Sinead O’Connor vs. Prince
Sinead O’Connor recently passed away at age 56. Her beef with Prince emerged from a bizarre encounter at his mansion after her cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U” became a chart-topping hit. She alleged that Prince, whom she admired musically, turned aggressive and abusive during their meeting. He chastised her for swearing in interviews and offered her soup, which she declined.
Things took a disturbing turn when he suggested a pillow fight and hit her with something hard in the pillowcase. She fled, with Prince allegedly chasing her in his car. O’Connor openly shared her account, calling him a monster. Despite their hostility, both artists succeeded incredibly in their respective careers.
