Richard Pryor Still Owes Eddie Murphy $100,000   

When Richard Pryor died, it left a hole in Eddie Murphy's . . . WALLET. A $100,000 hole.

 

 

Remember when Eddie released an album of MUSIC called "How Could It Be" in 1985? 

 

 

Well, when Eddie told Richard he was planning to do that, Richard said there was NO WAY Eddie could make an entire album with just music, and no comedy. He even bet Eddie 100k that it wouldn't happen.

 

 

So when Eddie did release the album, he wrote this inside of it: "To Richard Pryor, my idol, with whom I have a $100,000 bet. No mother[effer], I didn't forget."

 

 

Pryor died in 2005 . . . without ever paying up.
