Some Prince fans are so annoying. Most of them I bet can't even name another Prince song besides Purple Rain.

Excerpts:

Justin Timberlake is gearing up for his Super Bowl halftime performance and the release of his latest album Man of the Woods, which stirred up polarizing viewswhen the album’s trailer dropped earlier this month. There’s also been controversy regarding Timberlake’s album release and listening party at Paisley Park, the late Prince’s famous Minneapolis estate.

When the event was revealed earlier this month, Prince fans angrily pointed out on Twitter that Timberlake previously dissed Prince on Timbaland’s 2007 track “Give It To Me,” which also featured Nelly Furtado. On the song, JT sang:

We missed you on the charts last week
Damn, that’s right you wasn’t there
Now if se-sexy never left, then why is everybody on my shi-i-it?
Don’t hate on me just because you didn’t come up with it

The lyrics reference Timberlake’s 2006 single “SexyBack,“ which topped the charts despite initially receiving negative marks from critics. However, it’s also a reference to Prince, who poked fun at “SexyBack” during a performance at a post-Emmy Awards party in 2006. Prince reportedly said, “For whoever is claiming they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!"
