The singer's career took off when she covered his hit "Nothing Compares 2 U" in 1990. "I loved his music, but I had absolutely no idea or expectation that that single would be such a big hit, not at all," she told Uncut magazine in 2013. "Did I ever meet Prince? I did and... we didn't like each other. At all. I'm not going to go into it, but we detest each other."

"Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades.... Arsenio Hall (AKA Prince's and Eddie Murphy's bitch)," the Irish singer wrote. "Anyone imagining prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land. Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sheriff's office. Expect their call."

O'Connor accused Hall of drugging her in another post. "He produces from his jacket pocket, a splif. 'Says wouldn't I like to stay for a little while longer and smoke it with him. I think "Oh, ok. He's come to his senses," she wrote on Facebook. "So down I put my things and we go outside and he lights the splif. Seems like he doesn't want any himself. Every time I offer it he says "Nah". There's something in the splif that isn't marijuana. I don't know what. I never had it before nor since. Its so hard to describe. Its like if I hadn't had a stronger mind I wouldn't have known what I was doing. Its like 'Me' went very far into the back of my mind and something else took over the rest."

She explained how she was sober the whole time and managed to convince him to take her home. "Laughing all the time he is," she recalled. "Finding it hilarious that I clearly am disoriented. Bitching at me too, as he had on the way. What a wanker I am etc. How dare I this, how dare I that."
