Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Monday morning that he will be working and sleeping at the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco “until the org is fixed,” after saying he spent the previous night there. Musk made the tweet as part of a Twitter thread started by Eric Frohnhoefer, a Twitter employee that’s been at the company for around six years, after he accused Musk of providing incorrect information on why the Twitter app has been, in the Twitter CEO’s words, “super slow” in many countries. Musk’s decision to sleep at the office comes as Twitter staff last Thursday were told that he…

AMG Beyond Control's rapper, Medikal, has been controlled on Twitter for what can be described as his stubbornness. The 'Stubborn Academy' rapper jumped on Nana Addo's 'sika mp3 dede' viral comment to drop a rap freestyle. After releasing the song, Medikal who brags about being a rich artiste, took to Twitter to make noise about the song. Unfortunately, that has landed him trouble as his verified Twitter account has been suspended on the blue bird app. Medikal has been suspended from using the social media platform because he impersonated Ghana's sitting president, H.E William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, whom Yvonne Nelson has…

Billionaire Elon Musk's social media platform Twitter will introduce an "Official" label for select verified accounts including major media outlets and governments when it launches its new $8 premium subscription product, its early stage products executive Esther Crawford said on Tuesday. Crawford also confirmed that the revamped Twitter Blue subscription product, which will allow paid users to carry blue check marks on their accounts, will not actually verify users' identities. The lack of ID verification is likely to raise concerns about the possibility of people impersonating public figures. Already, such concerns have caused Twitter to hold off on launching the…

wontumionlineNewsTwitter

For over a year, the staff of Twitter Africa worked remotely while preparing to move into their Accra Headquarters to begin operations physically.

The remote operations had ended, and that was supposed to be good news for the staff and the African region, knowing that Twitter had established an office to serve its direct interests, but something big and unexpected hit them some…

Just days after taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has issued an ultimatum to engineers over a new project. According to a report from The Verge, Musk wants to launch a pay-for-play verification system in which verified users are charged $20 per month.

The Verge report says that the price of the verification is subject to change. The price will also cover so-far unspecified other features.

‘Asamoah Gyan Is A Lazy B*tch’ Plus 9 Old KiDi Tweets That Have Got Him Trending

wontumionlineShowbizAsamoah Gyan, Kidi, Twitter

KiDi has made it to the top trends on Twitter as his old tweets have resurfaced on the social media platform. Most of the tweets were shared ten years ago before the Ghanaian artiste shot to fame. In most the tweets, KiDi went trolled politicians, especially the then-sitting President John Mahama. “I heard Mahama will be giving an address later today... Which i think is totally useless,” he said in one the tweets. In other tweets, KiDi also went after the late President Attah Mills, as he used his ‘ghost’ to describe someone. KiDi’s trolling on the app was not…

KiDi Reacts To His Old Tweets Popping Up; Called Delay An Illiterate…

wontumionlineShowbizDelay, Kidi, Twitter

Some unknown person/person has dug up old tweets from celebrities on what seems to be an expose. Their targets since last night have been KiDi, King Promise and Delay. But KiDi seems to be at the worse end as he consistently trolled other celebrities before fame found him. He also displayed political loyalist tendencies criticizing the then NDC government. Since the tweets resurfaced, KiDi has not responded to them. Apparently, he went through a similar experience in 2020, where he apologised. Maybe, his reaction yesterday was to soften the blow and not take the attention off his listening for his EP, the…
