This must be a Hack? Surely?

I don't think a hack would be releasing unseen live videos and new music Sad he deleted the RIP tweets, though, they were fun.

funny wen tons of fans came out then please him to r.i.p them, too..lol i just couldnt stop laugh

Miffed I missed his twitter debut.

LOVING Groovy potential..

Curious what y'all are talking about with the whole "RIP" tweet thing...info for those of us who missed it?

He was doing this very playfully to several people tweeting him. I didn't save any but it was cute. Tells me he spends an awful lot more time on the Internet than he would have anyone believe, or has a very clued in social media expert hanging around.

one of prince fan tweeted like: if only prince could tweet me, i could die happily

prince tweeted: r.i.p, there (then deleted it quick)

then this happened ↓

Can't believe I missed this. Hope he does this sort of thing more regularly.

Why is everyone assuming it was really Prince?

There have been numerous imposters, including the famous "TeddyBlackFace" here on the Org.

Twitter confirmed it was him. The account was verified in the middle of the stream.

"Prince's tweeting spree was confirmed by Twitter's Tatiana Grace." - Biilboard

Isn't it? Think he dictates his tweets to one of the hobbitches?

A new Tweet just now. Do we have a Twitter junkie on our hands? Wonder if someone wasn't happy with the V magazine piece.

PRINCE 3RDEYEGIRL ‏@3rdeyegirl 2m

true or false?: http://www.vmagazine.com/site/content/1262/everlasting-now …

All Things D has him on their front page and a video of 83 dmrc linked from Daily Motion lol

Maybe this Twitter thing has some legs to it, after all.

Prince, the musician who was huge in the ’80s and is now best-known for fighting YouTube, has officially taken to Twitter, using the @3rdeyegirl handle. Twitter has verified the account, and Twitter’s @Twittermusic account has double-blessed it, so that’s about as rock-solid as things get in a world where everyone knows you’re a dog. (Meaning: Who knows, really.)

Anyway, Prince is doing what all early Twitter users do — he’s posting photos of himself, and what he eats. There are 36,000 people watching this right now, but let’s assume that number goes up a bit shortly.

Omg....I remember that Teddyblackface imposter on the Org. He had several alters but got caught each time. He was one scary dude.

Prince is tweeting? Aww hell naw

'Jehovah’s sexiest witness' Hahaha

Poor man, he seems so lost.

Best comment on dlisted: I might murder a basket of kittens for Prince.

I have a feeling Prince's twitter excursion is not going to end well
