> The general hypocrisy / idiocy of Prince

Strictly speaking, Prince featuring an image of Dave Chapelle in parody of him on the cover of a single is neither hypocrisy nor idiocy. It is fundamentally one of many examples of self-parody, which is common among artists. While judgement as idiocy is highly subjective, Prince obviously put thought into what is far more accurately described as clever, but I don't see how it could in any way be hypocritical.

I personally think it's hilarious and wonderful, if I were Dave I wouldn't see any reason to sue. It's honestly a great move
