“That was such a fun but nerve-wracking scene. Craig [Brewer, the film’s director] said, ‘Hey, look, I got this idea where you’re gonna rap ‘Gett Off’ by Prince.’ I said, what’s ‘Gett Off’? I’d heard almost everything but I’d never heard that. And he was like, ‘You’ve never heard of ‘Gett Off’?’ I think it was right there that I lost Craig’s respect,” added the comedian.
“So I downloaded the song and I was like, ‘Oh s—, Prince is rapping. What the f—?’ I had no idea that Prince had bars. I didn’t know Prince could spit.’ But of course he can, he’s f——g Prince!”
Fowler revealed further in the interview that a lot of the movie was improved because so may comedians starred in the film. Coming 2 America is currently streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime.
