I came across this earlier on Deadspin and not it's all over the place. But i'm going with it anyways.
Carlos Boozer is suing Prince(yes, the purple one) for unlawful detainer (unlawful detainer amounts to breach of your lease). Apparently Prince was renting Boozer's West Hollywood home for a number of months at a rate of $70,000/month. As if Booz wasn't stealing enough from the Utah Jazz.
While staying in the home Prince made some "minor" modifications to the home. These modifications included painting purple stripping on the exterior, and the Prince symbol. There was also some purple carpet added to the master bedroom. Needless to say C Booz and his wife CeCe were pissed, (actual she was probably the one who was, pissed because she's the one who makes the decisions).
This whole story is filled with lunacy, the boys over at Deadspin seem astonished by the fact that Booz would be renting his home to the Purple One. But it all makes sense when you consider some other stories floating around about Prince.
There is, of course the infamous episode of Chappelle's show where Charlie Murphy plays Prince in a game of basketball (where Prince is crossing dudes like Iverson). And then there is; An Evening with Kevin Smith, a series of talks that Smith gave at various colleges. In one of these talks Smith starts talking about his experience filming a documentary about Prince that never gets released. So Smith starts talking about how much Prince loves basketball. It's starting to come together isn't it.
Prince loves him some fucking hoops!
The only question I have is why rent the house from Boozer. There have to be other balles out there renting homes that haven't stolen from a blind man.
