Questlove to Billboard Music Awards Prince Tribute Detractors: 'Let’s Not Get Ugly'
BET has already come for Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards–closing Prince tribute, and now Questlove has stepped up to try and balance the conversation.
An hour after the show ended, The Roots' drummer hopped on Twitter to chat with his 3.65 million followers. In a string of tweets, he spoke about the many sides of grieving and why Madonna and Stevie Wonder's performance of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and "Purple Rain" was welcome.
