The artist formerly known as the artist nobody knew was into sports. Aside from that hilarious Chappelle's Show skit where Dave Chappelle (as Prince) clowns Charlie Murphy in a game of basketball while wearing heels. Prince has rarely been seen at sporting events. But that's changed, the "Darling Nikki" singer just got a bad case of "Purple Fever".

Check out the songs lyrics and a snippet of it in the video below
Purple and Gold Lyricsthe veil of the sky draws open
the roar of the chariots touch down
we r the ones who have now come again
and walk upon water like solid ground
as we approach the throne we won't bow down
this time we won't b denied
raise every voice and let it b known
in the name of the purple and gold
we come in the name of the purple and gold
all of the odds r in r favor
no prediction 2 bold
we r the truth if the truth can b told
long reign the purple and gold
the eyes say ready 4 battle
no need 4 sword in hand
we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
ready 2 celebrate every score
ready 2 fight the elegant war
ready 2 hear the crowd roar
that's what we came 4
and so much more
in the name of the purple and gold
r spirits may b tired
r bodies may b worn
but since this day is r destiny
r history – that's y we must b
4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings' horn
in the name of the purple and gold
CHORUS"Purple and Gold" fight song by Prince
