Famous Prince Beefs

We'll miss you Prince, the OG savage.

Purple Reigns - Prince was never one to play with. Journalists weren't allowed to record his voice during interviews. He even went after people who posted concert footage of him on Facebook. In essence, Prince was a bad ass that made sure he always got what he needed. Don't forget that back in the early 90s he took to releasing albums in quick succession to get himself out of a record contract.While some artist beef soley on Twitter. Don't forget that Prince didn't always play around like that. His beefs were real-time and three dimensional considering these date back to before at time Twitter existed. Let's look back at some of his best ones. We'll miss you, Prince, the OG savage. – Jon Reyes & Michael Harris (Photo: Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
Prince vs. Lil' Mo  - Prince and Lil Mo got into it one year during The Essence Music Festival. The R&B Diva was kept from using the bathroom while his Purpleness was making his way to the stage, so Mo went on a Twitter tirade, typing, "had VIP passes to meander the whole superdome dude talmbout 'we gotta hold the walk through cuz PRINCE coming through the back.' b---h wtf. I don't want to see him. I had to PEE."Not done yet, she then posted a diss towards his performance with, "But he didn't eem hit all the damn notes."Prince jabbed back with a series of now deleted posts that included him giving a side-eye with the caption: "WINNER OF THE CAPTION THIS PICTURE THANG: 'I hope she know, none of her clothes match.'" Maybe Lil Mo didn't know, but Prince is battle-tested. (Photos from Left: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for NCLR, Ange...
Prince vs. Madonna - Prince and Madonna briefly dated in the '80s and were labelmates but the friendship quickly went left. He told Billboard in 2013 that a lot of his previous issues with Warner Bros. were because of the pop diva. "It was always about Madonna. She was getting paid, but at the same time we were selling more records and selling out concerts on multiple nights."Madonna also spoke of their brief time together in a 1994 interview stating, "[He] was a little troll. He was just sipping tea, very daintily. I have this theory about people who don't eat. They annoy me."(Photos from Left: Kevin Winter/Getty Images; Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup)Prince vs. Rick James - Rick James and Prince never quite saw eye-to-eye and James even claimed that Prince snubbed his mother by refusing to give her an autograph, which set the feud in motion. Prince actually used to open for James, and at the height of the rivalry, it was reported that Prince sat on his bodyguard's shoulder as he walked through the crowd, which drew some of the spotlight away from The Superfreak's performance.(Photos from Left: Staff/Getty Images, WENN.com)
