Apollonia 6 was also a 1980’s female singing trio created by Prince.
Also, in The Godfather, Michael Corleone (the “prince” of the family) fell in love with Apollonia Vitelli in Italy. Maybe that’s where Prince got his idea for the girl in his video. Or maybe Kanye’s just smarter than all of us and pulled out this slick double-reference.
