Carmen Electra: Prince Knew I'd Be a Star
27 May
Summary
- Prince predicted Carmen Electra would be a Marilyn Monroe type.
- Electra has the second-most Playboy covers worldwide.
- Prince gave Electra her stage name Carmen Electra.

In a recent interview on the Legally Goff podcast, Carmen Electra recounted a significant final private conversation with Prince. The musical icon, who dated Electra in the 1990s, told her, "You're going to be a Marilyn Monroe type." Electra found this prediction uncanny, especially considering her subsequent career, which includes having the second-most Playboy covers worldwide.
Electra also revealed that Prince was instrumental in her adopting her stage name. He first suggested "Carmen" after they watched the film Carmen Jones together, and later coined "Electra" due to her fast, energetic dancing. These insights have led Electra to believe Prince possessed a psychic ability, as he seemed to know things about her future.
