It's pretty much an objective fact that Prince Rogers Nelson, or just Prince, as he was known throughout his storied career, was an unrivaled musical genius — but that doesn't mean people at or near his level of fame liked the guy.

Part of the tragic real-life story of Prince is the voluminous number of feuds he started and exacerbated, and the enemies he made along the way. There were many celebrities that Prince couldn't stand, and quite a few who didn't like Prince in return. Here are all the luminaries of music, sports, fashion, and pop culture who didn't personally enjoy the company of one of the most heralded artists of all time, Prince.
The legend still known and beloved as Prince will always be remembered for being a musical genius, a glitter-covered eccentric, and a charismatic and creative performer, who sadly died far too young. He was basically nocturnal, rarely ate, loved watching and playing basketball, and threw incredible parties at his Minneapolis estate, Paisley Park, complete with live music and guest lists filled with his famous friends.
It wasn't just his age that made his death shocking: He had been performing just days prior, and he had been making plans to play a series of shows on what he'd dubbed his Piano & A Microphone tour. Although he had canceled one show due to what he described as a bout with the flu, there were no outward signs that there was anything amiss with the superstar. It was only after his death that an investigation put a spotlight on exactly what was going on in his life off-stage, and it was a story of old injuries, chronic pain, and the chronic use of painkillers.
Prince generally kept the public at an arm's length from his private affairs, and though the world saw an eccentric musical genius, the Purple One's life was often marred with loss, tragedy, pain, and disaster. Today, we'll lift the veil of secrecy covering some of the more unfortunate incidents of the Artist's career and personal life. Let's take a look at the tragic real-life story of Prince.
