Did Stacey Dash Diminish Prince’s Full Impact as a Black Artist With This Statement?

After the sudden death of Prince today, Fox News contributor Stacey Dash gave a eulogy to The Purple One.

The “Clueless” actress seemed to be mournful as she declared on the conservative news station that she was “in shock.” She added that Prince “was so innovative and you didn’t look at him as a Black artist or… an artist of any color. He was just Prince.”

Dash smiled as she recounted the time she sneaked into New York’s Cat Club as a teenager to watch him perform.

“I didn’t realize how small he was but, I mean, he might have been small in height but his persona was… filled the entire room.”

She wraps by saying that what she loved about him was that the Minneapolis native was “who he wanted to be.”
