Do ya'll think Drake's RIP post for Prince was disrespectful?

[Drew Wonder]

A lot of older Prince fans are angry in the comments, asking him why he chose this of all the possible pics to post.

On the one hand its good that Drake is showing his younger fans that Prince was a rock star and that despite his suspect attire he smashed plenty of women

On the other hand, once Prince became a Jehovah's Witness, he moved away from the explicit, sexual nature of his earlier work, so I could understand why some people would think using this of all photos for an RIP post was disrespectful

What do ya'll think?

I don't think it's disrespectful, he probably wasn't thinking about it that deep, would be disrespectful if his family asked him to remove it and he refused but otherwise not really...

Drake wasn't the first or last person i seen use that yesterday on instagram



if someone wants to do the whole feel faux disrespect over it then i'm sure they be quick to let us know.

Hell no. Prince was THAT dude.

 

[puppetmaster]

Nah, I don't think so


if Prince's people reach out like chill that's one thing. But the man has been famous since the 70's. That's a lotta eras and incarnations to celebrate

exactly, I seen countless celebs use this same exact picture showing their respects but soon as drake uses it it's a big problem

Its disrespectful, I feel that the dead should be respected in the same manner as if they were alive. Its well known that Prince put that lifestyle away in his past, so don't honor him with images that will have him turn in his grave.

Also I don't think Drake means any harm about it.

What was disrespectful about it? Prince is known for being with fine women and making music that people make love to. If that's Drake's memory, that is his memory. You cant get mad at Drake posting an image that Prince's camp put out there.

People should be getting on Justin Timberlake for dissing the fukk out of Prince a few years ago then doing a half assed 'RIP' if you ask me....

His only blood family is his sister.

Its like celebrating M. X death with images of his life before he became the man that he eventually became to be.
