quote from Ekstra Bladet, written by Joakim Hediger - translated with Google:

"...maybe because he (Prince) does not like direct questions which later becomes distorted and misunderstood, such as when he was 2 weeks ago talking to a reporter from the newspaper The Guardian, who asked to his visit in Morocco, Prince tells me that what he had said was, 'they had fun in Morocco' and it then became that he thought it was fun the women walked in a burka! But jonalists write what they want to hear, says Prince resigned...."

the same quote in danish:

"...måske fordi han ikke bryder sig om direkte spørgsmål der senere bliver fordrejet og misforstået, som f.eks. da han for 2 uger siden snakkede med en journalist fra avisen the Guardian, der spurgte til hans besøg i Marokko, Prince fortæller mig, at det han havde sagt var, 'de havde haft det sjovt i Marokko', og det var så blevet til, at han syntes det var sjovt af kvinderne gik i burka! Men jonalister skriver hvad de vil høre, siger Prince opgivende...."

That's a little late.

God, not this again. He's backtracking like a mofo. Just STFU, Prince. Just STFU.

lets just leave it behind like it never happened

Really?

So this quote from the 2nd article, that Dr. Funkenberry posted on his website, trying to "clairify" what Prince said is just made up too, right?

What do you do between concerts/shows/gigs?

"I study. I learn. I like to talk to people. In all the countries I go to, I meet the people. For example I'm going back to/returning to Morocco. I really like the Muslim culture. I don't understand what people have against veiled women/women in bhurkhas. How can you stop people dressing how/the way they want to?"
