Well, when a legendary, iconic, world-renown soon-to-be 80-year old songstress makes a point of asking a popular millennial rapper about his stage name, that popular millennial rapper promptly fires back in utter shock. That’s what happened when long time balladeer extraordinaire Dione Warwick wanted to know why Chance the Rapper uses “rapper” in his name.
Her tweet on Saturday night has since gone viral:

It’s what Ms. Warwick said next that has everyone talking. She tweeted, ”
She wasn’t done though, oh no, Ms. Warwick targeted The Weeknd in another tweet, writing, “Why? It’s not even spelled correctly?”
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye acknowledged the tweet with the respect to the legend.
