Wonder what year it was the three of them hung out.

I'm not an MJ fan in the least but from every story I've read about Prince and MJ it seems Prince was extremely awkward around him and resorted to mean jokes, mockery and such. Meanwhile, MJ wanted to colloborate with him and may have wanted to have a friendship with him.

It wasnt until MJ died that Prince showed a geniune respect for him as an artist.

I think TTD also said his relationship with Prince was a bit off at times. Lenny, suprisingly, seemed to get off well with him.

I don't think Lenny was a threat to Prince, though, TTD and MJ may have been.(In P's eyes)

Don't be so tender, man. Prince greatly respected MJ. He locked himself in his room for a few days when MJ died, mourning his loss. MJ's passing really put Prince in a weird state for a while. In fact, it wasn't until MJ passed that Prince started to incorporate "Shake Your Body" and other songs into his setlist (starting with the 20Ten Tour). There was no need to before; Prince had plenty of his own music.

To create a narrative that Prince didn't respect MJ until after he died is absolute fiction. Prince playing bass in MJ's face isn't dispespectful. Playing ping-pong and ribbing him to play harder isn't disrespectful. To decline a duet on a song that should've never been a duet anyway isn't disrespectful. And their "messing" with MJ ended up being three guys hanging out, talking, and having fun. "Mess with" could likely mean they surprisingly showed up to MJ's rehearsal unannounced.

Fans gotta stop making something into more than what it is. To think Prince and MJ didn't have mututal respect is dim.

I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall for that meet-up!

What a fucking shame they never did a song toghter in their prime.

There's an anecdote from one of Micheal's engineer s that Prince showed up to visit Michael during the History sessions in New York. Everybody had to clear the studio. There's no mention of Kravitz though. This is in the MJ book by Steve Knopper. This was circa 1995. However, I think Lenny collaborated with Michael towards the late 90's, so it must be separate instance.

Thank you. According to Michael Bland or Morris Hayes Michael Jackson visted Paisley Park at least once. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this.

Thanks for sharing

You probably think Prince(allegedly) trying to run MJ down with his car was "mutual respect," too.

You probably think Prince actually wanted to commit bodily injury or murder.
