Is Questlove questing for a feud?

In a Watch What Happens interview with Bravo's Andy Cohen, the Roots artist called out Prince for not crediting him for some drumming he did on one of the star's live albums. "It's not a call-the-lawyers [thing]," Questlove insisted in response to the audience's collective "ooooh."

And, don't tell Jimmy Fallon, but Questlove also has a wee bone to pick with the Late Night host's good pal, Tina Fey!

"Tina Fey, you are never nice to the Roots!" Questlove protested. "We're from Philadelphia. You're never nice to the Roots!"

When Cohen encouraged him to explain, he continued, "I just don't know. Fellow Philadelphians—we bond with each other, and it's been hard trying to bond with her."

But while we will eagerly be scanning Fallon's guest line-up for Fey's now very eagerly awaited return to the show, Questlove already felt the need to assure fans that he doesn't really have a beef with Mrs. Bossypants.

"Oh god," he tweeted today. "The Fey stuff was JOKES. not newsworthy. i friggin love her."

Meanwhile, the jury remains out on his true feelings about Prince.
