Carmen Electra Prince

In 1991, she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she met singer and songwriter Prince. Soon after, Electra signed a recording contract with Prince’s Paisley Park Records and began a short-lived singing career.

However, the two have not had a relationship or get married ever. When Electra learned that her beloved friend had unexpectedly died at his Paisley Park music studios, she was stunned.

For Electra, this is a particularly devastating loss considering Prince had helped launch her earliest days in the music industry. The first time she met the legend, Electra was an aspiring singer and dancer auditioning for an all-girl band he was assembling. While she wasn’t ultimately chosen for the group, her phone unexpectedly rang one day.

“I’m in shock,” she told E! News exclusively. “This is so sad.” As a beloved friend and former boyfriend, there is one trait Electra remembers vividly about the late star.
“He always talked about life, not death. He was excited about music,” she remembered. “But, back then he talked a lot about God, but not about religion. Prince was like a god. Maybe that’s why I’m so shocked he’s passed away.”

Electra started appearing in television shows in 1995.  She was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine n May 1996 which was  the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including Baywatch (cast member in 1997–1998, as Lani McKenzie) and MTV’s Singled Out.
