Funniest thread of 2021 (so far)

Everyone’s buzzing over Twitter user @pIasticskies’s hilariously petty ‘Nicki Minaj being annoyed by Safaree’ Twitter thread featuring the dysfunctional exes who clearly weren’t compatible, on any level, despite being together for over a decade.

At one point, it seemed like the Queen and her pop-locking hypeman would never split until their shocking breakup that spilled onto social media during a messy spat that’s still cackle-worthy to this day.

In a spicy interview with Funk Flex, Nicki dragged Safaree for hinting he wrote her rhymes.

“You don’t know the f—ked up sh-t he did to me,” she snapped.

“It don’t give you a right to lie about someone’s craft just because you know that they’re a woman and people will believe you.

So now years later you want to come back and say I lied after you’ve tried to tarnish my image. I’ve gotten over it now because you can go and listen to ‘Queen’ and hear it for your mothaf–king self.”

That was only one of a few bombs she dropped that included Safaree (allegedly) stealing money from her and buying prostitutes.

“For one person to do something like this to me out of sheer weakness and passive aggression and just hatefulness and vindictiveness, because you got caught sh–ting on a person who was taking care of you for years and years?

“Because you got caught sh–ting on a person who was taking care of you while you were paying for prostitutes and stealing their credit cards?”

It didn’t take long for Safaree to respond and drop a bomb of his own (before Nicki dropped another bomb about his Twitter).

“Remember the night you cut me, and I almost died,” he clapped back.

“The police and ambulance had to take me out the crib on a stretcher, and I had to lie and tell them I was trying to kill myself, so they wouldn’t take you to jail.

When things like that start happening more than once it’s time to dip.”

Thankfully, Nicki and Saf moved on and found happiness elsewhere but the internet never forgets as evidenced by this now super-viral thread.

In our eagerness to promote our businesses on Twitter, we sometimes forget what the “social” in social media actually means. If we want people to follow and pay attention to us, then we need to follow the same rules of social intercourse that apply in the real world.

Making interesting, useful and relevant contributions to the conversation, and giving recognition where it’s due, is appreciated by our followers and makes us feel good. Plus, according to research done by Twitter and others, it’s also the best way to get our tweets retweeted and favourited, and build a large following quickly.

Link and cite to grow your following

A simple way to develop an engaged Twitter following is to become a reliable source of high-quality information on a topic. Regularly tweet links to articles, photos, infographics and videos – your own and other people’s – on your chosen topic and watch your follower count soar. According to Twitter’s research, you can get twice as much engagement on a good tweet simply by adding a link.

When tweeting a link it’s a good idea to include the Twitter handle (e.g. “by @username” or “via @username”) of the source. Not only is it good manners, but it will help lift engagement.

Twitter’s research shows people using this tactic grow their following 17% more than average. Ultraman fighting evolution 3 ps2 iso on ps3.

Double down with hashtags

One of the easiest ways to improve your engagement is to add hashtags (the # symbol followed by the topic related to your tweet) to your tweets. Adding a hashtag makes your tweet more visible to people who are interested in the topic you cover.

Using hashtags helps you to identify and engage people discussing your topic outside your immediate following.

Twitter’s research shows that using hashtags can increase engagement by almost 100% for individuals.

“Personal story” tweets

Marketing coach Steve Slaunwhite discovered making his tweets more personal, rather than purely informational, produced better results. In a recent Twitter experiment, he used three different formats to tweet a link to an article he had written:

• “Tip” format: Use opportunities that already exist to reach your target market. But if none exist? Create your own crowd: [link]
• “Problem-solution”: Can’t get in front of your target audience? Maybe you need to create your own crowd. Here’s how: [link]
• “Personal story”: A few years ago, I couldn’t find a convenient way to get in front of a new market. So I created a way: [link]

The “personal story” format got more than two and half times as many clicks as the other two combined. It was also retweeted and favourited more. Slaunwhite noticed a similar pattern with many of his previous tweets.

Retweet the right way

Retweeting allows us to curate content on our topic for our followers. It’s also a great way to start relationships with the influencers and thought leaders in our niches.

There are two ways to retweet:

• You can simply click the retweet button on Twitter. This will cause the other person’s tweet to show up in your Twitter timeline under their name, saying it was retweeted by you.
• Then there’s the “old-style” retweet, which looks like this: “RT @username: original tweet”.

So what’s the difference and why is it important?

Well, retweeting is the best compliment you can give someone on Twitter. And if you’re giving someone a compliment, don’t you want them to know about it?

But in most Twitter clients, such as HootSuite and TweetDeck, if you use Twitter’s retweet button, the retweet doesn’t show up as a “mention”. So if the person you retweeted is using a Twitter client, they may not know you retweeted them.

That’s why if you want to get the attention of the person you’re retweeting, it’s best to use an old-style retweet. You can also edit the original tweet for brevity or clarity, and add your comments and hashtags.

Don’t use all the characters

It can be a challenge to limit your tweet length. We used to only have 140 characters. Now we have more. But I’m going to suggest you should try to make them even shorter. Why? Because you have to consider your retweeters.

It’s good practice to leave enough space for an old-style retweet (i.e four characters plus the length of your Twitter handle). Otherwise an old-style retweeter will have to trim your tweet. Also, people who retweet often like to add comments and offer their own take. So, if possible, you need to leave even a bit more room for them to do so.
