![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Prince Rogers Nelson, known to mere mortals as Prince, is being sued by a man who claims the Purple One took 12 AVID hard drives and never paid for them. When nerds cry!
In a lawsuit filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Ian Lewis claims that Prince, named as a defendant (along with his record label and fan club website), took 12 AVID IS SCSI Shuttle Drives worth $12,000, alleging that Prince and his people never had any intention of returning them or paying for them.
In addition, Lewis claims that a $25,000 computer, which was also loaned to Prince, was returned by his people "in a broken and un-fixable condition." Computer blue!
Lewis is seeking damages to be determined at trial and exemplary damages in the amount of $1,000,000. Calls to Prince's reps were not immediately returned.

I completely believe this story. A friend of mine once worked for Prince at Paisley Park Studios outside Minneapolis, and he told me stories of pieces of gear worth thousands of dollars, some of it rare or vintage one of a kind pieces, just laying around sitting in puddles of water. Prince has no concept of how the real world works. These AVID drives probably contain a bunch of unedited footage that Prince had shot for him so he can then hide it away in some vault. The dude is crazy and a nightmare to work for.
Lets see....$12,000.00 + $25,000.00 = $1,000,000.00? Now this is what it sounds like when doves cry!!!

Funny how that one can call the cops and get an adopted dog placed back in your possession in hours yet one has to file a lawsuit to get back hard drives. Sounds to me like this man neglected asserting his own rights in contract form or other form until that last moment to make the most out of a lawsuit opportunity to me.
here's a thought, that dumb ass crocker guy can dress up a prince for halloween,that way he would still look like a girl,lol
