Sinead O'Connor says she has reported Arsenio Hall for dealing drugs to Prince

Sinead O'Connor says she's reported Arsenio Hall to the police because he was dealing drugs to Prince.

Writing on Facebook, O'Connor also claims that Hall spiked her drink:

"Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades.... Arsenio Hall (AKA Prince's and Eddie Murphy's bitch) Anyone imagining Prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land. Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sherrif's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie murphy's house. You best get tidying your man cave."

Hall has responded through a spokesperson, calling the claims "absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd."

Prince suddenly pased away last month at the age of 57 at his Minnesota home. The cause of death has not been publically confirmed pending an ongoing investigation.

Sinead O'Connor's biggest hit is arguably a cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U", but according to a recent interview with the Irish singer, they weren't exactly pals.

In an interview with Norwegian TV, O'Connor recounted the time when Prince "summoned" her to his house because he'd taken offense to bad language she'd used in interviews. "He's very foolish to do this with an Irish woman... I told him to fuck off," O'Connor said.

“He got quite violent. I actually had to escape out of his house at like 5 o’clock in the morning. He really packed a punch. Bigger than mine... we’re running around his car, he found me on the road, we’re chasing, I’m spitting at him, he’s trying to box me, and that’s how we got on. I had to ring someone’s door bell - which is a trick my father taught me years ago -to escape. I could run faster than him, though, because my father was a sprinter, and Prince had on the boots..."
