Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Halle brushed off the rumour that Michael Jackson had asked Babyface to ask her to go on a date with him, but revealed that Prince had most definitely asked her out.
"I don't know, but I know Prince asked me out on a date," she said.
"I was at one of his concerts here on Sunset at the Key Club and I had somebody come out with a piece of paper."
