In June 1997, Prince met Muhammad Ali—not as a star, but as a student. “Muhammad is my hero,” he said. They spoke about truth, identity, and the power of a name. Ali’s wisdom left a mark, and their bond grew into a real friendship. Prince later invited him to Paisley Park. He called Ali the greatest inspiration of his life. Both legends passed in 2016, weeks apart—but their legacy still echoes. #Prince #MuhammadAli
