Prince joined his fellow musical idols in 1983, with his longtime bodyguard Big Chick carrying him to the stage. Unfortunately, the appearance didn’t go that well, as Prince’s former manager Alan Leeds explained:
Prince went to a James Brown gig with Bobby Z, his drummer at the time, Big Chick, who was his security guard, and I think Jill Jones, who was one of his protégés. By now, everybody knows what happened at that gig. I don’t think Prince realized that Michael was going to be there. James looked a little puzzled in that video when Michael whispered in his ear, “Hey, bring Prince up.” And of course Prince didn’t really know what to do either. He went to the guitar first but he fumbles with that because it was left-handed. He played a few licks, did some dancing and knocked over a prop by accident. Now I always wondered if Michael intentionally brought Prince up to put him in that position just to say, “Hey, you think you’re on my ass? Well follow this, motherfucker [laughs].” Bobby Z called me and said, “Oh boy…he made an ass of himself tonight.” He said Prince didn’t say a word the whole way to the hotel.

watched the video and it was not a left handed guitar unless he was talking about another time..
also i doubt there was anything but respect between MJ and Prince. Game recognize game and genius does too.
But did you check that lil cat out... fuck a crowd carry me to the stage
