Spike thanked Prince in the credits and the other 3 movies used his music. He did not appear in any of them.

As Lovemachine says, Spike Lee thanks Prince in the credits for Malcolm X.

I can't trace the previous thread that covered this, but a look at the credits shows that Spike Lee thanked a number of people ("Thank Allah", "Thank Jesus").

Tracy Chapman
Peggy Cooper-Cafritz
Bill Cosby
Aretha Franklin
Janet Jackson
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Prince
Oprah Winfrey

The project apparently required extra funding to see its way through to completion, and these people are supposed to have stepped up to the plate when Spike Lee turned to them for support.
