Mashable - The Social Media Guide: Miley Cyrus Quits Twitter, Raps About It [YouTube Video]

  • Dave Konig · 1 month ago
    If she REALLY wanted a Twitter account for her friends... she could just make the tweets private. Twitter is probably better off without her junk.
  • Jerry Zambrano · 1 month ago
    ditto. Alyssa Milano has this feature enabled. Then again, I'm sure that her tweets aren't about her "pimples". Her's are a bit more mature, and personal to her fans.

    I like Miley Cyrus. (Someone needs to represent)
  • annoyedinvegas · 1 month ago
    So many of you all are just haters! If you can't say something nice, why say anything at all?
  • adarro · 1 month ago
    Does anyone else find it humorous that so many people went out of their way to say how much they didn't care? The whole 'Hannah Montana' phenom isn't exactly targeting my demographic (34 male single african-american [or whatever the PC classification du jour is] with no kids of HM range [or any age for that matter]), but screaming "I don't care about you" seems to be a much better indicator of who the juvenile is. For what it was and what it was worth to me, I enjoyed it, and plan to pretty much proceed with the rest of my life. +1 Miley, wannaB 'Haters - um.. rent a life and borrow a friend to brag about it.

  • Elise in NH · 1 month ago
    Miley, Darling...

    The problem wasn't Twitter. It was your shallow, vapid, over-indulged little life. Twitter's just a tool...you make it what you make it.

    Bye, now!
  • Vee · 1 month ago
    I honestly think many people aren't going to care. I mean... except for 12 year old kids that run around on the internet and happen to have twitter accounts.

    Aside from them, I think that it's not that big of a deal.

  • carlan · 1 month ago
    Yea the rumors are true, I deleted my twitter hah.
    Can you believe it, I got 2 2 million. I said Adios,
    I Had to say goodbye and this little rap is to tell my Fans why.
    No it wasn't because my friend told me too,
    Ya'll know very well that what you say I dont do.
    And the reason is simple, I started tweeting about pimples.
    I stopped living for moments and started living for people.
    Yea you write what your doing,
    but who really cares if i'm playing with noah or just doing my hair.
    Everything that i type. And everything that i do,
    all those lame gossip sites take it and make it news.
    I want my private life, Private. Im done trying to please.
    I ain't living for tabloids no. I'm living for me.
    No Emo quotes and fake feuds with demi.
    Yea, Im done with all that. And the truth is Im too busy.
    Yea I gotta admit that i miss Dane Cooks tweets.
    And i really like cooking [Or looking] at Katy Perrys and Britneys.
    I Might Of Had some with draws and I was a little obsessed.
    but i'm peacing out and i'm leaving with this.
    Hah. Goodbye. Uh Uh Goodbye.

    Miley Cyrus? Who's she?
    She was on twitter?
    Oh well (YAWN!!)
  • IconicImagery (NativeMoon) · 1 month ago
    You guys are having big problems finding real news to report eh?
  • Donovan · 1 month ago
    This is social media news. Miley was very active and very well-loved on Twitter. She had 2.2 million followers and left them all hanging with no warning. I'd say that's news. And this video simply shows that she has a sense of humor about it. Nothing wrong with that.
  • Michael Roach · 1 month ago
    Miley and rap don't mix. Actually, rap doesn't really go well with anything...
  • Chuck Sharpsteen · 1 month ago
    I didn't know she had a Twitter! How much down home country goodness did I miss?
  • richrecruiter · 1 month ago
    Good bye. I'll see you around the trailer park.
  • tre · 4 days ago
    ?? LOL, sure guy. The girls with millions of dollars is going to be hanging around YOUR trailer park.
  • Adam Haider · 1 month ago
    She obviously doesn't listen to Hip Hop. I would hardly call that rapping.
    I agree with Vee, it's just one less self-obsessed, attention seeking celebrity we don't have to deal with. Don't be surprised though, in most cases they will either create a private account or their managers tell them that if they don't go back on, their ratings will devalue.
  • christinelu · 1 month ago
    hmm, so citing privacy reasons miley cyrus deletes her twitter account ...and makes a viral rap video about it? ...um, ok.

    Well I guess no one can be a fly on her wall now...
  • Michael Roney, Jr. · 1 month ago
    She had 22million followers.
    While yes, a lot of them were probably bots, there are still millions of users who were interested in hearing (reading) what she had to say.
    While she still has other ways to communicate with her fans (YouTube for example), this was one of the most accessible.
    Lots of her fans can't afford (or aren't allowed to have) a MileyWorld account to see her blog.
    Tweeting about her private life is what made it all the more special. She wasn't hiding anything, it was all right there.

    She will be missed indeed.

    (And if you don't think anyone cares, then why was #ComeBackMiley a Trending Topic?)

    spanish:

    Sí, los rumores son ciertos
    he borrado my twitter, ha puedes creerlo
    tenia 2,2 millones, luego dije adiós,
    tuve que decir goodbye
    y este pequeño rap es para decir a mis fans porqué
    no, no fue porque mi amigo me lo dijo
    saben muy bien que no hago lo que me dicen
    sí, las razones son simple,
    empecé twitteando cosas sencillas
    detuve mi vida por momentos
    y empecé viviendo para la gente
    sí, escribes lo que haces pero a quien le importa
    si estoy jugando con noah o sólo peinándome
    todo lo que tipeo y todo lo que hago
    esos tontos blogs de chismes lo toman y lo hacen noticia
    quiero mi vida privada, privada
    no más tratando de agradar
    ya no vivo para tabloides, no, vivo para mí
    no mas emo tweets ni peleas falsas con demi
    ya he terminado con todo eso
    y la verdad es que estoy ocupada
    sí, y admito que extraño los twits de Dane Cook
    y realmente me gusta mirar a Katy Perry y Britney
    Me gustaba mucho el twitter
    y estuve un poco obsesionada.
    Pero estoy en paz y me voy con esto.
    Ja. Adiós. Uh Uh Adiós.

    Appropriately, since she's welshing on her Twitter presence, the Welsh translation:

    Ie y rumors yn wir, yr wyf yn dileu fy hah Twitter.
    Allwch chi credu ei fod, Cawn 2 2 filiwn. Adios dywedais,
    Roedd gen i ddweud hwyl fawr ac mae hyn ychydig rap yw dweud fy Fans pam.
    Nac oedd, nid oherwydd fy ffrind yn dweud wrthyf hefyd,
    Ya'll yn gwybod yn dda iawn bod yr hyn yr ydych yn dweud I dont ei wneud.
    A'r rheswm yn syml, dechreuais tweeting am pimples.
    Stopio Rwy'n byw ar gyfer adegau ac yn byw ar gyfer pobl.
    Ie chi ysgrifennu beth yw eich wneud,
    ond sydd wir yn poeni os ydw i'n chwarae gyda Noa neu dim ond gwneud fy ngwallt.
    Math popeth i hynny. A phopeth sydd i ei wneud,
    holl safleoedd hynny sy'n siarad lame fynd ag ef a'i wneud yn newyddion.
    Rwyf am i fy mywyd preifat, preifat. Im ceisio gwneud os gwelwch yn dda.
    Nid wyf yn byw ar gyfer tabloids no. Rwy'n byw i mi.
    Dim dyfyniadau Emo a feuds ffug gyda Demi.
    Ie, Im ei wneud gyda phob hynny. Ac y gwir yn Im yn rhy brysur.
    Ie gotta Rwy'n cyfaddef eu bod i miss Dane tweets Cogyddion.
    Ac i 'n sylweddol cara coginio [Neu edrych] ar Perrys Katy a Britneys.
    Rwy'n grym Wedi rhai â dod ac yr wyf yn obsesiwn ychydig.
    ond rwy'n peacing allan ac yr wyf yn gadael gyda hyn.
    Hah. Hwyl fawr. UH UH Hwyl.

  • Chris Heath · 1 month ago
    this just confirms for me why i'm glad that i don't care about ms. cyrus - so she wants to keep her private life private? then why was she typing private things into twitter? dumb if you ask me... dumb all the way around. And shouldn't she be in school right now?

    someone needs to tell her not to quit her day job (whatever that is) rap definitely isnt for her. as far as the tabloids are concerned, when you go from a ten year old's idol to a pussy cat doll wannabe over night, you might wanna prepare for some flack. good riddens... to bad she'll be back in a week.

    The video was not supposed to be for you. Do you not get that? It was for her FANS. She deleted her Twitter with no warning and wanted to give her fans some sort of explanation. Which she did by doing something humorous that she wouldn't normally do.

    Yea you write what your doing,
    but who really cares if i'm playing with noah or just doing my hair.

    Evidently she does if she's tweeting about it.

    I want my private life, Private. Im done trying to please.

    So lock your tweets. Don't tweet about your private life.

    Yea, Im done with all that. And the truth is Im too busy.

    So you weren't too busy before. Please.

    Hi,l'm a huge fan of Miley Cyrus.l used to follow her twitters,they were very good.As far as Miley quiting her twitter site is concerned,all that bothered me,was l watched on the entertainment channel on sky tv,that Miley quit because her boyfriend liam,told her to.l didn't want to believe this,because up until now,Miley has given me the impression that she pretty much does what she wants,because she's a very strong willed girl,who knows what she wants out of life.And Miley, if you are reading this l am not running you down,in any way,as l think you are the most Beautiful Girl,in the World,and l would never say anything to upset you.l don't know if liam is your boyfriend,or not,but please don't let any boy,tell you how to live your life,the Miley l know and love,wouldn't let that happen.lf a boy loves you,he will accept you,the way you are,and not try to change you.As far as your rap is concerned,l think it was brilliant.But then l'm going to say that anyway,because as far as l'm concerned,you can do no wrong.l will always be a fan of yours,Miley.l will always be there,for you.And for all you other ppl out there,reading this,pick the bones out of that.God Bless you,Miley,you Rock.XOXO.

    I'm a bit late on this topic, but isn't this true of many of Twitter's high profile accounts?
    Or for that matter true on most sites.

    Keeping in contact with ones audience is important. Twitter (for now) being popular and having the attraction of "real-time" search (for the most part anyway, when it isn't down lol)

    I personally am indifferent as to whether or not Miley returns. However, I think it would be to her audience's/fan's best interest. There will always be gossip. It takes a mature person to take it with a grain of salt, especially given the source (e.g. tabloids, SPAM websites, Bloggers with no credibility).

    Thanks for the topic, Pete.
