Back in 2006 Chicago Bulls Forward Carlos Boozer rented his home to Prince and the Grammy award winning singer and guitarist almost found himself on the wrong side of a NBA beat-down.

According to Boozer’s good friend Jay Williams his Purple Badness went H.A.M on Boozers Beverly Hills mansion turning blue water fountains purple and branding the front gates with his famous androgynous logo. “Booz was livid. So pissed off, so angry,” Williams told ESPN’s The Waddle & Silvy Show. ” Booz was like, ‘I was getting ready to go over there and beat this little man down.’ And dude was just like ‘Here, Boozer, here is a little check for about a million, it’ll take care of everything, get it back the way you want it.’ And Booz was like, ‘This little man is cool as hell.'”

With the Bulls leading the NBA’s Eastern conference and a playoff appearance secured (57-20) Boozer was asked if he had any tickets reserved for Prince, an avid Basketball fan.

“If he wanted a ticket, I have one waiting for him,” Boozer said Wednesday on “The Waddle & Silvy Show” on ESPN 1000. “Good dude, man. Great dude. I can’t go into detail with what happened, but he’s a great guy. Good tenant. Paid his bills on time. He’s a very gentle dude, very humble. Very big on family. I’m proud to have him as a friend.”
