Prince sued for painting house purple
Lili2
Prince recently upset his landlord, NBA star Carlos Boozer, by
allegedly turning a $11.9 million rental property into a purple
fantasyland.
Boozer, who is renting a West Hollywood home to the musician for
$70,000 a month, sued Prince in January, alleging that the singer
painted the title of his new album, 3121, and his "prince" symbol onto
the exterior of the house, according to papers obtained by the Smoking
Gun Web site.
The suit also alleged that Prince had purple stripes painted on the
house and installed a purple monogrammed carpet in the master bedroom.
Lawyers for Prince countered the suit with proof that Boozer had
collected his rent without complaint, and the lawsuit was dismissed in
February - though the Smoking Gun says Boozer can file again on the
same grounds.
Reps for Prince had no comment. His lease reportedly ends May 31.
