Prince Totally Over His Own Facebook Q&A

Reddit AMAs are effective ways for celebrities and not-quite-famous people alike to get a bit of extra attention and elevate their profiles by interacting directly with the public. In the past, we asked whether such events could serve as a new kind of reputation management tool.

While Facebook Q&As are less…notorious, they do exist. In fact, Prince held one yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately for the 1.7 million people who “like” his page, the 13,000 people who liked or shared the announcement, and the 3,000+ users who submitted questions, the man chose to remain as mysterious as always.

He answered a single question: the first one.

The purpose of the event was to promote the two new albums Prince released this week, but he certainly didn’t mention them.
