Madonna bumbled out a travesty of a tribute to Prince, but Sheila E. was not qualified to come onstage?!?
The people who planned the Prince tribute must have been wearing Mickey Mouse ears.
That performance at the Billboard Music Awards 2016 was a dumpster fire and an abandoned outhouse combined.
For some reason, the “sharp” pencils who produced this awards show thought that none of the people who performed and produced chart-topping hits with Prince over the years were not relevant enough for the audience to give a proper send-off to one of the greatest artists of all time.

Please, BET Awards, make sure you mop up behind Madonna, who crapped onstage in her efforts and stumbled through her performance. Who thought this was a great idea? Sheena Easton, Apollonia, the New Power Generation, the Revolution and, most of all, Lisa and Wendy, could not have done worse. In fact, each one of them would have done Prince supreme justice.
All they did was desecrate the memory of Prince, and many of the fans watching were outraged. Take a look at how they express their rage and shock at the Prince tribute:

As an artist, surely there are times when you have to raise your hand and say “Thanks for the offer. I’m not right for this” #Madonna #BBMAs

Sheila E should've done the #PrinceTribute with her amazing drumming. #Madonna's attempt…unimpressive ? #BBMAs

Why would they let #Madonna disgrace the #PrinceTribute like that? That was nothing less than horrific.
