Ironically, Prince always had an issue paying people correctly, especially Sheila. It was money that finally separated them as business partners in the mid-aughts, and she made a grand announcement on Twitter (or FB?) that she would no longer ever be working with Prince. And she didn't.

I don't know the answer to the other questions, but I think BET stands for Black Entertainment Television
