Timberlake — who is no slouch in the music department himself — posted moving words about his personal experiences with Prince on social media.
“It was Raspberry Beret. I was 4 years old. Yes, 4. I remember that I instantly loved it. ‘Mommy, who is that singing?’ Seems weird but it’s true,” Timberlake wrote.
“They say don’t meet your idols… That they let you down,” he continued. “But, some of my greatest, funniest (yes, he was hilarious), and most prolific encounters and conversations about music came from the moments that I spent with him. It would be silly to say that he has inspired our music… It’s beyond that. He’s somewhere within every song I’ve ever written.”

“To honor the life and career of musical icon Prince, MTV will change its logo to purple for the entire day and MTV and MTV2 will air a dedicated block of his most influential music videos,” MTV told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.
MTV also aired the Purple Rain movie on Thursday night and Friday morning, with more Prince videos playing in between.
