The 57-year-old iconic singer, Prince who passed away last month is alleged to have died of drug overdose. Meanwhile, Sinead O' Connor invited trouble by accusing Arsenio Hall for supplying drugs to Prince for years. The comedian enraged by O' Connor's comments has sued her for $5 million for defamation.

O' Connor, well- known for landing herself in controversies has now taken Prince's death issue in her hands. She wrote on one of her Facebook posts, which was deleted later that Arsenio Hall is the person the DEA should look out for while investigating about the person who supplied Prince with drugs. The singer also accused that Hall was supplying drugs for Prince for decades together.

"Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades ... Arsenio Hall. Anyone imagining prince was not a long time hard drug user is living in cloud cuckoo land," O'Connor wrote in a post that has since been deleted, according to CNN.

Sinead O'Connor also called out Arsenio Hall that she has reported him to Carver County Sheriff's office and he can expect a call from them any time. She also added that the cops were informed that Hall spiked her up at Eddie Murphy's house years ago.

On account of accusations made by O' Connor in public, Hall sued her for defamation for $5 million. Hall's attorneys denied O'Connor's claims in the lawsuit that O'Connor's comments in the social media are "absolutely false" and the accusations regarding the illegal supply of drugs to Price are "fabricated lies."

The report also claims that O'Connor herself is aware that the comments made by her were false and yet she posted them. The lawsuit also noted that Hall never spiked O' Connor anywhere nor did he supply illegal drugs to Prince any day.

"Desperate, attention seeker Sinead O'Connor has maliciously published outlandish defamatory lies about comedian Arsenio Hall, falsely accusing him of supplying illegal 'hard drugs' 'over the decades' to the recently deceased music artist, Prince, and of spiking her with drugs once years ago," the lawsuit says, as reported by ABC News.
