“Nothing Compares 2 U” singer, Sinéad O’Connor, has once again sparked a media firestorm with her claims about the man who wrote the biggest she’s ever had, Prince. She’s been known to oftentimes make her disdain for the late icon public, and her latest controversial statements about Prince come by way of the Carver County Sheriff’s Office.
The Carver County Sheriff’s Office recently closed the criminal investigation into Prince’s death and thus, made all of the files within the nearly two year case public on their website. Now that they’ve done so, all kinds of information has surfaced, including Sinéad’s interview with investigators in the case. As a result of the major claims Sinéad made about Prince, his ex-wife is clappin’ back as well.
What Sinéad Told Investigators About Prince
Carver County Sheriff’s Office investigators interviewed Sinéad 10 days after Prince’s April 21, 2016 death. His death was caused from an accidental overdose of what we now know were counterfeit Vicodin pills laced with Fentanyl, unbeknownst to Prince. During her interview, Sinéad claimed Prince was a hardcore drug addict, who enjoyed physically abusing women. Check out quotes from her audio interview below.
Sinéad O’Connor: “In the case of Prince, everyone is mistaken who believes that he did not have a drug habit for the entire of his life. He used hard drugs commonly. … I know this because I spent time with the man. … He did not release an album, famously, which is called The Black Album. The reason he didn’t, he told me himself, was that he had been taking so many dark drugs that he had had a vision from God and God had told him, the album [was] evil and he was not to release it. The man’s been using drugs all of this time.”

Even though Sinéad made the drug claims, she also admitted she’d never actually seen Prince do the drugs.
SO: “I’ve seen him in very frightening conditions after using drugs. Now, I cannot say that I ever saw him use the drugs. I never saw him actually take them. He would retire to another room to take whatever the drugs were. When he would come out of the room, he would be very violent, very aggressive. His eyeballs would disappear, literally, from his eyes. They vanished. … He had been extremely violent to a number of women in his life, including myself, and several women were put in the hospital while Prince was under the effects of these medications.”
Sinéad also claimed that Prince -who was a devout Jehovah’s Witness- was supposedly into some type of devil worshipping.

Following the release of Sinéad’s interview, Prince’s ex-wife, Mayte Garcia, spoke out:
Via TMZ- Mayte Garcia tells TMZ he was never violent with her and she never witnessed him being violent with anyone … man or woman. She also says he didn’t do hard drugs while they were together, and she only saw him drunk once. […] Garcia admits she found the reports of Prince’s deadly pill stash shocking and heartbreaking, because she knew him for years and didn’t see anything like that. …
But as for O’Connor’s most outrageous claim — that Prince was into devil worship — Garcia…says he was spiritual and religious, but any claims of him doing something sinister are “ridiculously wrong” … adding, “I strongly deny that in his honor.”
In addition to that, Mayte also thinks that the timing of Sinéad’s claims are fishy, because she says she waited until after Prince was deceased to make them.
Sinéad’s claims do sound a lil’ fishy, but to her credit, she did tell one of those claims about Prince well before his death. At that time, Sinéad claimed, in a prior interview, that she actually had a fist fight with Prince back in the day over the song he wrote for her, “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Read about that HERE. That still doesn’t negate the fact that Sinéad waited until after Prince’s death to make most of her claims, just like Mayte stated. Who do you believe ILOSM family?
