Prince re-signs with 'slave' label Warner Bros Records

The world most famous Prince has re-signed with the Warner Brother Record after he called the record label a slave 20 years ago. Prince decide to produce really bad  album when at the label and didn't receive respect when at the record label. This has affected their his career and made a big part on his career after what they did to him and the actions he didn't leading up to him leaving the label. but now he has decided to resign with the label. 

"Everyone at Warner Bros Records is delighted to be working with Prince once again; he is one of the world's biggest stars and a truly unique talent," said the label's chairman and CEO, Cameron Strang.

When Warners disagreed, on both counts, Prince began appearing in public with the word "Slave" written across his face, and changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol - leading the press to christen him The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
"People think I'm a crazy fool for writing 'slave' on my face," he told Rolling Stone magazine in 1996. "But if I can't do what I want to do, what am I? When you stop a man from dreaming, he becomes a slave.
"That's where I was. I don't own Prince's music. If you don't own your masters, your master owns you."
I think that after prince dissing  and  doing certain action against doing the label and saying bad and hurtful things toward the label, I don't think he should of signed for the label. However, he was young and vulnerable and didn't know what he was doing , he was new to the industry and didn't really know how the music industry operated and worked, so for this he had time to relax and look at the issues and think about resigning for the label.
