Richard Pryor made a bet with Eddie Murphy for $100,000 that he couldn’t make a hit song in 1985.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Eddie Murphy recounted a bet he made with Richard Pryor over Murphy's 1985 music album,
"How Could It Be". Pryor initially doubted Murphy's ability to create a serious music album without leaning on his comedy background, according to a report on Yahoo. Murphy bet Pryor $100,000 that he could do it, and although he did release the album, Pryor never paid the bet. Murphy mentioned the bet in the liner notes of his album, acknowledging Pryor as his idol and the recipient of the unpaid bet.
