We speculate that the majority of loud "ADD PRINCE! RETWEET! I NEED MY FANS SUPPORT" updates coming from @PRINCE_OFFICIAL are the work of a marketing minion. The demanding tweets are peppered in with normal, lowercase, more Prince-like musings such as "I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store, music itself is not going to let you down." and "All the sounds of the earth are like music."
Hopefully after he has enough followers (could Prince ever have enough followers?) The yelling will stop and we'll get to enjoy some interesting insight into the purple one's daily life.
UPDATE: Peeps are speculating that this acct may be a fake! 1. He's not "verified" and 2. it links to a fan site, not to his real site (a subscription site). Hassertime notes in our comments section that it sometimes takes awhile for them to get verified, but we're kind of skeptz anyway!
UPDATE 2: Gimme Noise reports that the @PRINCE_OFFICIAL is indeed a fake...and probably run from a basement by someone named "Barry."
We still love this picture from the LoveSexy album cover, btw
I don't think it's real! Celebs usually have that little blue checkmark that says "Verified Account" in the upper right corner of their profile if the account is legit.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...Good point! That's true. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it gets shut down or if it gets verified.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it takes a while for them to get verified.
ReplyDeleteBut... I don't know why his website is listed as the prince. org (online fan community) instead of mplsound or whatever his crazy subscription site was called.
That's what we were JUST thinking!
ReplyDeleteI think twitter usually verify account to distinguish between imposters. Prince really doesn't have any fake accounts.
