How Carmen Electra first got her name
RadarOnline.com reports reveal that Carmen first crossed paths with Prince when she auditioned for a girl group he was forming. Although she was not selected for the group, Prince surprised her with a phone call later. He offered to provide her with a song she had written. However, he insisted that she change her name to “Carmen Electra.”
Recalling the conversation with Prince, Carmen said: “I got a call from Prince saying I think you should be your own artist and not endorse anyone else. I’m going to write you a song and if you like it you can record it. The name of the song was ‘Carmen on Top’. My name is Tara, so she was confused. I loved the song. I loved it, but he said, ‘You’re not a Tara.’ You are not Tara. You are Carmen.’”
Electra willingly accepted Prince’s influence, recognizing that he had control over various aspects of her life, including her clothes, music, and hairstyles. Despite the challenges, she admired his genius in those areas.
Carmen and Prince had a romantic relationship, but eventually separated in the early 1990s due to differences in where they wanted to live. Carmen decided to stay in Los Angeles, while Prince urged her to return to Minnesota.
Explaining the decision, Carmen said, “I told him I wanted to live in Los Angeles and he spent as much time here as he did in Minnesota. He wanted me to come back to Minnesota and I said no. “I broke up with him and stayed in Los Angeles.”
Even after their breakup, Carmen remained connected to Prince, as he hired her to dance at his club in Los Angeles. Reflecting on that period, she shared: “She was no longer his girlfriend, but she was one of his girls. “This was after we broke up.”
