out bullshit when I see it. No one said anything against you. If you've been here any amount of time, you'll know your "yea, tell him" buddy there is a total troll and will say the exact opposite of what anyone says, just to be that kind of guy. It's sad really, but you don't have to be that guy along with him.

THINK.

The Twitter is NOT Prince. Nothing about it is indicative of Prince. In fact, while you're attempting to rake me over the coals for calling out the truth, you better get on RobinHood, Miliant, and the others who have also said it's not Prince either. Oh wait...it's just me, right? Only I'm the dick, right? Yeah, your foxhole bonding is tired, and reeks of a person with the license to still carry his lunch to school in a tin metal box. You can be a better person. Or you can just be a total drone. Up to you.

THINK.

Nothing about that Twitter page is Prince. Not the way it speak. Do you REALLY think Prince is going to ask folks to "hit me up" to suggest ideas for a concert? REALLY?!?!?! What the fuck are people smoking to believe THAT is something Prince would EVER do? Think about it before you get on my ass, or someone else's, for the sake of pouncing instead of believing the truth. Prince has never had a Twitter, and never will. He's always communicated through his website, or interviews, or a press release.

THINK.

Robinhood was correct. Whoever is doing it is responding to stuff on prince.org. Prince doesn't read this site. He hates it. He isn't going to post OLD news about HIMSELF.

THINK.

Didn't the orger Gav, who ran Housequake, post recently that he'd spoken to somebody in Prince's camp who told him this Twitter is NOT actually Prince? (which was obvious to me from the very start...still am amazed anyone can read those tweets and think otherwise)

Yep, and I trust Gav's word.

So do I.

it seems that way yeah, but i didnt state it as a fact. i said it seemed that way.

at any rate, even talking to someone in his camp isnt proof enough for me. prince might do a lot of things his staff dont know about.

Maybe on a different level, but the Twitter thing is just some rabid fan LOVING the attention that people on the Org and elsewhere (like dumbass ?uestlove saying "it's him!") believing it's really Prince. Prince doesn't have a Facebook page or Myspace either, why the hell would he delve into something so menial as Twitter? You were solid in your observation. Prince would not be responding to 'news' on prince.org.

The fan is even late on talking about going to the UK. 9:29 a.m. and they finally put up something about "Hot Summer" despite the fact that it debut WAY before that?

i dont know what he would or wouldn't do. he could be high on painkillers for all we know, slugglishly refreshing the org page thinking 'shit thats right i'm goin to the UK, better tweet that'.

or it might be, as you say, a faker. or it might be what databank said, about multiverses and how prince exists in many. so it could be prince in a parallel dimension.

the possibilities are endless when we dont know anything for a fact.

Honestly I think it is Prince, or at best somebody close to him

Pretty sure Gav was talking about the previous twitter account (Prince_Official), which was clearly a fake, and not this new one (Prince_Live), which is probably still a fake but at least looks slightly more believable than the last one.

Well, he posted on June 1st to the thread damn started specifically about prince_live, so.....

My bad. In that case, I retract my previous statement.

Someone (not me) should set up a rival fake one just to show how easy it is.

'EYE AM HERE WHERE R U ENGLAND?'

'@prince_live U WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE THE DAWN'

'@prince_live NO MORE CANDY 4 U'

'TIME WILL TELL'

'JUNE 15TH...... WATCH'

'SPIRITUALITY 4 ALL 2GETHER'

'@prince_live C U IN COURT'

etc.
