Rapper The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, is one many celebrities who are reliving their memories of the legendary singer Prince after he passed away on April 21. The Game has revealed that he and Prince were supposed to collaborate with a track, but it did not push through due to a curse word.

The Game told TMZ that he and Prince were working on a song. However, when Prince found out that the lyrics included a curse word, he decided to back out.

"I wanted him to get a on a song and he was down to do the song, right," the rapper explained. "So we met at [former Universal Music Group chairman and CEO] Doug Morris' office, man, at Universal a few years back and he heard the song and there was one curse word in it and he was like, 'Yo. I can't get on that. It's got a curse word in it.'"

Fans of Prince may wonder why the artist declined to do the song when his older tracks included curse words. The reason is because 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World' and 'Purple Rain' singer eventually became a Jehovah's Witness.

The Game was courteous about Prince's decision saying, "That's the evolution of people and their lives. You get older. You get wiser. Prince became a Jehovah's Witness, and he cut out all that so we didn't do the song 'cause I needed that curse word."

Despite Prince flaking out on the song, The Game said that they harbored no ill feelings toward each other. In fact, when they met again at what he thinks was the B.E.T. Awards, the rapper said that they just laughed about that moment.

As for news on Prince's death, an autopsy has already been conducted. Alt it will probably take weeks before the results are released, Sheriff Jim Olson from the Minnesota county said that there are no signs of trauma on the body. Suicide is also unlikely.
