This is about Prince's Guitar Named Hababi? I didn't know that retarded angel was that cool. Guess we learn something new daily.  News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

His guitar IS named Habibi AND there is a song called Habibi, which is Prince's version of Machine Gun, very jammy. | |

Habibi is probably the most commonly used word in Arabic songs and does indeed mean "my love" or "beloved". It's used sort of like "baby" in English. Unlike English however, Arabic is not a gender neutral language and Habibi actually is the masculine reference. The intersting part though is that traditionally all songs and poetry were in the masculine whether written/performed by a male or female artist. Even today it is very rare to find a song using "habibti", the female reference. | |
