In the accompanying video, the radiant 79-year-old starts with the greeting, “Well, hello!” and then goes on to explain, “This is for all of you tweeters who have decided that I’m not tweeting my own stuff to you.”
“I want you to know I am, and I’m getting very, very, very good at it,” she continues. “You see, I have a wonderful niece, her name is Brittany. And she said, ‘Aunt Dionne, you’ll have a lot of fun if you get on this with me.’ I said, ‘Okay. Teach me how to do it.’ And she did, and I am doing it.”
“So, that should quell all of you naysayers,” she concludes. “And if it doesn’t, deal with it.”

“Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name?” the 79-year-old singer asked. “I cannot stop thinking about this.”
The 27-year-old Chicago native responds, “Sorry I’m still freaking out that u know who I am. This is amazing.”
He humbly followed up in his next tweet, saying, “I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms. Warwick. God bless you.”
