Janelle Monáe is sending fans directly to Twitter jail (Do not pass go. Do not collect $200) for liking a viral tweet comparing her to Mr. Monopoly — the mustached board-game character informally known as the Monopoly Man.
On Monday, the singer, actor and author jokingly threatened to quit music and cancel any upcoming tour dates after @gldnraes tweeted, “janelle monae finally showing off how fine she is instead of dressing like the monopoly man.” To be fair, Monáe has been known to rock more than a few top hats and tuxedos reminiscent of Monopoly mascot Rich Uncle Pennybags’ classic look.
“Ohh y’all n— liked this 26.8k times??” Monáe replied to the tweet. “no new music just for this.”
