Robbie was pissed off at Prince when they both appeared on an episode of Top Of The Pops. Prince wanted most of the back stage area to himself and Robbie was less than happy about it.
Robbie also said Prince deserved a kicking 'like it's 1999'

LMAO!!

Uncut Magazine June 2005, Cover Feature about Stevie Wonder.

About Stevie's music in the '80s:

It didn't help that in the '80s a new maverick superstar stole up on Wonder, trouncing him at his own game. Like Stevie, Prince was a polymorphous jack-of-all-trades, playing every instrument himself.
"I knew that was a form that Prince took but I didn't say,'Oh, he's doing it like me', Wonder allows."I liked the stuff that he did, and felt it was daring. It reminded me of Marvin Gaye, though Marvin was maybe a litle more abstract with how he said it."

Prince is one of several guests on A Time 2 Love. The diminutive one stopped by Wonderland to add funky guitar to 'So What The Fuss', the album's first single.
"Prince is a very nice man, and I know him more personally now than some years ago," Stevie says of the Purple One. "I always saw him being exactly where he is right now spiritually."


Nice to know my idols respect eachother.

Don´t forget Missy Elliot
