The Weeknd shouts-out Prince and Darling Nikki licensed in HBO Max's "The Idol"... Ugh

Wish they would have left his name and the song out of this turd. Don't bother. Watch Showgirls instead.

It's a HBO (WB) show so i think WB is the one here who licensed it being a Purple Rain album song and all. They also did this with The Sopranos and probably more HBO shows.

That makes sense. Either way it was cringey hearing his name and music in this turd.

What does The Idol have to do with the Prince estate? NOTHING.

Shouts out? More like plastered. Pictures. Mentioned several times and Darling Nikki at ending credits. Given the content of the series it makes me squirmy but I have already braced for this stuff.
