Dionne Warwick joined Twitter, which is now called X, after her nieces introduced her to the platform
Her playful post to Chance the Rapper sparked a friendship and led to their 2021 collaboration "Nothing's Impossible"
"Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name?" she wrote in 2020
Dionne Warwick is a Twitter expert.
The legendary singer, 85, appeared on the latest episode ofELLE's Three Generations series alongside Teyana Taylor and Jai'Len Josey on Thursday, June 18 and revealed how she got into Twitter, which is now called X.
"My niece was in my living rom laughing and giggling and carrying on. Their little fingers were just carrying on on their phones and I wanted to know what they were laughing about," Warwick explained.
"They showed me what they were laughing about and I said, 'You think this is funny?' And it was not very nice. So I said, 'Show me how to do this,'" she continued. "And I went on, thinking it was called Twatter."

The "Walk on By" singer said that her nieces then corrected her and told her it was "Twitter."
"I went on Twitter and let all the babies know, there's a grown up in your mist now," she said, adding of Chance the Rapper, "I decided to do the first one and wanted to know why he had to put that he was a rapper. We all knew he was a rapper."
Chance the Rapper, 33, was shocked that Warwick knew who he was. She told him she knew "what he did" — which is why she wondered why he had to put it in his name.
"One thing led to another. As a matter of fact, we ended up recording together," she recounted. "He's a wonderful friend. But that's how I got involved with Twatter."

Warwick shared the post dedicated to Chance the Rapper in December 2020.
"Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name?" Warwick asked. "I cannot stop thinking about this."
"I am now Dionne the Singer," she wrote, before adding that Chance the Rapper's single with Justin Bieber, "Holy," is "one of my favorite songs right now."

In response, Chance the Rapper wrote that he was "freaking out" that she knew who he was.
"I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms Warwick. God bless you," he wrote.
Warwick then suggested that they "rap together" and she said she would "message him." The exchange led to their 2021 collaboration "Nothing's Impossible."
After her first set of posts on X, Warwick's son Damon Elliot joked that he would take her smartphone away.
"Mom that's it! As soon as this quarantine is over I'm taking your iphone away from you.. time to go back to a flip phone," he wrote on X, to which his mother hilariously replied, "Good luck getting into MY house without a working key."
