Marley’s manager, Don Taylor, tried to arrange a collaboration between the two legends in 1979–Prince had just released his second album, while Marley died just a year and a half later–but was unsuccessful in his efforts, largely because of Prince’s wardrobe, or lack of it. After a Prince show in Los Angeles, the reggae legend visited him backstage. Taylor said, “When we called on Prince, he met us in this skimpy leopard g-string undergarment, which immediately aroused Bob’s Jamaican macho feelings, and so our stay was as brief as Prince’s g-string and Bob’s discomfort was shown all over his face.”

so you don't have to explain to me how they think. I asked how does he know?
. The author does give citations for each anecdote. Some were interviews by the author, but a lot of the stories come from other sources. This one comes from Per Nilsen's book Dance Music Sex Romance: Prince: The First Decade. Now yours for only 473$! He also has a tidbit about Madonna and Prince, which in 2006 may have been news, but now it seems to be common knowledge that Prince played uncredited on Act of Contrition and Keep it Together. The Prince/Madonna anecdote comes from Paul Zollo's book Songwriters on Songwriting: Revised and Expanded (4th Ed.).
