He humbly followed up in his next tweet, saying, “I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms. Warwick. God bless you.”
The GRAMMY-award- winning singer then tweeted a message to The Weeknd noting that his name is “not even spelled correctly.”
“If you have ‘the’ in your name I’m coming for you. I need answers today.” She then proudly proclaimed, “I am now Dionne the Singer.”
