There's never been any doubt that Prince's famously idiosyncratic written stylings would make for a fantastic Twitter presence—in fact, there's already a very popular parody account—but, until now, we haven't been graced with words of wisdom from The Artist himself.

However, it appears someone else has been doing social media for the account—until now. Tonight, Prince appeared to break his online silence, announcing his own first tweet:
