Michelle Obama may have ruined a former Obama administration employee's Cinco de Mayo with a single tweet.
The former First Lady shared a series of digits that appeared to be a phone number on her Twitter account Friday afternoon. When NBC News called the number — which has a St. Louis area code — a voicemail recording said it belonged to a man named Duncan Wolfe.
A former White House digital strategist shares the same name and lists the same number on his website.

The tweet was quickly deleted from Obama's account, but a Twitter account was quickly created to memorialize the mistake.

Some on Twitter expressed their condolences for Wolfe's voicemail.

Kanye West is done with social media - at least for now. As of Friday, the rapper/fashion designer's Twitter and Instagram accounts were no longer active. The url pages now say "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" on Twitter and "Sorry, this page isn't available." on Instagram.
It's unclear why Yeezy decided to delete his accounts, but interestingly enough, he did so the morning before launching his new children's collection designed with wife Kim Kardashian. The Calabasas-themed range is scheduled to drop at 12 p.m. PT on TheKidsSupply.com, a website designed with the same type font as West's Yeezy e-commerce website.
On the other hand, Kardashian is promoting their kid's line through her own social media accounts. She noted on Twitter that her other half hand-drew the logo for their kid's line.

Perhaps West wanted to separate himself even more from the limelight by going on a social media cleanse. He did skip the Met Gala on Mon…
