The Fish and the Purple One.

The trailer for Pixar's Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory, dropped today, but not everyone seems to be looking forward to the film. In response to the Dory trailer, Questlove tweeted about a time he was fired from a DJ gig by the Purple One himself. According to Questlove, Prince axed him before his set and instead played a Finding Nemo DVD. Sounds like a lovely evening for everyone (but Questlove)!

. @Prince3EG once fired me from a dj gig in a nightclub & instead blasted the #FindingNemo dvd on the screen. #EffThatFish #FindingDory
