Ginuwine, because Prince hated his version of When Doves Cry.

Dru Hill, because Prince thought Mariah's version of The Beautiful Ones would have been better without Sisqo on co-lead vocal or Dru Hill on backing vocals.

Morris Day, because Prince hated The Oak Tree (the song AND the dance!). lol

Maroon 5 covered KISS

Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman

Foo Failures: Dave Grohl details Prince and David Bowie collaboration snubs

With Prince, Grohl’s plans were rejected with even less fanfare. They met backstage in 2011, after the Purple One performed at the Los Angeles forum. Prince apparently suggested that they could “jam” together at a show the following Friday. “I waited for [Prince] to call all week, [and] he never called,” Grohl said. The Foo Fighter showed up anyway, and they ended up playing together at soundcheck - Grohl on drums, Prince on bass. “[He’s] shred[ding] the bass like I’ve never seen anyone play it ... Then we start playing [Led Zeppelin’s] Whole Lotta Love.” To Grohl, the jam seemed “amazing”. But Prince “didn’t want to do it” as part of that night’s show. “He goes, ‘What are you doing next week?’ And then I never saw him again.” This was apparently Prince’s way “of blowing me off”.

That quote comes from Liz Jones' book Slave 2 the Rhythm.

Not sure if it's true, but in his autobiography Brian Wilson said that apparently Prince was cold towards him. I think Brian was a WB artist at the time, so it's possible a meeting could have taken place.

Wlton said the same thing then Elton sobered up and realized that P doesnt suffer drunken fools no matter who u are.. Ahd Steven Tyler removed from baxkstage at coachella for being 3 sheets to the wind

There was a interview that P did (in the late 90's) and he was talking about the current state of music. He said something to the effect that "this is not the direction I want to see music go in" and held up a music magazine with Kid Rock on the cover.

Glad that hip metal fad lasted only a minute.

"He can still play the cocky rocker. "I don't go to awards shows anymore," he says. "I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else. But you'll be sitting there at the Grammys, and U2 will beat you. And you say to yourself, 'Wait a minute. I can play that kind of music, too. I played La Crosse [Wisconsin] growing up, I know how to do that, you dig? But you will not do 'Housequake.'"

Source Rolling Stone 1990.
