This is a little rant, but recently I’ve been seeing a lot of disrespect toward Prince on TikTok, especially from people constantly comparing him to MJ. It feels like some people have a “this artist is better than that artist” mindset.

Examples:

Before the movie came out, I rarely saw this kind of behavior on my Prince posts. Now it seems like every time I post something, there’s someone trying to start a debate.

If Prince isn’t your thing, that’s fine. Nobody is forcing you to like him. But if you don’t like him, why not just scroll?

I also think a lot of people still believe Prince and Michael Jackson hated each other, which isn’t true. They had a rivalry, but there was also respect there. They were two incredibly talented artists who pushed each other creatively!

I had to get this off my chest REAL BAD especially ever since I posted that video.
