MJ was

The only thing I can think of was that kid who got run over queing for a Prince concert ticket and the kid who got his camera confiscated by a Prince bodyguard

hey, come to think of it all Prince's scandals involved Kids...he, and MJ do have something in common afterall.. smile

Funny thing is that to this day very people mention he did give a song to the album. There is a video as well I think

the video only aired once during Live AID, but people didn't care about his song, no one heard it or talked about it, they only were only really aware of the "We Are The World" hit single and video, which they were told, Prince refused to be in ... so it became a scandal that led to a lot of backlash after the success of Purple Rain.

People (erroneously) thought Prince was not only uncharitable, but also violently self important. (violently because of photographers getting roughed up).

I googled 'Prince Scandal Purple'


This is the closest he's been 2 a scandal apparently



Prince's purple paint problem
22nd March 2006 12:20:05

Prince was slapped with a lawsuit - for painting his rented mansion with bright purple stripes.

The 80s superstar reportedly customised the

£40,000-a-month Hollywood home by covering it with purple lines and his personalised 'Prince' symbol.

He was also accused of daubing '3121', the title of his new album, on the house and installing a monogrammed carpet - also in his beloved purple - in the master bedroom.

His landlord, NBA star Carlos Boozer, lodged a lawsuit against the singer in January.

But the star's lawyers insisted Boozer had collected his rent without complaining about the colourful additions.




Boy, Prince sho' nuff knows how 2 keep his bizniz on da down-low smoker

That was a scandal -- but not on Prince's part.

Authorities in Minnesota held an inquest into the child's death (which implies wrongdoing), dragged it out for eight months or so, then quietly acknowledged that the baby had died of natural causes.

I cannot even imagine how awful that must have been for him and Mayte.

the whole "we are the world/bodyguard" fiasco created a negative image that is still in the minds of many mainstream adults that were aware back in the 80's (even if they don't remember why, they have this vibe of Prince being a selfish arrogant recluse)... other than that, I can't think anything that has affected him the way a scandal does.
