Sinead O’Connor vs. Prince
Fights rarely get violent in the music industry, but when they do, they can get pretty ugly. This is how Sinead O’Connor and Prince’s feud looked like. When Sinead was still new in the industry, Prince offered to take her under his wing. This included covering his song “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Sinead reportedly decided to not take him up on his offer and cover the song on her own. As we all know, this became a huge hit, even bigger than the original if you ask anyone. Obviously, Prince didn’t take this lightly and things got physical. She told the London Mirror, “He invited me to his house in Los Angeles and started to give out to me for swearing in interviews. When I told him to go [bleep] himself he got very upset and became quite threatening, physically. I ended up having to escape.” She then said, “He can pack a punch. A few blows were exchanged. All I could do was spit. I spat on him quite a bit.”
