Dionne Warwick had some fun on Twitter this past weekend.
The singer had some questions about the names of Chance the Rapper and singer The Weeknd and posed them on Twitter -- much to their delight.
She began with Chance the Rapper.

The Weeknd's Super Bowl performance is already sparking some amazing memes and lots of chatter online. Twitter: @brianbonafitz. Cam jade south @cammsouth. The Weeknd Drops A Reissue Of 'House Of Balloons' And Twitter Is Going Crazy. The mixtape was widely loved 10 years ago for its varied music from artists like Beach House, Cocteau Twins, Aaliyah, and Siouxsie and The Banshees.
'Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name?' Warwick wrote. 'I cannot stop thinking about this.'
Now we can't stop thinking about it either.

The rapper appeared to be thrilled that the soon-to-be 80-year-old legend even knew who he was.
'Sorry I'm still freaking out that u know who I am,' he tweeted. 'This is amazing!'
Warwick responded, 'Of course I know you. You're THE rapper. Let's rap together. I'll message you.'
'I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms Warwick,' Chance the Rapper tweeted. 'God bless you.'
But there was still more to come.
The rapper responded with three mind-blown emojis after Warwick tweeted this: 'Holy' by Justin the Bieber @justinbieber and @chancetherapper is one of my favorite songs right now.'
The Weekend's Face
Warwick still wasn't done, however, switching to a question for The Weeknd.
'The Weeknd is next. Why? It's not even spelled correctly? @theweeknd,' she tweeted.
She followed that with, 'If you have 'The' in your name i'm coming for you. I need answers today.'
The Weeknd loved it.
'I just got roasted by Dionne Warwick and I feel honored!' he tweeted. 'You just made my day.'
Warwick said she was just having a laugh.
'It's all in good fun. Of course I am just kidding,' she tweeted. 'Those talented young men were good sports & very respectful! Enjoy your Sunday. Stay kind.'

The red-suited singer sported black gloves and made no mention of the apparel as he dedicated the first award to the late Prince. He was still wearing the bandages during his live renditions of hit songs 'In Your Eyes' (with Kenny G) and 'Save Your Tears.'
There was still no comment midway through the show, when the singer accepted the award for favorite soul/R&B song and then favorite male artist.
But don't fret, this is part of a continuing visual theme for The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye.
During the VMAs in August, he sported a bloody face injury when accepting his awards, part of his 'After Hours' album aesthetic. The Weeknd showed face injuries in the video for the single 'Blinding Lights,' and he also wore a bandage with dried-blood makeup for his March 'SNL' performance.

In his music video for 'Too Late,' dropped last month, The Weeknd's decapitated head was found by two deranged superfans who had recently undergone a surgical procedure that required the full head bandages. The look appeared very similar to The Weeknd's AMA gear.
