Facts You Didn't Know About Prince

A 2014 profile by the New York Post wrote that Prince and Jackson had a "strained relationship" that apparently dated back to a time when, for some reason, Prince gave Jackson a voodoo amulet, which caused Jackson to tell his lawyer, "I never want to talk to that guy again." It got worse from there.

According to the profile, Jackson wasn't much of a fan of Purple Rain. He left 10 minutes before it ended at a screening of the movie by Warner Bros. "The music's okay, I guess," Jackson was quoted as saying (via the Post). "But I don't like Prince. He looks mean, and I don't like the way he treats women. He reminds me of some of my relatives. And not only that—the guy can't act at all. He's really not very good."

Despite Jackson's negative opinion of the film, it went on to gross nearly $70 million at the box office. The soundtrack, meanwhile, has since sold 13 million copies in the United States alone.
