I'm grateful I was a teenager in the 80s because had I come of age in the 90s vomit-inducing songs like this one might have prevented me from becoming a Stones fan.

A good 'un, Voodoo sure does have quite a lot of quality tunes on it.
Absolute favourites from it have always been Moon is Up, Love is Strong, The Worst, New Faces, Sparks Will Fly. The album coda of Baby Break it Down, Thru and Thru and Mean Disposition is pretty great too.
The sleazy groovy Brand New Car, You got me Rocking - Voodoo is well worth revisiting.

I read somewhere the song is about Kurt Cobain. True?

it sounds as if it belongs on buttons or aftermath, never a classic but interesting song from an interesting album

Jagger isn't singing about a rival, He's singing about a young man taking his daughter away.And he realises that in the long run,it serves him right. He describes the young man in ways that resemble his younger self, having it off with people's lovely young daughters. Now he's the protective father figure. A neat little song about how your perspective changes with time. What goes around, comes around.
As he says, the younger man is 'paying the devil his due.'

That's how I interpreted it as well.

Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon have some great songs.
