Who actually wrote this song. Prince or Dez? OR did Dez inspire Prince to write this song?

I had read somewhere that Dez wrote WYWM..Would like to confirm if this is true or not. I do know he has his own version of WYWM. Just wondering what the deal is.

Now if he actually wrote this and all these other artist have recorded it don't you think he would have asked for a byline or some compensation after all these years.
