take40.com exclusiveThey may be full grown human beings AND superstar musicians but that's not going to stop the Black Eyed Peas from getting a full-on dressing down from the one and only Prince!
take40.com caught up with the Black Eyed Peas during their live stint in Australia and they revealed Prince wasn't too happy with their language!
"Me and apl were at Prince's house and we had a jam session and we were like rapping," Taboo told take40.com. "Then he handed me the mic and I said 'rock that shit' - and the crowd was responding 'that funky shit!'"

"Prince doesn't like any cursing," adds apl.de.ap.
"But I didn't know that," Taboo continues. "I thought I was hyping the crowd because the crowd was saying it! So apl goes 'Yo tab, you gotta get off the mic, Prince doesn't want you on the mic no more'. And I was like 'Oh, what did I do wrong?!' To make a long story short, Prince comes up to us and says 'Can I speak to you?'"
"Oh my God!" Fergie chimes in.
"And he pulls us into this music room and we're sitting down and I'm just like 'Damn!' I'm a big prince fan..."

"...and Prince is like 'Cursing you know, it takes us back to slavery days and stuff like that and you know I wouldn't encourage cursing'. And Taboo was so excited he's like 'Hey Prince, you're the shit man!'"
Yikes! Note to self - never swear in front of Prince.
The Peas wrap up their 'The E.N.D' Australian tour in Perth tomorrow night, Saturday 10th October at Burswood Dome. Head over to our friends at thehothits.com for a review of the Melbourne gig!
