Prince is facing a $1 million lawsuit after he reportedly failed to pay for computer goods that he had taken.

A lawsuit was filed yesterday at Los Angeles Superior Court against the musician by Ian Lewis, who accused Prince of taking "several hard drives used for video production" without giving him any money for them.

Lewis also claimed that the singer had returned a $25,000 computer to him that was "in a broken and unfixable condition".

Prince's representatives have not yet commented about the lawsuit.
