In hindsight, Prince Akeem was sort of a simp.
- He put like 10k in the Black Awareness rally fundraiser because of a chick he didn't get to speak to yet.
- He disgraces himself and his servant by working at a bootleg McDonald's just to get close to Lisa.
- He buys Lisa a $500,000 pair of earrings before they even go on a date.
Now, Lisa wasn't the type of girl that cared about that stuff, BUT Akeem didn't know that. His first instinct was to spend money on her.
So basically he was a simp who got lucky.
