'Has to be a joke': Eddie Murphy joins Twitter, promotes reggae track featuring Snoop Lion

Yes, Eddie Murphy has taken the plunge. Will it be a Twitter “party all the time“?

Er … evidently he joined Twitter to promote … oh dear … his reggae single “Red Light” featuring Snoop Lion.

.@eddiemurphy is on twitter and his first tweet was about his forthcoming reggae album with Snoop Lion. Not a joke.

Not a joke? Can we at least pretend for a while? Just for a little while.

@eddiemurphy is now on twitter. I hope his first tweet/profile are an elaborate joke. #ReggaeAlbum #SnoopLion

I only wish Rick James was alive to make fun of @eddiemurphy's venture into solo musicianship http://t.co/9BlUv5Iw6X

It’s no “Boogie in Your Butt” either.

But the Eddie Lion track is getting some rave reviews.

Wow I was NOT expecting this to be this good. Very surprised. Floored, a little. http://t.co/8fV164K9xf

Sigh:

How awesome would 1986 Eddie Murphy be on Twitter? Apparently the 2013 version just signed up. @eddiemurphy #BestComedianEver #Raw
