The inspiration behind "Billy Jack Bitch"

OK, so we know that the song is about CJ, a writer for the Minneapolis Star who has a reputation for bagging Prince (or "Symbolina" as she often refers to him lol).

BUT...

Does anyone know the exact article that may have set him off? How long had she been bagging Prince before the song came out? I'd love to know exactly what she said that caused him to write such a funk-nasty song!!

I thought it was something about her criticising him for describing his baby's birth as "amazing", and he was like "Go look it up in a dictionary." And something about karma.....I don't remember where i read that tho.

Well, that might be one little fued between them, but it can't be the original one because "Billy Jack Bitch" was released in 1995. Prince's child was born in 1996.

Just checked the book. The only mention of her is when talking about the name change she started calling him "Symbolina". But I already knew that. I'm talking about the precise article that started it off.
