Here's what he said, after Fallon said, "You made Minneapolis turn purple and had the Prince symbol on it.":

"He's a...it's a moment for me, if I'm being quite honest, because he's always been the pinnacle of musicianship for me and when we decided that like the serendipity and synergy that we would be in Minneapolis and that, you know, he's such a special thing here, aside from what he is all over the world, I just felt like i wanted to do something for this city and something for him that would just be the ultimate homage to what I consider the g.o.a.t. of musicians. And also, like, I'm not going to lie to you guys, because Questlove is the encyclopedia on music but also like, the, I feel like a gatekeeper on Prince, so, like, if I got the thumbs up from Quest, I'm good....I just wanted to use that opportunity to do something special for this city, but most of all, for my favorite musician of all time."
