Actually, it's been said that Keanu's a little worse. They wanted Prince for his brilliant role as the Kid in little-known cult classic Graffitti Bridge.

Is this true? Was he supposed to be in the Matrix? If so, which? Was it the first?...that's the only one that counts.

This is Prince's only public reference to The Matrix...During an acceptance speech at the YAHOO internet awards when he picked up a gong for "The War":

"Don't be fooled by the internet.
It's cool to get on the computer but don't let the computer get on you...we all saw The Matrix" lol

I remember reading a few print interviews where he brought it up in relation to the industry. Man, once he gets an idea into his head, he doesn't let it go. lol

And then there's the story of when Lawrence Fishburn went on, I think it was The Tonight Show" and Jay Leno was asking him about Prince. Lawrence F. said that he and Prince were friends and that because Lawrence F. wouldn't tell him anything about The Matrix sequels Prince sat him WAY UP HIGH for one of his shows

The NPG Matrix: Prince World

Young nubile Mayte is a normal high school student. Mysterious black dude Princeus is determined to "free her mind." He speaks in clipped, cryptic intonations, annoying the fuck out of everyone around him. He insists she is "The One" and they must prepare for "The Emancipation." On their first meeting, he offers her a red pill and a purple pill. Later he introduces her to his wacky cronies and she begins her training as The One.

Evil Agent Kevin Smith is hot on Princeus's tracks, determined to foil the Revolution and ascertain the location of the super secret NPG hideout, Prince World. Agent Kevin is a Matrix construct and is everywhere and nowhere.

Meanwhile Mayte meets the Oracle, Mavis Staples, to learn how to deal with the weird shenanigans of Princeus.

The finale: Epic confrontation between Princeus and Agent Kevin. Princeus is on the ropes, about the die, but Agent Kevin runs out of film! Mayte swoops in and does a little shimmy, as Princeus enters Agent Kevin's body and shatters him from within.

Last frame: Mayte is free now. She hangs up a phone in the street and zooms into the sky, where Tommy Lee is waiting for her.

The End.
