@@bryankelly8979 his biggest mistake was to pay attention to Larry Grahams' brain washing and end in a Cult... I wonder how much impact it had on his physical health 😥
He was on Soul Train. They tried to interview him & he froze up & said he'd never do another one. He did through. He agreed to this guy's interview but only if they done it in the car & he could only use what Prince told him. He did do a couple more. But not many! You should watch that clip on Soul Train.. Or was it American Bandstand? I think it was Soul Train. It's a trip watching that!!
@@bryankelly8979 Yeah, he was definitely all over the place, at various times. Pro-American, Anti-American, pro-gay, anti-gay, the most sexist misogynist ever, to the biggest pro-woman-ally. And even at times Quite Racist. Like Incredibly racist. (against whites, which I guess the Left would probably not have a problem with.) But it was mostly just against white males (not white women, which he had Noooo problem with. Couldn't get enough of them!! In fact.) LOL. He was quite something.
I love the response Prince gave to a reporter who wouldn't give up on asking him about his sexuality. His response? "Are you making an offer? " The male reporter immediately let him know that no, of course not. Princes response? "Then why would you care who is in my bed?" And when he was asked about why he wore the high heels, ruffles, and mascara? "Because the women love it"
So that was his response when people questioned if he were gay?! 🤦🏽♀️... I read somewhere were he said " Introduced me to your woman and let her decide if I'm gay or not " 😄💁🏽♀️💕
@@cassandradenise3037 Not saying it's his general response when questioned if he was gay. That was just his response to that one reporter. *shrugs* I am sure that reporter wasn't the only one to ask.
@@truthbetoldineverwasyours8576 I know love I was just saying that I never knew his ** Prince's** response was what the first commenter stated : " Are you making an offer?" or why would the interviewer ask him that question "?!... I always thought his response was " Introduced me to your woman and let her decide if I'm gay or not " >> IT WAS MY MISTAKE FOR THINKING THAT THIS WHOLE TIME
True indeed but all that ‘men with makeup’ stuff started in the early 1970s with Marc Boland from T.Rex, David Bowie and other glam rockers. Could probably take it back further with Little Richard in the late ‘50s… Regardless, it’s funny to see people trip over stuff like that ‘cause those are the dudes who were getting all the chicks back in the day. They LOVED that shit. Haha.
Is it me, or are we trying nowadays to put more labels on people.. back then I think it was " just" the way he looked, that was Prince, with great music ! 🎶🎤💜
I always think of Prince as the definition of a free spirit. His talent and creativity were second to none. And he put on the best Super Bowl halftime show of all.
There will never be anyone who could ever come close to replicating Prince. That man was straight, original, and so damn talented. He could play so many instruments. He was a very unique and beautiful human being and the world is at a loss since he's been gone. This is a rabbit hole you should definitely fall into. You won't be disappointed.
Prince's androgyny was very attractive to women. He challenged typical masculine stereotypes, but was very masculine to women. He gave a lot of female musicians opportunity.
He was asked why he wore make up and dress the way he did and he said “because the girls dig it.” Being one of those girls I completely agree. His eyes are gorgeous!
Prince, first off was a musical GENIUS, but he is the literal definition of “Eccentric Enigma” and it only added to his charm as a performer. RIP Prince!!
I know. Some younger people think very linearly, like if things are more open or relaxed now, they must have been less so in any given time in the past. Nope! Society leaning more conservative or open/free goes up and down over time. We had the roaring 20s then the uptightness & conformity of the 50s, then a swing back to freedom to be who you are in the 60s and beyond. I was in high school and college in the 80s and it was great!
He wrote mega hits for women - “I Feel for You” by Chaka Khan, “Manic Monday” by The Bangles, “Stand Back” by Stevie Nicks, “Glamorous Life” by Sheila E., “With this Tear” by Celine Dion, and under the alias Joey Coco, Prince wrote “You’re My Love” for Kenny Rogers.
Prince was amazing. You should watch Prince's Superbowl performance. Performing with his electric guitar, in the rain! Prince, you are much missed, and much loved. RIP
One guy in the business said Prince would be in a party wearing more makeup than any woman there but walk out with any and all the women there!❤️ RIP We still Love you!
Prince was straight.. and sexy AF! He played all the instruments!!! Like 27! He was my favorite artist in the 80’s. I found him in 10th grade - his controversy album. Amazing sexy artist
@@vovindequasahithat wasn’t the point.. he COULD play all the instruments .. and in the old days pre his 1999 album he often did play the instruments for his tracks. The point here is that he was one talented dude.
@@candacemay7187 I was thinking that as well, but pretty sure he said his dad was air force. Green Beret's are army. I preferred being able to wear berets indicating I was assigned to an airborne unit although I never went to jump school or got wings...lol.
You need to watch his Super Bowl performance! There’s so many songs you probably don’t know which are amazing too, his music just makes you feel things other artists don’t
he's a performer, performers wear makeup...100% straight and 100% original! Do yourself and your daughter a favor and check out his performance on the Muppet Show
I’m lucky enough to have seen this guy in London years ago. He played every single hit, 3 hours and he’d go to an after party where he’d go hard singing for another 2 hours.
Prince is a legend and genius! You have only begun to scratch the surface of his talent! Check out his hits, Pop Life, Delirious, I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man, Adore, Sexy Mutha F’cker, and more! As far as anyone knows Prince was straight and many musicians back in the eighties wore makeup! Most of the New Wave artists and Glam rockers wore makeup! David Bowie, DuranDuran❤, Poison, Adam Ant, and many more! I was a teen in those days and believe me all my favorite straight male rock idols wore makeup at that time! Later on Prince along with the others stopped wearing makeup because Fashion and styles changed! He was just sexy as heck and has some nasty songs like Darling Nikki, Head, Erotic City, Cream, and more! Check those out too!😂❤❤
It was the 80's. There were tons of artists who wore tons of makeup and flambouyant clothes. Micheal Jackson had the glove and his famous red leather get up; Twisted Sister; KISS; David Bowie; Boy George; nearly all of new-wave and pop-synth.
Omg glad you found this one. you have to remember the time his stuff was made, and a lot of the guys in bands wore eyeliner, flashy clothes, and big hair 😂
Prince was an incredible musician. He wrote, produced and played all the instruments on his tracks. He paved the way for other artists not to be exploited by their record labels. It's so sad he is gone but like so many other great artists he was a tortured soul and the loss of his baby boy was too much. I don't think he ever fully recovered from it and self medicated the pain. Hope he is finally at peace ❤ 😢
1999 was my step-dad's(and hero) favorite song by Prince. He always said he wanted it played at his funeral. He started going to church and got saved about 12 years before he passed from cancer. But he still wanted this song played at his funeral because he said he didn't want anyone to cry when he was gone. His preacher loved and respected him so much that they did play 1999 at the church for his funeral and on a loop at the end of the service. So 1. it was one of probably the only times 1999 was played in a church. And 2. I am probably the only person you will see cry like a baby listening to 1999. RIP Dalton Evans, my hero. You will always be missed.
Prince was one of those artists like David Bowie who just let his freak flag fly and made all of the rest of us who felt a little different know that was okay. A lot of Prince's lyrics reference the fact that he is "not a woman, not a man" but he had many relationships with women and was married once.
He is NOT gay, or bisectual by ANY stretch. He had storied respect for female artists and women in general. Many, many, many relationships. He was a creative genius. Period. Sexy as hell. Heterosexual AF. The GOAT.
Prince had a very androgynous wardrobe. He didn’t give an F. He got all the women. Wendy and Lisa are a huge part of his journey, they’re both in this video. His wardrobe was confusing to everyone until you finally stopped trying to interpret it, and just accept that this is/was Prince. He never changed his style to match the times. He was always going to be Prince.
As were Appolonia Kotero and Sheila E. They may not all have been friends with benefits, I don't know, but he was instrumental in boosting all of their careers. I do believe that he was sexually amibiguous appearing for professional reasons. Pegasus, as a recording artist, you need to check out his titanic fight with the recording industry. For a number of years the fight resulted in his calling himself "The artist" or "the artist formerly known as Prince". To shorten his name, he used a stylized question mark with a squiggle.
I watched an interview with his first ex-wife once where she explained the first time she met him. She said he was wearing heals, ruffles, lace and smelled like women's perfume but was the most masculine man in the room. He just had the stuff. Prince was once asked about wearing heels. He said people think he wore heels because he is short, I wear them because the women love it. True that! Haha!
I was talking with my coworker the day we found out Prince (RIP) died. She said"I love Strawberry Beret". I said " you mean Raspberry Beret. 2 minutes of silence. She said "yes" when i asked if she was fact checking me. Lol. I told her my favorite Beatles song is " Raspberry Fields".
Prince is a performer… He knew how to get the attention first…. But his music held you.. He had a wife and a child, who sadly passed….. Prince was once of a kind…
Woohoo. I saw the Purple Rain concert in the 80's! There was no one better for a live show. NO ONE! Everyone involved put everything they had into that show. The Time, Shelia E.....they were all incredible. I cannot even imagine the rehearsal it took....The audience got paid! I came home and told my mom that I thought we owed Prince money, lol. Big thumbs up! edit: bunch of guys in the 80's wore makeup; it did not speak to their bedroom preferences...Bowie, all the metal hair bands, Duran Duran, Adam Ant... those were simply excessive, big hair, wild, glamorous times and Prince just did it best.
Kat Williams said in his club shay shay interview that he knew Prince since he was 12, and they had a connection and they had 2 main things in common, women, and cars.
Prince was asked why he wore high heels and he simply said " because women love them ". He was running parallel and possibly a little ahead of other similar movements around the world that were anti butch rock. He was reported to have affairs with some beautiful women but never felt the need to define his sexuality.
100% straight, even if you don’t react to it, listen to Get Off…a reaction would be great tho😂😂😂. You’ll get it then. Prince was a MUSICAL GENIUS. Most of his music, studio recordings are all him. ALL. All of the instruments, vocals, all him. He was a LADIES MAN. He was with some of the most beautiful women of the time: Shelia E Vanity Apollonia Kim Bassinger Mayte Garcia Carmen Electra List goes on… Prince was Jehovah’s Witness, so he didn’t believe in blood transfusions. He desperately needed both hips replaced due to decades of dance and those high heels. However hip replacement surgery frequently necessitates the need blood transfusion, so he refused surgery. As a result, the level of pain he was in needed a lot of pain killers. Was so sad to lose him the way we did.
Prince was and still is an icon. He could play every instrument. Mega talented. He was a Player!! Go watch the movie Purple Rain. It has your answers. He wrote the movie, full soundtrack which was the album Purple Rain. He loved Little Richard, hence the makeup and dance moves. Let’s Go 🤘🏻🇺🇸💯
Prince discovered Tara Patrick and renamed her Carmen Electra. She was his muse, girlfriend and protege for awhile. He wrote an album for her and cast her as a singer and dancer. Prince was something else when it came to the ladies.
Exactly. We didn't pay half as much attention to what other people did, as people do today. "You do you" was seriously how we thought!! So weird how people think they started that thought process! Haha! Nah, we truly didn't care, and we were friends with everyone!!!
Prince goes back to the 70's. He had a large Afro. No makeup. He changed his look all the time. He always wore the 4 inch heels. Because he was short. He could play something like 24 instruments. He wrote almost all his owe music.
Yes! Prince is my #1 fav since I'm been 11-12yrs old & I'm in my 50s. Was devastated when he died and still bothers me..musical genius. It's Raspberry Beret..Beret is a hat and it's French its pronounced like Ber-ray) & it's the hat that all the military people wear..my dad wore one in the Army..the flatter type cap that tilts to one side and pins are wore it or patch ; my dads had a 1st Cavalry patch on it. Glad youre enjoying your musically development. I was raised to love all types of music..so it's fun to watch your excitement. Have a great day & Blessed be❤😊
Never heard that Prince was gay or bi sexual. I never saw a Prince in just regular street clothes. Always elaborate garments with beautiful patterns, capes etc His interviews are always interesting. You never knew what to expect. I think he designed his clothes too
I just remember back in the 80's I was a manager of a convenience store, now don;t hold this against me. I had an employee who played Prince on the radio in the store, and I told him not to play that music in the store, I thought it was too kinky I don't know it was fast. LOL boy was I behind the times I love love his music now.
Yep, Prince as many have already said in the comments was a musical genius leaving us an amazing musical legacy, and as you say BP way ahead of his time...check out Sign of the Times and listen to the lyrics...and check out his live Superbowl half time performance...the best one ever imo...rest in paradise Prince 💜🕊️ 🎶
I'm a led head but Prince is in top ten. He can play every instrument not just guitar. He was one of the greatest I will say a good writer and fantastic guitar player. Your channel is much fun. Thanks 😊
It was such a scene then. We dressed up EVERY weekend night, went to the clubs, and danced the nights away. The women LOVED him, he was not for the guys. He was easy to dance to in high high heels.
Straight Men in Music have been wearing make-up since at least the 70's onward. Prince is ONE SECURE and Evolved MoFo - truly none of those societal norms apply to him OR phased him - a True Artist
No woman ever thought he was gay. Though he in no way would be someone I would normally find attractive, he was the exception. The man exuded sensuality and carnality. He was sexy in a small package. Never in my life have I found make up on a man even cute but I barely notice it on him. Remember, in that time frame, many wore eyeliner etc that did heavy metal. Not full on like he did but definitely was done. I was never an ultra fan but I did like alot of his work. He was extraordinarily talented. He was a PRINCE.
Princess was married to his wife in Minneapolis (where I live) the streets were blocked and it was a very big deal. I used to drive past the Pasley Paisley in Minnetonka Minnesota every day on my way to work. I believe he was straight. Great song.❤️✌🏻🎶
Prince was a Jehovahs Witness. He was married twice and had a son, but his son passed away. Prince Roger Nelson is his full name and he passed away in 2016, which it just seams like it was just yesterday.
look closely and you can catch a very young Pat Smear (future member of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters). He's in the background, on the right side sitting in front of the piano, with long dark hair and wearing all white.
My sister had a life-sized cardboard Prince in her apartment back in the day! We all were crazy about Prince! But you GOT to do his very first hit that will always be my favorite song of his, "I Wanna Be Your Lover". It has the BEST dance beat ever, it's impossible not to move something when you hear it!
Prince was straight the 80s were just a really glam heavy era and he leaned into it. He was also a devout Jehovah Witness so I don't think he was as crazy off the stage as his songs would lead you to believe.
Wanna have your mind blown 🤯 “Little Nicky,” he was just his own thing and I believe he is completely straight. I could be wrong. And he just has the type of eyelashes and brows and facial structure that makes him look like he is wearing makeup when he is not.
to this day it is said Prince was the only guy to go to a party with high heels and lipstick and steal your woman
He had IT and more IT!!!!!!!!
He wore mascara, not lipstick.
@@keristory5978eyeliner, maskara
That's it
And not a few of your men.
He was an enigma! Go listen to Erotic city
He was definitely straight. Very flamboyant but straight.
Wildly conservative in his later years. He was Jehovah's Witness, I believe? His had some odd ways of thinking and some of his interviews show that.
Very flamboyant sexual ! :))) Sexy MF is an amazing song... ! It was him and Madonna who were That naughty !

Actually prince was 100% straight…he was with and dated some of the most beautiful women in the world.

💯
For me it was Bon Scott of AC/DC and the late brilliant guitarist Steve Clark from Def Leppard. Cried my eyes out for both.
oh my God I'm totally exactly the same as you
Yeah a one two punch
It’s called style. He stood out with his look and his extraordinary talent.
When this was all over MTV, I honestly found a raspberry beret in a thrift store. Wore it proudly.
Lol... back in the 80's some guys wore more makeup than women did!! Guys in the hair bands just about all wore makeup. Prince = Legend...
Prince looked like Little Richard, played guitar like Jimmy Hendrix and danced like James Brown. All his idols
The raspberry hat, a beret, is pronounced
BA RAY, which rhymes with SORBET.

Men wore makeup starting with David Bowie in the 70s and then into early 80s New Wave and then late 80s Hair Metal. But yes, Prince was a trailblazer.

He had a baby who passed as well 🙏🏻
Never take the place of your man is one of my favorites too! 💜
LOVE that song!
One of my favorite Prince songs! Ahead of his time and a musical genius! More Prince please!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Prince had off the charts Swag 24/7
I was talking with my coworker the day we found out Prince (RIP) died. She said"I love Strawberry Beret". I said " you mean Raspberry Beret. 2 minutes of silence. She said "yes" when i asked if she was fact checking me. Lol. I told her my favorite Beatles song is " Raspberry Fields".
😂😂😂
You fell for the mansplaining bait. LoL

Prince is a performer… He knew how to get the attention first…. But his music held you..
He had a wife and a child, who sadly passed….. Prince was once of a kind…
Woohoo. I saw the Purple Rain concert in the 80's! There was no one better for a live show. NO ONE! Everyone involved put everything they had into that show. The Time, Shelia E.....they were all incredible. I cannot even imagine the rehearsal it took....The audience got paid! I came home and told my mom that I thought we owed Prince money, lol. Big thumbs up!
edit: bunch of guys in the 80's wore makeup; it did not speak to their bedroom preferences...Bowie, all the metal hair bands, Duran Duran, Adam Ant... those were simply excessive, big hair, wild, glamorous times and Prince just did it best.
Prince was straight!! Played to the hilt, loved what the other guy said...wore high heels and lipstick and stole your girl in a blink!!❤😂
Kat Williams said in his club shay shay interview that he knew Prince since he was 12, and they had a connection and they had 2 main things in common, women, and cars.
Prince was married twice to two different women and he always loved women. He was a man in every sense of the word.
Prince was asked why he wore high heels and he simply said " because women love them ". He was running parallel and possibly a little ahead of other similar movements around the world that were anti butch rock. He was reported to have affairs with some beautiful women but never felt the need to define his sexuality.
Prince loved women. I feel he just loved beauty in general.
It has been said that Prince played 27 different instruments!! Heck, I can't even name 27 instruments!!❤🎉😂
100% straight, even if you don’t react to it, listen to Get Off…a reaction would be great tho😂😂😂. You’ll get it then.
Prince was a MUSICAL GENIUS. Most of his music, studio recordings are all him. ALL. All of the instruments, vocals, all him.
He was a LADIES MAN. He was with some of the most beautiful women of the time:
Shelia E
Vanity
Apollonia
Kim Bassinger
Mayte Garcia
Carmen Electra
List goes on…
Prince was Jehovah’s Witness, so he didn’t believe in blood transfusions. He desperately needed both hips replaced due to decades of dance and those high heels. However hip replacement surgery frequently necessitates the need blood transfusion, so he refused surgery. As a result, the level of pain he was in needed a lot of pain killers. Was so sad to lose him the way we did.
Gor to be the MTV live performance with the yellow 'suit' 😅
'Kiss' A 1986 Prince song that got frequent airplay for over 20 years.
Truly one of a kind. There will never be another like him. R.I.P.
Prince was and still is an icon. He could play every instrument. Mega talented. He was a Player!! Go watch the movie Purple Rain. It has your answers. He wrote the movie, full soundtrack which was the album Purple Rain. He loved Little Richard, hence the makeup and dance moves. Let’s Go 🤘🏻🇺🇸💯
Prince discovered Tara Patrick and renamed her Carmen Electra. She was his muse, girlfriend and protege for awhile. He wrote an album for her and cast her as a singer and dancer. Prince was something else when it came to the ladies.
The 80's were a lot more relaxed than people today think.
Exactly. We didn't pay half as much attention to what other people did, as people do today. "You do you" was seriously how we thought!! So weird how people think they started that thought process! Haha! Nah, we truly didn't care, and we were friends with everyone!!!
@@angelabennett-engele1977, you nailed that one! Friends with everyone. Ethnicity meant nothing. Played with anyone on the block.
Shit, no kidding.🙂↕️
Right? We Gen X had the best times to grow up from.
Prince goes back to the 70's. He had a large Afro. No makeup. He changed his look all the time. He always wore the 4 inch heels. Because he was short. He could play something like 24 instruments. He wrote almost all his owe music.
And the music for many others. He was amazingly talented. I had come to say that about the instruments.
Got to see Prince live twice in LA... Amazing show 🔥
Yes! Prince is my #1 fav since I'm been 11-12yrs old & I'm in my 50s. Was devastated when he died and still bothers me..musical genius.
It's Raspberry Beret..Beret is a hat and it's French its pronounced like Ber-ray) & it's the hat that all the military people wear..my dad wore one in the Army..the flatter type cap that tilts to one side and pins are wore it or patch ; my dads had a 1st Cavalry patch on it. Glad youre enjoying your musically development. I was raised to love all types of music..so it's fun to watch your excitement. Have a great day &
Blessed be❤😊
Prince threw down with the ladies.
A few years ago, this was explained to me as Prince's tribute to the Beatles. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it!
I had a raspberry beret I wore for years because of this song
The Revolution was a GREAT band. I especially loved The Doctor on keyboards. Look at him in the back getting down in his scrubs. lol
Never heard that Prince was gay or bi sexual. I never saw a Prince in just regular street clothes. Always elaborate garments with beautiful patterns, capes etc His interviews are always interesting. You never knew what to expect. I think he designed his clothes too
Around the world in a day was such a great album...
I just remember back in the 80's I was a manager of a convenience store, now don;t hold this against me. I had an employee who played Prince on the radio in the store, and I told him not to play that music in the store, I thought it was too kinky I don't know it was fast. LOL boy was I behind the times I love love his music now.
He plays every instrument !!! Including drums . He can bawl on the Bb court too!!in heels!!
“U Got the Look”, “Kiss”, “Let’s Go Crazy”
Yep, Prince as many have already said in the comments was a musical genius leaving us an amazing musical legacy, and as you say BP way ahead of his time...check out Sign of the Times and listen to the lyrics...and check out his live Superbowl half time performance...the best one ever imo...rest in paradise Prince 💜🕊️ 🎶
He didn't just date Carmen Electra, he gave her that name. I always wanted to be named by Prince.
Same with both Appalonia and Vanity. Gave them their names and dated them.
I'm a led head but Prince is in top ten. He can play every instrument not just guitar. He was one of the greatest
I will say a good writer and fantastic guitar player. Your channel is much fun. Thanks 😊
He was straight. He was actually married once and had a child who died. The makeup is just a look and back in the day, lots of musicians did it.
It was such a scene then. We dressed up EVERY weekend night, went to the clubs, and danced the nights away. The women LOVED him, he was not for the guys. He was easy to dance to in high high heels.
People just don't understand how unique Prince was. There was nobody like him.
Straight Men in Music have been wearing make-up since at least the 70's onward. Prince is ONE SECURE and Evolved MoFo - truly none of those societal norms apply to him OR phased him - a True Artist
I was blessed to be able to see Prince with Sheila E. opening on the Purple Rain tour. It was A MA ZING!
No woman ever thought he was gay. Though he in no way would be someone I would normally find attractive, he was the exception.
The man exuded sensuality and carnality. He was sexy in a small package. Never in my life have I found make up on a man even cute but I barely notice it on him. Remember, in that time frame, many wore eyeliner etc that did heavy metal. Not full on like he did but definitely was done.
I was never an ultra fan but I did like alot of his work.
He was extraordinarily talented. He was a PRINCE.
Princess was married to his wife in Minneapolis (where I live) the streets were blocked and it was a very big deal. I used to drive past the Pasley Paisley in Minnetonka Minnesota every day on my way to work. I believe he was straight. Great song.❤️✌🏻🎶
Prince was a Jehovahs Witness. He was married twice and had a son, but his son passed away. Prince Roger Nelson is his full name and he passed away in 2016, which it just seams like it was just yesterday.
Prince broke all the rules. Fabulously, I might add. 🔥
look closely and you can catch a very young Pat Smear (future member of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters).
He's in the background, on the right side sitting in front of the piano, with long dark hair and wearing all white.
My sister had a life-sized cardboard Prince in her apartment back in the day! We all were crazy about Prince! But you GOT to do his very first hit that will always be my favorite song of his, "I Wanna Be Your Lover". It has the BEST dance beat ever, it's impossible not to move something when you hear it!
It's Raspberry Beret (BER-RAY).He's STRAIGHT.
Listen, Prince was true royalty. HE LOVED WOMEN and dressed better than most of use. Prince was that man! And women adored him right back! ❤
Prince was straight the 80s were just a really glam heavy era and he leaned into it. He was also a devout Jehovah Witness so I don't think he was as crazy off the stage as his songs would lead you to believe.
My ex was a big hard rock guy, and preferred Prince playing blues guitar, but he said this song was a perfectly crafted pop song.
Wanna have your mind blown 🤯
“Little Nicky,” he was just his own thing and I believe he is completely straight. I could be wrong.
And he just has the type of eyelashes and brows and facial structure that makes him look like he is wearing makeup when he is not.
Man, I would pay to see his reaction to that song…or “Gett Off”! LOL
Darling Nikki
Yeah, Little Nicky was a terrible movie Darling Nicki is the song.
Prince was always ahead of his time... an awesome artist and person
