Why did Prince turn down Bob Dylan?

why did prince turn down micheal jackson that was in the eighties when mj
was a big hit every time somebody would buy a mj bad album they would also be paying him and many more people love mj than prince which means that if they did a duo they would be richer than they are now i think prince made a really dumb decision on that matter

but i did hear that prince said that he was not going to allow mj to say
" your butt is mine " to him

Why did Prince turn down MJ? I love MJ, but the man claiming he is "bad" and then being the most harmless girly thing out there was laughable. Hell, Madonna was tougher. When I was a kid it was fine, but looking back at that video it makes me chuckle. Like Snipes and crew is gonna sweat MJ now that he is in a black jumpsuit, full of buckles, backed with a gay dance troupe. The whole thing was just really "hollywood" and phoney. No one really ever thought MJ was "bad"-Prince probably didn't either.

What could be more sissy and unintentionally funny that MJ running around with pro dancers trying to be "Street"? Prince in the mix telling MJ who's butt is whose. It wasn't about the money it was about self diginity and authenticity.

I don't think he was gonna work with Dylan or Vaughn, they just wanted to meet him and he ignored them. Same goes with Elton John, except Prince supposedly laughed in his face
