Prince just broke the internet with a resurfaced clip that proves why he will always be the king of cool.
The legendary superstar completely flipped the script during a 2004 interview. He didn’t just answer questions because he decided to become the boss of the entire room.
It was pure comedy gold.
When the TV reporter asked him to play a song, Prince refused unless she sang with him. The nervous host tried to play it safe by asking for his biggest hit, “Purple Rain.”
“I don’t know that one,” Prince replied with a perfectly straight face.
Was he just joking or was he secretly flirting with her?

Fans are losing their minds over his dry humor and smooth confidence. When the reporter still refused to sing, the superstar looked her right in the eyes and actually made a chicken noise!
