Sinead O’Connor, who once claimed Prince punched her in his home, has slammed the man she says is responsible for his death.

The 49-year-old singer-songwriter has taken aim at American comedian Arsenio Hall, claiming he provided drugs to Prince “over the decades” which, in her opinion, caused his untimely passing.

Horrified by the allegations, Arsenio’s representative toldTMZ that O’Connor’s Facebook post is “absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd.”

Prince and O’Connor had an unruly relationship despite their overwhelming collaborative success as artists (Nothing Compares 2 U).

“We didn’t get along at all. In fact, we had a punch-up,” she said.

“He summoned me to his house, and he’s very foolish to do this with an Irish woman… He told me he didn’t like me saying bad words in my interviews, so I told him to f— off… 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.”

Prince always denied the allegations, and said such an altercation never took place.
