After a long hiatus, Prince proved that he has a sense of humour as he shook the Twitter-sphere, teasing us with the cover art for the new single from his group, 3rd Eye Girl and we couldn’t love it more!
If the image looks very familiar, then you are right! It is Dave Chappelle! “Why don’t you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?” says Dave Chappelle dressed up the ‘Purple Rain‘ singer, Prince, in his infamous Chappelle’s Show, a sketch-comedy show that parodies many of the nuance of race and culture in America.
The story of Prince was told by fellow co-star, Charlie Murphy in the Chappelle’s version of True Hollywood Stories, telling the audience of their experience playing basketball with Prince and his posse with much humour added in.
We love Prince even more now for keeping it funny and real.
Chappelle’s Show ran for 3 seasons from 2003-2006 in USA with lots of laughter inducing moments. Its not all laugh and giggles as Dave also includes guests stars such as comedian Paul Mooney, singer John Mayer, rapper Kanye West, Q-Tip, Common, De La Soul and many more. However, the series ran for two complete seasons, leaving the third season’s production abruptly as Chappelle left the show.
