Michael Jackson Thought Prince Was a ‘Meanie’ After Bizarre Encounter
Michael Jackson and Prince were two of the most iconic musicians of the 1980s, but their relationship was complicated. In a recent interview, Will.i.am recalled a bizarre encounter between the two musicians in 2006.
Michael was in the audience at Prince’s residency in Las Vegas when Prince stepped off the stage and began playing the bass in the singer’s face. The next morning, Will.i.am met with Jackson, who was still upset about the incident and referred to Prince as “a meanie.”
The two musicians had a long history of rivalry and tension, with Prince reportedly turning down multiple opportunities to collaborate with Jackson. Despite their complicated relationship, both musicians are widely regarded as two of the greatest artists of all time.
