Sinead needed to be understood. She was speaking a truth that, at the time, we could not understand (Catholic Church/Sexual Abuse). My relatives knew him in high school, and Prince was always described as "different." When you are poor, you are weird; when you are rich, you are eccentric. When I met him at Glam Slam years ago, he had approached me, and he was always the perfect gentleman whenever I saw him. In Minneapolis, good, bad, or indifferent, we love our PRINCE, and that's all.

I beg to differ on Trent Reznor. If you really look into it that man is extremely talented. His "Band" was mostly him on the studio, and just needed to hire a band for live stuff, which I've seen in person, and it was amazing. He is classically trained on piano, and when Johnny Cash coverers one of your songs, you know you are doing something correct! Even Prince realized Reznor had talent, asking him to remix for him. I believe Trent Reznor is a musical genius as well. That being said, Prince is a musical genius, yes. And I am a HUGE HUGE Prince fan. I am actually kind of sad that that meeting between them went sour. They are both musical Gods as far as I am concerned, and I am super disappointed they didn't get along.

Who are jealous. And there’s also indications that this happened at us at a recording studio just by watching and hearing a few stories you get the idea that there might’ve been not only jealousy but a lot of politics. In the mid 80s after the success of purple rain, he expressed an admiration for then President Reagan. That’s when the troubles began that the flashpoint. It wasn’t we are the world. He became so intolerable that it big part of the reason why he created his own records to move back at home is supposed to escape that kind of environment. That unverified entirely, in fairness From those times just in terms of recording song, creation, etc. studio use down to receipts. To the receipts and paperwork. Anyways, there might’ve been also, and this is typical because I work in the creator field undertones of ism and of doubting or suppressing people of color of which can do the job betterof which are believed not to do that work that well. Those are the bigger more pressing issues that seem to persist, hypocritically. But if I think if you’re smart fair and you learn to develop that acuity, just like Prince you can defeat it.

I was a huge Prince fan as a youngin. I had most of his albums and attended four or five of his concerts. He was the consummate performer, but I heard he could be a jerk at times. In fact, me and my little brother were dropped off ( by my mom) at Cobo Hall for the Rick James, Prince concert. After the show, (which both artists turned out) we snuck backstage to find Prince and his band had wrecked their Green room area ( turned over tables, food thrown everywhere) and left the building. Over on Rick’s side, it was a chilled atmosphere. There was music, food and “too cool for school” VIP’s. I found the contrast interesting, cause even though Rick had a reputation for being wild, Prince ( younger and less seasoned) was much more rowdy.

I went over to where it was looking at my dog all along, (he is a toy breed). I saw his toy on a high heel boot, looked up and it was Prince, I knew he liked his privacy and said Oh, I'm sorry about that, he laughed and said to the dog, it's okay, I have to go on stage now, then he smiled at me and said he (my dog) thinks Prince is a dogs name.

Prince couldn't care less. Rick James was stone cold jealous of Prince along with Boy George, who lied 🤥 that he slept with Prince before admitting he lied. Prince was just different and could be difficult. But I NEVER heard Prince speak negatively about Rick James or any other hater. Prince bought joy in my life through his music that is still being released today. With that said, Prince loved his Blackness and song about it quite often. MJ and Prince had nothing but love and respect since 1979 when they both were in California recording at the same time and hanging out. So, STOP pretending otherwise.

[@pensiveczar2239]

Cut the BS. Michael Jackson and Prince were never close and at best only maintained a distant/fragile amiability. They reluctantly acknowledged each other as peers, but they did not socialize or form a friendship, tended to be threatened by each other, and usually resented being compared. Some people simply find it hard to choose between the two, so they try to pretend that they were friends or had some kind of deep respect. They weren't and they didn't.

[@kenzelcold1636]

@pensiveczar2239 You cut BS!😡With your very limited knowledge of Prince and Michael. They have socialized, and Michael have attended a Prince concert. In 79, Quincy Jones was producing the "Off The Wall" album for Michael and Prince was just 30 miles away in Beverly Hills, recording his debut album "Prince" and they would pick Prince up with the Jacksons and go skating. Michael has been to Paisley Park, where they played ping pong. Prince spent four days locked in his bedroom because he felt that bad about Michael's passing.

It find it strange that Prince refused to appear in Michael Jackson's Bad video because of the lyrics "Your butt is mine," but a few years later when Prince come out on stage to perform his song Get Off, Prince lies face down on the stage and a male dancer mounts him while Prince pretends to be in pain.

[@ellepayne6020]

I don’t think it was ever about the butt 😅 MJ wanted to duet the song with Prince but he wasn’t down for that. He had always worked alone tho. He had a very strong idea on what he wanted to create & having to discuss these ideas or look for input from others would have just slowed him down. He wasn’t a great communicator at the best of times with anyone. Even the engineers in the studio with him got minimal feedback. He could write & play everything, sing & produce whole albums on his own. This is also the reason why he declined to be involved in the ‘feed the world’ circus offering a guitar solo instead. Worth noting that at the time of MJs death Prince was rehearsing at the Montreux jazz festival. When he heard he’d passed he sent his band home and stayed in his hotel room for 3 days. He then came out and did a blistering performance of Empty Room. There was some rivalry between them but I think secretly they did have a lot of respect each other 😊

[@nunyabusiness-sv7re]

@@ellepayne6020He specifically said in an interview with Chris Rock that he had a problem with that first line and that he backed out of the project because of it, his problem was definitely about the butt.

[@vincentchurchill2272]

@@nunyabusiness-sv7re You need to rewatch that interview because it wasn't about butts in a sexual way. Prince stated that "Your butt is mine" is slang for "I own you or I have control over you".

Camille was not female. It was supposed to be a surprise album buy a “long lost cousin” to confuse the public and have some fun and then return to his black funk rock roots. It actually turned out to be sort of a symbolic of negative ego driven creative work at the time, including a response to the environment, of which she was recording, mostly of which was at Sunset sound Studios. It was an altar eagle, but it was representative. Another side of him to escape the trappings of the music. He was let Wendy take over. It’s just one big so please you know don’t spread that. It’s not a female alter ego and I’ll throw eagles correct but not female. Does it sound like a female? It sounds like sped up, which is a tribute to one of his heroes. Allegedly also a jab at Michael Jackson’s name and higher pitched voice vocals.
