Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Questlove has a public service announcement for you and your Madonna/Prince Tribute shade: Put it aside.

The Roots drummer launched a series of tweets late Sunday night following Madonna’s tribute to the fallen legend at the Billboard Music Awards.

Some felt the pop star’s performance wasn’t up to the Purple One’s standard.  BET’s shade stood out, with the cable channel tweeting a veiled shot at Madonna’s performance:

 

“Yeah, we saw that. Don’t worry. We got you.”

Ouch.

Questlove defended Madonna and other artists’ ‘right’ to tribute Prince because — well, everyone will fall short of capturing Prince’s spirit.

To put it more frank, the drummer said every Prince rendition will *not* be an “orgasmic experience.”
