About this episode
As music icons who revolutionized pop, Michael Jackson and Prince were towering figures in their own right. But, few fans are aware of the years-long rivalry brewing between the superstars behind the scenes. As the Purple One's fame escalated, so too did tensions between the two artists. They proceeded to engage in a series of increasingly bizarre one-upmanship battles—we're talking an antagonistic concert showdown, a cutthroat ping pong grudge match, and the most outrageous quarrel claim of all time involving an alleged satanic-chant-filled shoebox left on a doorstep.
