I think it's too short and too little to call it a riff quote. Like bozojones said, my guess also is that it's just coincidal. Prince's songs are filled with re-use of short picks from his own songs. Especially with horn arrangements. "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts." (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) |

You're likely right that it's a coincidental similarity rather than a direct reference. Melodies can sometimes bear a resemblance to others without being intentionally linked, especially in the realm of popular music where certain melodic phrases and chord progressions are common.
