Art
- Back of the Neck Jean-Michel Basquiat, Brooklyn Museum
Basquiat crown reference. Brooklyn Museum notes the classic gold crown in this work; useful source for the crossed-out crown/image pressure in Prince Ali.
Photographs
- Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston, Lewiston (1965) Neil Leifer
Artist-confirmed direct pose reference: Ali's first-round taunt over the fallen Liston, arms coiled across the chest in follow-through. Reads defensive in implementation — the source is a victory image.

- What's my name? — Ali vs. Ernie Terrell (1967) Houston Astrodome, February 6, 1967
The fight where the buried name was punished: Terrell kept saying Clay, and Ali asked the question for fifteen rounds.
- Prince Ali Aladdin (1992), Alan Menken / Howard Ashman
The parade-song source for the title: a prince introduced by announcement, a name performed at crowds.
