Prince Deletes His Twitter, Facebook; Removes Videos from YouTube

While social media may be a helpful platform for artists to promote themselves to online followers, not all artists cosign or have a stable relationship with this convenient and accessible technology. Despite recently dropping two albums, legendary singer-songwriter Prince is one of these individuals; today he took down his @3rdEyeGirl Twitter account and Facebook page, as well as a few of his more recent videos from his YouTube account. This incident was foreshadowed by several recent social media-related downturns — false claims, broken promises, and even claims that the account is fraudulent. We will be looking out for more updates on the reasons behind this oddity.
