Prince Rogers Nelson, known to mere mortals as Prince, is being sued by a man who claims the Purple One took 12 AVID hard drives and never paid for them. When nerds cry!
Prince
In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Ian Lewis claims that Prince, named as a defendant (along with his record label and fan club website), took 12 AVID IS Sesi Shuttle Drives worth $12,000, alleging that Prince and his people never had any intention of returning them or paying for them.

In addition, Lewis claims that a $25,000 computer, which was also loaned to Prince, was returned by his people "in a broken and un-fixable condition." Computer blue!

Lewis is seeking damages to be determined at trial and exemplary damages in the amount of $1,000,000. Calls to Prince's reps were not immediately returned.

he probably smashed it up in a rage after reading the org

that, or put it under his bike and rolled over it

Or possibly he flipped out and attacked it when the spelling/grammar check kept underlining all his '2s' and 'Us' and 'eyes'!

Karma, perhaps?

Well, it's less creepy than the new Orville Redinbacher(sp?) popcorn commercial David Fincher directed.

If the guys story is true, I hope Prince didn't know it was going on.
That's the guys livelihood. Someone in house, needs to be dealt with and someone needs an apology, as well as damages paid.

My first thought as well. It's a bitch, ain't it?

lifes a B**** when you mess with prince. thats what you get for being a fan. im surprised we all havent learned our lesson yet.

so much for a quiet exit of the purple one.

Oh well.

Yeah, I just saw this.

I'm just wondering what he was doing using Avid drives, when he's supposed 2 be using all Glyph drives!

I know Paisley Park is nearly all Glyph FireWire.

This was probably in L.A.

Wierd story.
Who is Ian C Lewis ? Why did he lend Prince an Avid ? More importantly, why didn't Prince just buy an Avid, or hire one from a proper hire company ????

I hope you guys realize that it was probably someone who works with P who did all this. I remember Dr.Fink stating that P was not that tech savy. It looks better to put P’s name on the lawsuit. I am sure he can come up with the 12k.

His future suit?

For $37,000 in equipment he wants $1,000,000?

Good grief.

=[

Prince was threating to sue other MF's. Now some other completly different MF sues his ass. Kinda funny when you think about it.

I agree with you 100%. What happened if true is just not right.

I'm just gonna say it. Some fucking body has to!

Prince being busy being Prince has left the WRONG person in charge of his shit and this person is purposely trying to make Prince look like a complete and utter fool!


I'll give you three guesses on who this person is and the first two don't count!
