I know he played the music I think in some concerts in the 2000's maybe the 2010's. But he quit sanging the lyrics way before that. I ask because if he was alive today he probably would not like these people singing this song with the lyrics from what I gather with his transformation?

Matter of fact I remember he did some interview and he was talking about he was ashamed of some his early years stuff.

Because this person: https://www.facebook.com/...yansturner was talking about the crowd Singing along to Darling Niki and somebody doing a lap dance at this Prince Tribute Saturday, August 21 @ 9pm - 1999: The Legacy of Prince and The Little Red Corvettes. https://www.facebook.com/...cyOfPrince

He last sang it on the 2000 Celebration tour and only played clips of it as part of his sampler sets later on, beginning in 2007.

Interesting then... 16 years before he past. He layed it to rest for 16 years
