D’Angelo Admits While Touring, Some Attention From Women Became Annoying: I felt like a male stripper. [VIDEO]

He states:

Well, in particular, let’s talk about ‘Untitled,’ because that was the one that kind of took it there. It was all good. I think a lot has been made about me reacting to, or me being negative to the reaction of that video. And it really wasn’t that. Too big of a deal has been made out of that.

He adds that at times, the attention got annoying,

A lot of times live when we were touring for ‘Voodoo’ and I had this amazing band, the Soultronics. Questlove was the drummer, [bassist] Pino [Palladino], of course I had the incomparable Roy Hargrove on trumpet, Frank Lacy on trombone. Just this outstanding band, and we were doing some amazing stuff musically. And a lot of times the crowd — or a lot of the ladies were just screaming, ‘Take it off!’ And I kind of felt like, for lack of a better thing, a male stripper, you know? Or I [was] expected to be that, you know what I mean?

In the clip below, D’Angelo shares how the video for his hit song “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” from his previous album, Voodoo, changed the course of his life and career.
