- Williams recounts meeting Prince in Dayton while dating the musician’s younger cousin during his own childhood.
- He says Prince told him he was 18 while Williams was 12, noting they initially assumed they were the same age because of their sizes.
- The pair had what Williams calls a “super deep conversation,” after which he considered them friends.
- He cites Prince’s early record deal, self-produced album, and ability to play 26 instruments as proof that talent could stand without altering himself.
- The reminiscence comes from a December 3 appearance on Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson’s IMO Podcast and was reported by outlets including Complex and WBLS.
