And gently mocking Canadian superstar The Weeknd, she said, "The Weeknd is next. Why? It's not even spelled correctly?"

Later tweeting: "If you have 'The' in your name i'm coming for you. I need answers today."

Both stars said they were delighted to be recognised by Warwick. The singer has now shared a video with her more than 127,000 Twitter followers to deny someone else was running her account.

"Well hello," she said in a video captioned "Came here to find foolishness in my replies".

"And this is for all of you tweeters who have decided I am not tweeting my own stuff to you. I want you to know I am - and I'm getting very, very, very good at it.

"See, I have a wonderful niece, her name is Britney. And she said, 'aunt Dionne, you'll have a lot of fun if you get on this with me'.

"I said, 'OK, teach me how to do it'. She did, and I am doing it. So, that should quell all you naysayers. And if it doesn't - deal with it."
