Excellent single but probably Prince’s best during a period where he was putting out hit after hit.

Trump: "Do we love Nicki Minaj? She was here a couple of weeks ago. So beautiful. Her skin so beautiful. I said, 'Nicki, so beautiful.' Her nails, her nails they're like that long. I said, 'Nicki, are they real?' She said she didn't want to get into that."

Imagine hating the person that died MORE than the person that killed her...
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

One of my favorite songs ever!!

Also, as iconic as this song is, it’s always strange to me it only peaked at #77 on the U.S. music charts.. did crazy numbers overseas tho
