As artists continue to share their thoughts and memories of Prince, Erykah Badu has posted her memories with the artist as a tribute to how amazing he was.
Franks Ocean Pens Tribute to Prince
The singer-songwriter posted a photo to Facebook of Prince playing rhythm guitar for her at a club in Dallas and the note he sent her after the gig. Badu wrote,
“That time Prince was your rhythm guitarist then sent you the picture.
The time Prince was so gracious to come to your club in the hood of South Dallas and play for 4 hours into the night…”
She continued with memories of the two having friendly arguments about religion; the time her mother embarrassed her in front of him; and the time Prince told her he had a swear jar and that she should just “put a 20 dollar bill in it when you walk in.”
