And speaking of icons:
Dave Chappelle doesn't do many interviews. But with a three-part Netflix special, he broke his reticence to talk about Prince.
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Chappelle said his friendship with Prince had his beginnings when his sister went to a concert.
Chappelle had it all when he chucked it and fled to South Africa in 2005.
"But Chappelle's Show's like breakin' up with a girl and you still like her. But in your mind you're like, 'That b**** is crazy. I'm not goin' back,'" Chappelle said. "Fame is a horrifying concept when it's aimed at you, you know? At the end of the day ... you don't have that much control over it. You just try to conduct yourself as best you can."
