Twitter Helps Q-Tip Find High School Sweetheart

It wasn’t long before social media detectives found her Instagram page.

Rapper Q-Tip recently asked Twitter users to help him find a long-lost friend and in usual fashion, the social media platform did its thing and delivered.

Just before the weekend, on Friday, June 16, a little after pm, the Tribe Called Quest co-founder shared, “There was a girl i went to HS with…” noting that her name was “PAMELA SWEAT.” Q-Tip, said the pair “went to the PRINCE concert in 9th grade. @ MSG Pam if you’re out there id love to know u r well i think of u often."

It wasn’t long before social media investigators got on the case and eventually located an old graduation photo of Sweat. Q-Tip confirmed, "Yesssss!" that it was indeed the woman he had been searching for. Sweat’s Instagram account was ultimately found. Underneath a more recent photo, the rapper wrote, ”Pam!”

It’s unclear whether the pair will officially reconnect seeing as her last post is dated April 1, but at least now Q-Tip knows where he can find her if he ever wants to keep up with an old friend.
