This is old news. He was baptized two years ago, after studying for five years. That may seem an unusually long time, but you have to consider his time constraints, plus debating how this would affect his life and career. He gave up, not sold, his claim to any of his songs with suggestive lyrics, meaning he receives nothing when they are played or sold. That's reflective of the Bible story about the magicians who decided to follow the one true God, and burned their gold encrusted books of magic, even though they were very valuable and could have been sold.
You will note that as usual, the Watchtower did not publish anything in their magazine about Prince, nor did they call a press conference, as other religions would have done. The press only took note of it when Prince announced he would no longer sing certain songs.

Are you referring to a prince as in any royal offspring of a king or are you referring to the gentleman who is fond of purple and was formally known as and is now once again known as Prince?
If it is the former, the scriptures show that anyone can respond to the good news of God's kingdom.
If it is the latter, the scriptures show that anyone can respond to the good news of God's kingdom.
