Pop superstar Prince showed his appreciation for his young collaborator Janelle Monae kwa sending a imba telegram and flowers to her dressing room at a hivi karibuni gig.
The Purple Rain hitmaker collaborated with soul nyota Monae on a track for her new album The Electric Lady and he celebrated the record's release this mwezi (Sep13) kwa arranging a special surprise for the singer.
In video footage filmed for a Revolt Tv documentary, Monae is seen looking shocked to find a young man in her dressing room holding a card and flowers and imba to her.
The messenger was reciting Prince's hit Kiss, which had been re-written as a personal tribute to Monae, but she didn't realise the significance of the imba telegram until she asked him, "So where did wewe come from?"
He replied, "I came from Big apple imba Telegrams and this is from Prince" before handing her the card featuring the star's personalised message. She gasped with delight before saying, "Oh my God. Prince sent wewe here? Are wewe f**king kidding me? Oh my God... Prince sent wewe here! He wrote this too?... Wow this is a message from Prince."
Monae then read out the song lyrics: "You don't have to be Janelle Monae to be electric, wewe just need to keep your dignity. When your life gets hectic, wewe don't need experience to get some clout, wewe don't need Marafiki like Prince to onyesha wewe what it's all about. wewe don't have to be rich to be Monae, wewe don't have to be a witch with a ufagio of hay. There ain't no particular rhyme that wewe need to say, wewe just need a copy of Janelle's Electric Lady."
She added, "Wow. Thank wewe Prince.Thank wewe so much. I just want to cry... I just really want to cry right now. This is too much for me to handle."
