Prince’s Close Associates Believe Michael Jackson Humiliated Prince
Michael Jacksonand Prince’s infamous rivalry has been documented by various media. The two music icons’ feud started in the 80s and the root cause of the rivalry is not known. However, it is believed that an incident involving the duo at a James Brown concert in 1983 proved to be the start of their long-standing feud.
AsYahoo! Lifereports, at the concert Brown called up Jackson on the stage and he briefly entertained the audience. After a while. Jackson called Prince onto the stage (who was high at the time) and played guitar. It seems that he took his shirt off and also knocked down some props that were on the stage.
This seemed to have freaked out the crowd a little bit with Prince’s drummer Bobby Z exclaiming“Oh boy … he made an ass of himself tonight.”(viaSlate). This incident seems to be the catalyst of the feud and according to Slate, Prince’s associates were convinced that Jackson was successful in humiliating Prince at that incident.

Talking toThe Guardian, Crowe remembered the time when he received several bizarre calls that scared him while he was staying in several hotels. The caller later revealed himself to be Jackson. Crowe said,
“For two or three f**king years. I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn’t matter where I was, he’d ring up do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know. ‘Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what’s holding the roof up? Ha ha.’ You’re supposed to grow out of doing that, right?”
Crowe also told the same story onThe Graham Norton Showwhich left everyone in splits. It is indeed a hilarious story that shows the fun side of the musician in addition to being a huge global star.
