Cool Prince Easter egg in awesome movie “40 year old version”

EDIT: Don’t scroll through the replies if you want to enjoy the movie and come across it yourself because, you know. Bart!

Check this great comedy movie out on Netflix. There’s a great Princely homage that will only be noticed by hardcore fans and is very obvious. No spoilers please if you know it or watch and notice it. Either way, a great movie.

A down-on-her-luck playwright thinks the only way she can salvage her voice as an artist is to become a rapper at 40.
Initial release: 25 January 2020
Director: Radha Blank

Well why not just post "spoiler" and tell us about it. I'm certainly not going to dig through the movie just to find it.

NI agree. Just tell us.
Then we can decide if we want to watch.

It was fun to play with influences. I don’t know if a lot of people are going to catch them. There’s a scene where Radha’s student and their friends are taunting Radha after her debacle at the hip hop club. That’s a reference from Purple Rain, the scene where The Kid [Prince]’s father shot himself, and Morris Day and the Time peek in the door and say, ‘How’s the family?’ This movie gave me a chance to celebrate what I loved about some of my favorite films. I’m fine that a lot of people don’t catch it, but some die hard Prince fans did. As hard as it was…the film damn near killed me and I’m still recovering, things like that made my job fun.
