I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S GOING SO FAST! This is part of the trouble i was having with editing😬 😤😤Yall, this video truly took blood, sweat, and tears. Like I cried forreal, no joke lol. My editing software messed up for 3 days and even when I thought it was fixed it still didn't work. It's still not all the way right it's very sped up for some reason. My feelings are so hurt but WE MADE IT!💃🏾💃🏾 ON TOP OF THAT it was hard as heck to find anything on Prince!😫😫
Yeah and especially after making people sign those NDAs, NDAs would make people loyal. You would get sued for tattling on what you saw or knew about him. Prince was a smart man. You wanna be my friend? Well, you better "sign this' I still like Prince though
@@dorisblackwell9586 - It depends on how the NDA was written. I doubt anything at that point in his career was in his personal name. A business man like Prince was a corporation. Those people worked for Prince, Inc.
I think Prince lost his mind when his child passed away. He was a control freak and could not control the death of his son. During this time some really shady people slipped into his inner circle.
@@Dhunt118 No he wasn’t he was emotionally guarded and misunderstood due to his Traumatic childhood he cared a great deal for people and their feelings But these are pretty much rumors that are mentioned in this video especially regarding his son
@@Dhunt118 All entertainers are narcissist. They have to believe that they are the best. If he didn't he would have not been the legend we know and love.
I met Prince in the late 90's when he was a symbol. He complemented my outfit & appearance. For the after party, he performed at the club called Egypt in Philadelphia, PA. What a great show & after party! RIP 💘
Wow, that's an awesome story, you're lucky!!!! My sister and I looked for the after party and couldn't find it, before cell phones were so available. My bf was also waiting for us. I really wish I could've went to that party!! But the concert was awesome!!!!! ❤️
The opioid addiction originates from the fact that Prince had arthritic hips from all those years of dancing and jumping off risers in those high heels. He even had surgery at one point. Also, the song "I Wanna be Your Lover " was made as a tribute to musician Patrice Rushen, another multi instrument playing prodigy. Although she was a few years older he was quite infactuated with her as she taught him a great deal about studio engineering and other aspects of the music business.
I remember listening to the radio years ago, and they announced that Prince had just gotten married but Nona was still living in his house. It's one thing to have your man come home and put you out, it's another for him to bring his new wife with him. Absolutely humiliating😩😩
Yeah... and he couldn’t have hip replacements because he would need a blood transfusion afterwards. And by him being Jehovah’s Witness, receiving blood transfusions is against their faith. But his had killer pain in his hips.... so he got addicted to the pain pills to deal with the pain
@@nancisam8305 girl honey child..wen he would walk out on stage or to any awards he walked in them stilettos 👠👠likka ballerina 🧚♂️..wish I cud where heels like dat..child i will be dwn on the ground I'll stick to my flats😁🥿🥿👟👟
Well, you can't play with a woman''s emotions like that, and still expect them to carry on unaffected. This is the very reason why many black women get the unfair label of "angry black woman", when most have no clue what she's had to go through or put up with, from being with a certain "man". When she has been your backbone, seen you through your worst and still stays there for you, and suddenly, the man cheats on you with someone else, knocks you up and then "isn't ready to be a father", he's "just not ready to settle down", or suddenly becomes wealthy and "headed in a different direction"...what woman wouldn't feel used up, bitter and disrespected? At least Vanity turned to religion, because she could have gotten ahold of some hot grits or something.
i always felt like Prince's promiscuous ways was some type of overcompensating. Maybe for his height, maybe for the gay rumors. Inviting new spirits in your private zone is drainng after a while and feels hollow
I think the way he was taught about sex in relationships was on a very superficial level his mother would give him pornography to read Also he was engaging in sexual nature at a very early age by the age of 12 caught with a grown woman allegedly so His mind is going to be warped and consumed with sex He even admitted that on the Chris rock interview he viewed youth and beauty as the most important but overall it was very superficial because women aren’t perfect people aren’t perfect but that’s at the level of perfectionism he had to uphold in his own Mind
agreed. I also believe that being around taller charismatic brothers like Andre Cymone, Morris Day, Dez Dickerson, BrownMark, etc. made it so Prince had to compete and establish his alpha male power. 'I'm short but I can play music and basketball better than y'all tall dudes. And I can pull the best women...'
@@reimourrpower9357 It was some of that but I believe with him being caught with that grown woman at 12 It really warped his mind and he even said at 10 years old his mother would Intentionally leave explicit Adult material for him to read All of this played a part and there’s more to the story about the song he wrote called sister allegedly he was molested by one of his sisters when he was 16 and she was in her 30s
For real. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 He was one of the first celebrities to unequivocally and unapologetically say, Black Lives Matter. I'm a Black woman, from Minneapolis and never got the impression he had internalized antiBlackness. My good friend since elementary is the daughter of Andre Simone (Anderson) and she has never said any family rumors that would lead me to believe he was tryna not be Black. He just didn't fit in nobody's boxes for anything. I also remember when our only Black radio station was gonna close for being broke. It went off air and by the time school was out we had KMOJ back on air for the ride home cause Prince stepped in and quietly put up the money. They are still in business today.
I never heard Prince say anything negative about Micheal except the time Michael wanted him in his Bad video. They were frieneimes. They loved and respected each others work, but still had that small twinge of competition between them.
@@sherinalindsey-stewart4252 The way I understand it...Michael didn't like Prince. He was upset about the Bad situation among other things. What people don't realize is that MJ and Prince crossed paths quite a bit early on in their careers. Prince also had a crush on LaToya at one point. LaToya wasn't interested at all though. So, that bothered Michael. I think Michael was just an extra sensitive person and lots of things seemed to bother him. Prince had more of a "I don't give a s__t" personality. And that was alarming to Michael. I read that Michael would say Prince was "mean". Also, it is said Michael couldn't understand Prince's popularity because he wasn't as much of a traditional dancer. Michael attributed true talent with singing and traditional dancing ability (kind of like what you think of when you think of The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr, James Brown)...he thought that type of dancing was talent. Michael couldn't understand what people saw in Prince's music. Also, he said he didn't like the way Prince talked about women in his music. Clearly, Michael was very uncomfortable with anything to do with sexuality in Prince's music. This has been noted many times. Supposedly, Prince on the other hand was less concerned with Michael. I think they both grew to have more of an appreciation for each others' contributions to music when they got older.
@@lisacox3750 things were way different, matter of fact Michael Jacksons father Joe gave Prince dap and Prince spent time with Michael Jackson mother Katherine and it was respectful,musically they respected and checked out one Another and they both had to deal with racism and politics in the industry and both spoke out on it,they both had their flaws and shortcomings like us all and both were sensitive and wanted control, Michael Jackson and Prince had the same cold cut your throat attitude that Michael Jordan had,best believe you don't last long in that business being soft
Prince's hair STAYED laid! And how many women WISH they could work it in heels the way Prince could? LOL Jumping off tall speakers, straight into a split, then right up... all while playing his guitar. Now that's skills, AND in heels!
That really only helps the idolization. Did you forget? Celebrities have been around since the beginning of time. Before colonization, and will continue to.
This was great. I have to say, every Black artist that mentions him says how supportive he was of them. Like a godfather type. He did love Black people and Black music.
.....except black women. 🙄 Well there was one... Nona Gay. He dumped her for Mayte. She didn't even know Prince and her were no longer together until Mayte flashed her ring in her face per Nona. Sidenote. Im a big fan. Prince Orger. Purple army...thats my only ought with Prince.
I'm old enough to remember when Prince first came out our local radio station would not play Prince's music until after 9pm. That's how risque and controversial he was.
oh Chile! His Mercury was in GEMINI and his Mars was in ARIES, that's why he was such a hot head when it came to how he spoke and his anger! His Scorpio rising and Neptune Scorpio, OMG! He was definitely a strong force to be reckoned with!!!
Nona Gaye is marvin Gaye daughter.... When he was with her he was with Mayte too.... They was honoring prince at an award show and Nona Gaye was giving him the award... Mayte decided to stay on a stage with Prince... Prince was tell her to GO.... GO.... When norma handed him his award Mayte flashed her ring to her..... When i heard that story i was thinking.... how do you get caught up on an award show..😂🤔
I love my Prince so when he came to concert on his Hit and Run concert I was there.That night Prince apologized for not repping black women in his carrer.He said he was influenced heavily by Hollywood to cater to his white audience.Years later he dropped Cold Sweat featuring beautiful black women that he didn't represent in years past.I hope that was just the beginning to righting some wrongs in his life.Thats my Prince story. 💜💜💜tfs sis you always deliver.🤗
Great points & and story, thank you for sharing. I have a favor I'd like to ask you Ms. *Unchain your Brain* : if possible could you present your retalling of how Prince said live in concert he apologized for "not repping Black women" and was "influenced haevily by Hollywood". I made a state below about 3 posts that Prince was "colorist" and that he favored white women early in his career. But as you said he changed and showed much love to sisters later, hiring them in bands and having them star in his videos. Thank you whatever you decide to do.
@@reimourrpower9357 ...Sure.He stopped the music and was very candid in saying that it was never his idea to exclude black women and that his team thought it was best for his career and it was something he regret...and tbh it makes sense because his first crush was a woman named Patrice?She was a R&B singer.I believe it was Patrice Rushen.One of his closest friend was Tamron Hall.So I do believe his relationship with Mayte was manufactured by his handlers as well as majority of his relationships that were seen..I hope I answered your question.
Ms. Ashley you stepped on to sacred ground with this one. Prince is my musical sanctuary.. been listening to his music for over 35 years. Prince was a musical genius..an electrifying performer..in his later years a social activist. But.... Prince was messy af. An egotistical control freak...a womanizer.. alas.... Prince was human
@@janeeyre9427 you are correct. Flaws and all. I've never believed the satanic b.s. I remember that gossip even before I actually got into him as a musician. A lot of my spiritual journey and growth actually sprouted from his music. Racial acceptance of others and self awareness of social issues and where I fit in the world. All were affected by his music
I've followed Prince for 35+ years. We (high school friends) all told our parents we were at each other's house while sleeping outside the arena for great tickets. Scored tickets so close we could see his flawless pores.That concert set the tone for EVERY concert that followed. I've been a fan FOREVER and followed his career, interviews, concerts, etc. Prince said jumping off pianos and speakers caused him to have a lot of pain in his hips and knees. He "didn't want to perform unless he could give his fans the full (Prince) experience". I believe that's why he started using the pain meds. I will say, he is the ONLY man in makeup and high heels that could have got it.😍 I loved his speaking voice and that he was elusive. The talent goes beyond saying...there are no words. 🎶 💜 -+> You were right, most die hard fans knew almost all of this. Nicely packaged though.👍🏾
I love Prince, but damn, it sounds like he treated Mayte like shit! She keeps pushing that “he was my soulmate” narrative, but I think it was Vanity. They died 2 months apart!
They died two months After each other I truly believe vanity was his soulmate Even though she got married to somebody else none of her relationships ever work out because she always had a deep connection to him she prayed that they would be reunited In the afterlife she also passed on the same day that his mother passed I think he married Mayte because she was pregnant already and she was a virgin when he met her It didn’t seem like a genuine connection between them
@@briannaburch6737 That's what the rumour is. I think it's the truth because with most shotgun weddings people swear they got pregnant on the honeymoon or a few weeks after.lol
@@renaissancewoman100 I am most definitely believe that she got pregnant on purpose and he viewed her as pure because she was a virgin when he met her but to me other than that they didn’t really have a good connection he seems very forced but he should’ve told Nona And properly broke things off with her because she said he broke her heart and I actually think she was the most respectful along with his second ex-wife neither one has tried to capitalize off of his death and exploited him for money like his first ex-wife he’s doing I sympathize with her for losing a child but I can’t get behind her behavior she’s fake one moment she acts like he’s her soulmate and how much she missed him but then in the next breath she body shamed him even in death and completely denies ever having a child with him there is a comment that I put up of her saying that she didn’t have two children and that just really ticked me off with her she said that after he passed away I feel like Yes he did have his flaws he wasn’t perfect but neither was she he could’ve really called her out for what she was doing as well she was cheating too but he kept it professional and didn’t address her at all and she’s could’ve had the same respect for his wishes
@@briannaburch6737 If you listen to his song “Let’s Have a Baby” and read the lyrics... chile you might beg to differ. Sounded like he was ITCHING to get Mayte pregnant. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m sure she was more than happy to be getting the club shot up by an A-list celeb 😂😂 but poor Prince really wanted to be a dad. I agree with you though, their relationship was pretty trash outside of trying to have kids, which is probably why it fell apart.
I worked as a reservation manager at a 5 star hotel in Nyc..... Prince used to stay at the property and well he was respectful but very odd...... the stories I have to tell. He definitely kept me on my toes when he was there..
Ok...here’s one... when he would come to our property , we had to constantly come up with various alias’s, only once did he ever use his real name prince Rodgers. He used Alexander never mind, coco Chanel, and Groucho Marx. He would always get the presidential suite because the GM of the property really liked him and bent many rules for him and that suite had a baby grand piano in it. He had in several occasions book the room, have his giant tour bus parked in the driveway 🙄that would take up alllllll the space and caused chaos for the bellmen and other guest. After rearranging cabs and so forth he would then REFUSE auto leave the bus!!!! Yes refuse...however his chef would get a room because he traveled with his own food that would have to be stored in the purchasing Dept. Chick would have to walk into lobby and give his meal request..( regardless of the time! get all messages to his room and etc..... secondly if and when he did decide to come in to his room..... chick CARRIED him !!!!yes he never walked. And they used the service elevator 🤷🏾♀️... this hotel always had celebrities and no one ever used the service elevator... last but not least... that presidential suite was ALWAYS a dismantled ... he would have housekeeping actually take the bed and put the mattress on the floor, so the room had to be moved around and furniture taken out 🤷🏾♀️. He always like a certain type of rose in his room that the GM would put in his room.. during every visit that room had to be completely filled with these flowers like 50 60 arrangements. He shredded them all over the piano!!!! House keeping had to work overtime due to the cleaning process after he left!!! 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ I could go on forever lol..l but I admit I was here for the shit and shenanigans so I looked forward to his many visit over the years..that’s all folks 💕..... love you Ashley ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@cjjarvis88 What that heck he was definitely a bougie 🤑bossy lil tyrant doing all of that rearranging just 😳 so he could be treated like a lil King 👑 All of that makes no sense and I agree that is very odd egotistical behavior I hope the job was worth it though The time and 💰 Because that’s not easy but thank you so much for sharing I like him flaws and all it shows a more realistic side of him though 👌👍 But very superficial everything had to be perfect according to him but R.I.P 🪦to the Minneapolis genius He was one of the 🐐Nonetheless
I thought I remembered hearing that the medication Prince last took was supplied by his person physician and delivered by said physician’s son. The son wasn’t a doctor nor was he authorized administer the medication. Additionally, it was a crime for him to transport these meds across state lines. Seems like a cover-up with a lot of moving pieces. 👀
I have loved Prince for over 30 years and his music has helped me get through some horrible times in my life.Prince had hip replacement surgery and was in severe pain for a very long time , that is why he took pain meds (per Sheila E). When he ordered Mayte's things to be removed and burned , Amir's ashes were ACCIDENTALLY removed also(per Mayte). Prince tried to help Lauryn Hill when she went to jail for tax evasion. He also donated lots of money to several charities, but was very private about it. What I don't understand is why Michael Jackson's doctor was bought up on charges after his death , but not Prince's Doctor's son who allegedly was the one who delivered the drugs. Why isn't anyone talking about Judith Hill and the fact that she was dating Prince before he died and was on the plane when he overdosed. She was also with Michael Jackson a few days before he died and was his backup singer for his last tour. She was going to sing the duet with him " I just can't stop loving you" and you can see her in the MJ movie "This is It". Why was Prince cremated so fast and then the media said it was because of his religion..Not True! Warner Bros put him through hell and many things people believed were strange it was really him being a Genius. He changed his name to a symbol to get out of his record contract. He started wearing the heels because if his complex about his height, but also to be different. He used sexuality because that got him the attention he needed. If you notice he toned it down once everyone saw how incredible he was and started taking him serious. He taught himself how to play every instrument. He was a very powerful man and I believe he was killed
I agree I believe he was murdered no doubt about that especially with the last message that he left just when you thought you were safe it seem like a warning to me He knew something was going to happen to him
I believe if Prince was an addict for decades, we would have heard about it way before now. Too many people swear he didnt do drugs. If it was true they could have sold those stories. When the internet came out you couldn't keep ish quiet. I don't care how private you are.
@@VeveMuse He sure did. What was the name of the album that he released online only? Prince was smart and everyone thought he was crazy. Just like they're just realizing why he changed his name temporarily.
You did a great job once again Ashley! Sheila E said that Prince was in a lot of pain due to performing over the years. All that flipping around in 4 inch heels put a lot of wear and tear on his body. She tried to convince him to get his back adjusted but he wouldn’t. RIP KING PRINCE ❤️ 👑
Sooooooooooo it's been said by someone who was in Prince's or Nona Gaye's camp at the time that originally Nona thought that she and Prince were headed towards Holy Matrimony. This could be because of either how she perceived their relationship to be or what he led her to believe. Either way it goes, this person said Nona Gaye found out that Prince married Mayte by way of the media. She was extremely crushed. So not only was Prince dating Mayte and Carmen Electra at the same time, but he was also dating Nona Gaye as well. It was rumored that he also dated actress Kirstie Alley around that time as well. We might as well call Prince a circus act because that man surely knew how to juggle!
Take the tour of Prince's home. I did and was so overwhelmed with how you could feel him there. I literally touched his clothes, his piano...it was the most amazing thing I've ever done. Just be warned...you WILL cry.
That's exactly why I haven't been.. no one that i know likes Prince as much as i did..i needed someone to go with me.. because my nerves would have tore into pieces... only seen Prince once...i cried almost two years.. could not make a comment about him with out wipeing tears i have never cried over any artist.. as much as i cried when he left this world
At age 14 Purple Rain was the first movie I ever went to without a parent/grown person. A group of about 10 friends, male and female, went to see it together. But, as many concerts and live shows as I've been to in my life, I regret that I never saw Prince perform live. Ugh!
Susan Moonsie (Black/Indian Mix from Vanity 6) was before Vanity and briefly afterwards as well.....When doves Cry was written about her. He left Susan for Vanity in fact
@@Andrianicoledaily There was Susan got mad at Prince for Basically putting her in the side chick position while he wined and dined Vanity and Jill Jones as well as Ola Ray and Susanna Melvoin he had a harem of women Pretty much all the time 😩😬 So I’m sure there was a lot of fighting going on behind the scenes
@@thephoenix6120 That’s not surprising at all they were all sharing him basically willingly they knew about each other and they went along with it so 😬🤔🤷🏽♀️
Great how our girl from Niagara Falls, Ontario , Canada , Denise Matthews - Beautiful Vanity left Prince. She was one of the most beautiful women and deserved better. Sad she passed also in 2016. Regards, Jay Balvin
@@justme8201 - Denise Katrina Matthews (January 4, 1959 - February 15, 2016), known professionally as Vanity, was a Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, model, and actress who turned away from her music and acting career to concentrate on evangelism. Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, dancer, actor, and director.
I DO BELIEVE that Prince wanted to be portrayed as mixed race!! Heck even in the movie "Purple Rain" he was MIXED RACE, WITH AN ITALIAN MOTHER AND A BLACK DAD!!
@Stone Cold Yeah I SAID WHAT I SAID!! Now go watch Maury Povich and you'll learn that "LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING" HONEY!!😉 My son APPEARS MIXED AS WELL, but he ISN'T (IT'S Ancestral mixture of Irish blood on both sides) thus the VERY fair skin, freckles, and red-haired! But he's NOT MIXED!!😏 Go study a little more about DNA (no not Dana!)
@Stone Cold it's apparent that you think that light skin is the right skin!! Actually I'm "light-skinned" but to White races I'm just another "N-word" and so it is with mixed heritage as well! Ur crazy if think ppl will give Prince points for being 40% white? I guess u never heard of the one-drop of blood ruling huh??🤷
@Stone Cold ps...You can stop POSING AS A BLACK PERSON NOW THAT I'VE SPOTTED U OUT!! UR THAT RACIST TROLL ON BLACK MEDIA PAGES, SENT BY TRUMPANZEES TO STIR UP CHAOS!! MOVE ON AND KICK ROCKS!
Vanity said Prince was the only man she ever loved and he was the love of her life and she hoped fate would bring them together again and Prince said she was the female reflection of him when he looked at her it was like looking in the mirror I believe they were soulmates and they were reunited after death
@@fedoramcclaren4294 I am most definitely agree she passed on the same day that his mother passed but 14 years Later I definitely believe that he should’ve married her I think she would’ve been the right woman for him Flaws and all
This is my first time seeing a death photo of prince and I’m glad you put the warning sign up , I was going to keep my head turned but I just saw he looks like a sleeping beauty I just to tell myself that he’s sleeping eternally. But as always I enjoyed your content I never get bored! Thank you Ashley for always keeping us entertained! 🙌🏽😭❤️✨
And I used to love Dave's weekly tv show. I would rush home because I didn't want to miss it. It was so funny; I would laugh so hard until I would have to hold my stomach. After a while, I noticed that something was different. It wasn't funny to me anymore. I noticed changes. I still don't know what happened to/on that program.
Alexander O'Neill also said the same thing about Prince's colorism. I lived in the 80s and 90s, and Prince definitely promoted colorism in his dating, marriages and video images. Still loved his music ❤
@@rodb66 as long as Prince didn’t talk bad about dark skin women who cares who was in his bed. Some ppl like dark only and some ppl like light only. Whatever your preference is.just like height and weight
@@Kickinthescience Prince wasn't the type to talk bad about people like that. We only started hearing male entertainers talking bad about dark skinned black women from people like Kodak Black.
I’ll never forget my parents going to see Purple Rain w me at a drive thru....For years I never knew what happened in that basement or at the lake...I thank you for this one💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Ashley, IDK how true this is, but a friend of mine who used to be a back up dancer to several artists back in the day, told me that there was one relationship that Prince had that has always remained secret--not because HE tried to hide her, but because SHE was older, better known and a "star" at the time. However, it was supposedly well-known within their small orbit. Her name--Donna Summer!
Like I said, IDK how true that is. My friend is a Prince FANATIC! However, she and I are both PRO black love! I pointed out to her that we all tended to give him a pass on that score because the ONLY brown skinned woman he was connected to was Nona Gaye--and he kept HER under wraps but was quick to trot out the non-black women. Then there are the rumors of HIM trying to pass as bi-racial. That's when she told me the Donna Summer story. And, she said it wasn't him who wanted it kept secret; it was HER. And, because she had been in the industry, I figured she might be privy to that info.
I don’t believe that at all I do believe he was shady but I don’t think that he would fire people for looking at him badly or just looking at him in general I don’t think he was that shallow
@@briannaburch6737 he definitely was. I rarely hear nice stories of him with people. Usual,y always something shady. I mean just listen to the ping pong story with MJ, that alone convinced me he was the problem.
@@briannaburch6737 Michael was not shady at all though lmao. He was very kind, treated everyone he worked with, with class and respect. Many of his employees have crossed him and even them he never confronted them, or even immediately fired them. It's probably because MJ wasn't selfish and was more humble, Prince always thought he was above people, and acted like it lmao. I mean that ping pong story says a lot.
I felt that. I had heard about the evil referring to the dark side of his music and witch craft so I discontinued listening to him. However he left this world and I was up on a ladder cleaning ceiling tiles when I got the news of his passing and I knelt down on the top of the ladder and wept. My whole team was like wth they ain't never seen me upset or cry. They actually though I was laughing at one of my little silly jokes on my mind. When they saw the tears and my face they all helped me off the ladder and I left for the rest of the day. My whole team and dm was like 👀😕😳🙄🤦🏽. It was a random time and to them very random happening but we grew up on prince and he was a friend of the family way back when. Crazy thing my dad told me I look just like him a month ago he said I was beautiful like prince... I'm a single woman and didn't k ow how I should take that lmao but I know dad knowing prince meant it out of love lol. Prince was beautiful and I hope he repented smh. I wept because of the pain I could see in his eyes for so long.
@@aprilmay-jackson7469 it's off the Batman soundtrack. She was the leading lady in the original movie. The song is dope...you can hear her mostly in the end.
@@nicoleclement6341 ...AAAAND, on the 12" version, there is a version called the "Scandalous Sex Suite", where Prince brings Kim to his Mansion, and..... It's in 3 PARTS! ('The Crime', 'The Passion' (where Kim moans longer), & 'The Rapture')....
That is why I just appreciate the musicians talent and the music, not the personality or life of the musician. Just because you love there music doesn’t mean you have to love the person, just there genius. Prince, James Brown, Rick James, Michael Jackson etc. all geniuses, but strange and mentally unstable humans beings probably due to some past trauma or upbringing.
As a huge fanatic of Prince you did an AMAZING job narrating the great and late Prince. After my brother referred me to watch this and give my feedback. I told him I subscribed shortly afterwards. Keep up the great work.
Prince and mayte were pregnant with a baby girl before they lost their son in 96. She was several months when she miscarried. If you watch the 1992 Blue light video, she was pregnant with their first child. Love You Ashley!
I heard that she got pregnant again AFTER they lost their son. Because of the miscarriage, they drifted apart, because Prince felt they weren’t meant to be if they couldn’t have kids.
@@keemafarrow2893 There's a RUclips video of Nona Gaye speaking on how she was mistreated @ a Prince party, and felt it was because of her skin color. Nona is beautiful, just because she's beautiful...Complexion is irrelevant. P. S. There's also RUclips video of Mayte talking about her babes. She said she was suicidal after pretending her baby was alive when he wasn't. 😩
Not only did Rick James say that Prince didn't want to be 🚫Black singer Alexander O'Neal said it as well!!👱♂️ But both of them were CRACKED OUT ADDICTS AT THE TIME SOOO🤪🤦🏽♀️??
They still could be telling the TRUTH. Whether they cracked out or not. I can believe that Prince said he didn't wanna be BLACK. I always gotten that vibe from him. I still like Prince but I can see it.
@@shante70sb I just think he didn’t want to be Box into one genre He could’ve used different word verbiage though But I understand what he was saying plus Alexander was arrogant himself He referred to himself in the third Person Alexander’s not gonna do this and Alexander’s not gonna do that and where is the money in that rub prince the wrong way
Bayyybbbyyyy! Prince was my man! I went to EVERY concert he had when he came near Flint, MI! I had posters, wore purple all the time! I am now 54 and those were fantastic memories!!!
Ashley, you did a good job with this! I've been a Prince fan for a long time. Most of what you said I have read over the years myself. I also read Mayte's book. The only thing I didn't hear in this video was the rumors concerning Prince's mother. I really wish I knew more about his mother. Yet, there are rumors that were in a book I read several years ago talking about Prince had a very complicated relationship with his mother. Supposedly, his mother was a "good time woman" and Prince loved and hated her for it. That was supposedly part of the reason why his mother and father couldn't along. The rumor is that when Prince's father met her she was already like that and he liked that she was a fun lady. But, it caused problems later in the marriage because he thought she was going to settle down and be the traditional wife and mother and she didn't want to. His father thought he could do what he wanted to do (different women, alcohol, lots of late-night gigs, and not really be responsible to his family)...but that his wife would be the traditional type. Basically like Joe Jackson...the difference is Prince's mother was no Katherine. And it didn't work out. Supposedly, that is the beginning of why he had a toxic and messed-up view of women. He loved but also almost hated women because of the power that came from their sexuality. There are supposedly early songs that Prince did discussing this but no one can say for sure if they were really about his mother or not. I don't remember the specific songs mentioned in the book though. Sorry. Basically, it is said that both of Prince's parents were supposedly kind of narcissistic and were more focused on their own needs and couldn't really be the parents Prince needed. I'm not sure what they were like with Tyka. But, Prince craved attention and he didn't get it. His mother wasn't the nurturing type.
Yes his sister said the same thing about their mother that she wasn’t the nurturing type of mother And his own memoir he said that his parents Would get into physical altercations and he would be brought in to the middle of it and used as a buffer and it would make him feel very unstable and emotionally drained also it’s been said that prince was molested by the older woman who was caught in his bed at 12 years old and that she was his father’s girlfriend and as well as one of his sisters when he was sixteen years old He seems like he grew up in a emotionally unstable environment and when he got older he didn’t know how to handle hardships like grief and loss Or anything like that regarding women
1. The used condom Carmen allegedly sent Prince, is mentioned in the song, "One of Your Tears." 2. Prince never said he had influenza. He said, he had "flu-like symptoms." 3. Prince was suicidal. He was constantly talking about death. It was so intense, Tyka thought he was dying. 4. In 1999, Prince told us about his pill addiction in the song, "My Little Pill." 5. In 2014, in the song, "The Breakdown," Prince sang about being intoxicated and experiencing blackouts. Prince spent most of his adult like chasing Vanity's image. When she died, it sent him over the edge. He was also struggling with the fact that he would never father children. Prince no longer cared about the vault or recording new material, because he didn't have any children to pass his legacy to.
HEY I know this is a old video and this is a old comment but was something wrong with prince? I guess I mean why could he never have children? Was it a preference after mayte or a medical reason?
@@dianabryan7421 I believe Prince had a medical condition that prevented him from fathering children. It's been said that his SECOND wife had TWO miscarriages.
First off, I'm not finna be with no man that is prettier than me. I'm sorry but I'm just not gon do it. Second, Ashley, I love your hair! So beautiful. And lastly, Prince was a special kind of someone that clearly had the gift of gab and I love how secretive he was with his personal life, because all this tea you just gave me was all kinds of new news. Thanks Ashley 😊.
The woman that Prince's father caught him with was allegedly the father's gf Prince and Andre's fathers were in a band together years before Prince and Andre were born Prince and Morris Day were childhood friends and former band mates. It's been rumored that they were actually cousins "Scandalous" is the song featuring Kim Basinger's moans. Vanity and Prince worked on the screenplay to Purple Rain. Vanity's moans are in the movie. You could often see Prince's "member" through his revealing clothes. Prince was with Mayte and Nona at the same time and they both got pregnant, allegedly There are rumors that Prince is the father of Nona's son (even though she denies this) and that Mayte's son was NOT Prince's son Prince's mother, Mattie, died on February 15, 2002 and Vanity died on February 15, 2016 Prince seemed to more fully embrace his blackness as he aged. Prince was extremely hurt and depressed about the death of Michael Jackson and even defended him when he was accused of being a child molester. Prince, Michael Jackson, and Marvin Gaye all seemed to know exactly how and when they were going to die.
Powerful facts and interesting rumors. You nailed a lot here. I believe that was Vanity moaning /crying backwrds in Purple Rain on the tape he played for Apollonia. On the extras of Purple Rain, Wendy said to Lisa it's rumored Prince wrote "Darling Nikki" about his mother (bleeped out but you can read her lips). I don't know if Prince had an actual 'situation' with his mother but she could have inspired the song from her alleged porn collection.
@@reimourrpower9357 Do you believe it was his father’s girlfriend he was caught with Because I do also he said his mother wasn’t nurturing to him I think he has mommy issues on top of that
Thanks Ashley for the great Prince bio. Like Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson, it seems that there was so much more for him to do and accomplish. It's a shame that so many of our talented people seem unable to deal with their success when it happens. I'm very happy that you're well again. Please stay safe and well Ashley.
I learned a lot and the fact that you were able to warned us first before you showed the pictures I appreciate that warning. Thank you so much I was waiting for this video.
So happy to see you Sister I'm so glad your health is back in order!!! Now my family lived across the Street from Prince's Parents/childhood home. Still does.
I woulda pretend I dont know him and tell him about how poor I am. If he had ever knock on my door. I wont be like omg are u prince? No I would invite him in and lay my problems on his lap, maybe he woulda send me some anonymous funds.
I enjoyed this video. Prince was a gem, a musical genius who was taken from us too soon. Thank you for sharing more information about him! Thank you for the warning about the graphic photos appearing.
Just stumbled upon your page and chiiiiiiiiiile....I AM HOOOOOOOOOOKED!!!! Whew! I been binge watching LITERALLY ALL WEEKEND!! You're so dope! I love your energy! I feel like I'm face timing with my bestie getting AAAALLLL the hot, extra sweet tea!!
I saw Shelia E in concert 3 times and had told us how Prince proposed to her, but he didn't want her to pursue a solo career. She has a guy in her band that looks just like Prince except he's taller. We went crazy over that boy.
I'd heard years ago that his 1st major hit (I wanna be your lover) was written about Patrice Rushen, who he'd had a mad crush on at the time. She however, wasn't interested. You forgot about Apollonia, who it's rumored he'd messed with during and after the making of "Purple Rain".
@@nifo4093 Prince dated Appollonia from 1983 to 1984. That's so well known all one would have to is google it. To quote: " It was when Vanity decided to drop out of Prince's 1984 film Purple Rain that the singer met his next protegee turned lover, 24-year-old Mexican model Patricia Apollonia Kotero."
Ashley I know I’m late but I’m from Minneapolis, we always heard that the grown woman that his dad found him with was his big sister who was in her late 20s when he was 12, and that’s why he kicked him out, he blamed prince. His older sister was living with him at the moment.
I thought it was when he was 16 that he was taken advantage of by one of his half sister but it was a grown woman in his bed when he was 12 or 13 years old He said he begged to come back home but his father said no and he moved to 18 different places Before the Anderson’s took him in he was pretty much homeless
I seen Prince at the Paramount theater in Seattle about 17 years ago. I walk to the stage standing next to this couple we were all dancing and prince ask this white guy that had the number one seat in the house he asked him would he still give up your seat to a beautiful black woman right there and pointed to me!!!! Oh my God the bodyguard lifted me up over this bar I’m standing right in front of the stage and Prince is singing to me!!!! 💜💜💜💜🎤🎶. But before that Prince had the white guy who gave up his seat to me Prince had him come on the stage and sit where all these beautiful pillow where. It was the 2nd best Prince story I have.🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜
Prince’s death is just too fishy. Even the way he was cremated ASAP just doesn’t make sense. I believe he was either killed, or is alive somewhere on an island living as an expat. 😂 He was private, after all.
I definitely have been saying that there’s no way that he would’ve been able to put himself in the elevator with that much in his system and how he was cremated very quickly I definitely believe he was killed it was just two years after he got his catalog back from Warner Brothers
Word. He always said he wanted to make a lot of music, so that He could rest. I believe WB did it, cuz he got his masters back. No more milk'n the cow.
@@yvonneharris4863 Yes my thoughts exactly hid death was not an accident And he would not commit suicide I believe he was murdered by Warner Also the last message he left on his Instagram just when you thought you were safe that sounds like a warning to me
@@DanFreeman723 On her Unsung she said they didn't date. And that if that song was about her she didn't know, she'd always looked at it as a rumor. She just programmed his keyboards for one of his early albums She wasn't interested in him like that lol
@@thephoenix6120 I know I just think he had a big crush on her I don’t believe they did dated either Although I believe they should have I don’t think she would’ve put up with his womanizing though
@@briannaburch6737 I think they would've been a brilliant couple. But Prince and his womanizing ways smh He was also trying to get at Latoya Jackson around this time so Patrice definitely dodged a bullet. That man left a trail of broken hearts everywhere he went . No woman could ever compete with the love of his life which was his music.
@@thephoenix6120 I definitely agree with that also after he passed she was asked who her celebrity crush was and surprisingly she said prince which I found very 🤔
MJ was a much nicer guy no stories on him treating people like crap and he was famous with the spotlight on him longer. Please do a video on The King of POP Michael Jackson
MJ did his Brother Jermaine wrong about an album/song after the Jackson brothers did and during their final tour together hell MJs brother were scandalous themselves chile
Well I guess when he's a perfectionist and he wrote, produced, arranged, designed and play all of the instruments on his music and it's his legacy, then it's his way or no way..I feel that..Mike may have been in the spotlight eatlier but he wasn't a musician and people often wrote for him..he needed people to help make music..Prince didn't. Prince was a true musician! No disrespect to Mike but it's no comparison..
I'm a prince fan and have been for a very long time. And like everyone else I was saddened about his death. I appreciate you doing a story on him because it's a lot I didn't know. So yes, thanks for the info. Not to take anything away from the prince . But wow, I love your red nails!! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep listening. Thanks again 👍👍
Everyone who knows me , Know I love Prince!! You did an excellent job with this. I appreciate all that went into this one. And it posted on my Birthday!!! How cool is that!! Thank you!!!
Anyone ever watch Mike Judge presents Tales from the tour bus? That show is how I found A lot of Dudes hated Prince's guts back then.... Even Morris Day... Prince was one hated little man...🤭
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S GOING SO FAST! This is part of the trouble i was having with editing😬
😤😤Yall, this video truly took blood, sweat, and tears. Like I cried forreal, no joke lol. My editing software messed up for 3 days and even when I thought it was fixed it still didn't work.

She was 16 when they met
😹😹😹🤦♀️
Right! He was giving her the PLANK, pine and remedy! 😂
I think it’s kind of cool that it was hard to get details on Prince’s life. That speaks a lot of the loyalty of the people who surrounded him.
Yeah and especially after making people sign those NDAs, NDAs would make people loyal. You would get sued for tattling on what you saw or knew about him. Prince was a smart man. You wanna be my friend? Well, you better "sign this' I still like Prince though
Shame after he past
they could talk then
no one really knew what was going on with him..O Please
That loyalty killed him. Had the ppl close to him not enabled it...
@@dorisblackwell9586 - It depends on how the NDA was written. I doubt anything at that point in his career was in his personal name. A business man like Prince was a corporation. Those people worked for Prince, Inc.
ge didn't tell all he knew to anyone.
I think Prince lost his mind when his child passed away. He was a control freak and could not control the death of his son. During this time some really shady people slipped into his inner circle.
Yes I definitely believe he did it He look truly broken 😔 But he kept writing music and he wrote a few songs In honor of his son
Prince was a narcissist, 🤔🤷♀️🤦♀️🥺🧐😰😭😭😭
@@Dhunt118 No he wasn’t he was emotionally guarded and misunderstood due to his Traumatic childhood he cared a great deal for people and their feelings But these are pretty much rumors that are mentioned in this video especially regarding his son
@@Dhunt118 All entertainers are narcissist. They have to believe that they are the best. If he didn't he would have not been the legend we know and love.
Jade Gossip, Dude been lost his mind way before that!
I love how mysterious and shady prince was. 🕵🏻♂️
Yea I like the mysterious parts 😉🤷♀️
Good way to explain Prince and I did too!
YES! He thru the best shade😹😹😹
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 😎😎yes he did.. and didn't care either 🤣
Me too
I met Prince in the late 90's when he was a symbol. He complemented my outfit & appearance. For the after party, he performed at the club called Egypt in Philadelphia, PA. What a great show & after party! RIP 💘
What do you look like?
Are you black?
What do they do at After Parties? I've never been to one
Pricilla Boykin . You don’t or didn’t get out much am I correct??
Wow, that's an awesome story, you're lucky!!!! My sister and I looked for the after party and couldn't find it, before cell phones were so available. My bf was also waiting for us. I really wish I could've went to that party!! But the concert was awesome!!!!! ❤️
Bruh being strangers in your own home is ruthless...that’s a different kinda pain
Your name is dope.
The opioid addiction originates from the fact that Prince had arthritic hips from all those years of dancing and jumping off risers in those high heels. He even had surgery at one point. Also, the song "I Wanna be Your Lover " was made as a tribute to musician Patrice Rushen, another multi instrument playing prodigy. Although she was a few years older he was quite infactuated with her as she taught him a great deal about studio engineering and other aspects of the music business.
Yeah and he broke his ankle during rehearsal! He became addicted to pain meds
I remember listening to the radio years ago, and they announced that Prince had just gotten married but Nona was still living in his house. It's one thing to have your man come home and put you out, it's another for him to bring his new wife with him. Absolutely humiliating😩😩
Prince allegedly got on pain pills from messing his hip up by dancing and jumping off those speakers with those heels 👠 on!!
😅🤸♂️🕺
Yeah... and he couldn’t have hip replacements because he would need a blood transfusion afterwards. And by him being Jehovah’s Witness, receiving blood transfusions is against their faith. But his had killer pain in his hips.... so he got addicted to the pain pills to deal with the pain
Lol and the heels were very high.
@@nancisam8305 girl honey child..wen he would walk out on stage or to any awards he walked in them stilettos 👠👠likka ballerina 🧚♂️..wish I cud where heels like dat..child i will be dwn on the ground I'll stick to my flats😁🥿🥿👟👟
Did he really had AIDS.
“Vanity turned into INSANITY” 😂😂😂 FACTS!
😂
Ashley is cray 😜🤣🤣😂
And turn into a Pastor I believe
Well, you can't play with a woman''s emotions like that, and still expect them to carry on unaffected. This is the very reason why many black women get the unfair label of "angry black woman", when most have no clue what she's had to go through or put up with, from being with a certain "man". When she has been your backbone, seen you through your worst and still stays there for you, and suddenly, the man cheats on you with someone else, knocks you up and then "isn't ready to be a father", he's "just not ready to settle down", or suddenly becomes wealthy and "headed in a different direction"...what woman wouldn't feel used up, bitter and disrespected? At least Vanity turned to religion, because she could have gotten ahold of some hot grits or something.
“I Wanna Be Your Lover” was allegedly written because Prince was in love with Patrice Rushen(“Forget Me Knots”).
I also heard he wrote i feel 4 u becuz of his crush on her.
@@sirjer73 Interesting I did not know that.
Yep
Never knew that what about darling Nikki?
@@balindashepherd6412 Oh Idk about Darling Nikki, But I would love to hear the back story on that song though.
i always felt like Prince's promiscuous ways was some type of overcompensating. Maybe for his height, maybe for the gay rumors. Inviting new spirits in your private zone is drainng after a while and feels hollow
I think the way he was taught about sex in relationships was on a very superficial level his mother would give him pornography to read Also he was engaging in sexual nature at a very early age by the age of 12 caught with a grown woman allegedly so His mind is going to be warped and consumed with sex He even admitted that on the Chris rock interview he viewed youth and beauty as the most important but overall it was very superficial because women aren’t perfect people aren’t perfect but that’s at the level of perfectionism he had to uphold in his own Mind
agreed. I also believe that being around taller charismatic brothers like Andre Cymone, Morris Day, Dez Dickerson, BrownMark, etc. made it so Prince had to compete and establish his alpha male power. 'I'm short but I can play music and basketball better than y'all tall dudes. And I can pull the best women...'
@@reimourrpower9357 It was some of that but I believe with him being caught with that grown woman at 12 It really warped his mind and he even said at 10 years old his mother would Intentionally leave explicit Adult material for him to read All of this played a part and there’s more to the story about the song he wrote called sister allegedly he was molested by one of his sisters when he was 16 and she was in her 30s
You hit it dead on. A lot of people don't realize that sex is a spiritual act. The more people you have sex with the more spirits enter into you
@@youlandaanderson5111 very true 💯👍
Both his parents are black and from Louisiana... he never had a problem with being black... he just wanted to venture into other non black genres...
That’s just what I thought he wanted to be free to Venture out and do different genres I don’t think he was ashamed of being black at all
He did not want to be defined as just a Black Artist. He wanted to reach a Broader Audience which sells more Records. It used to be called Crossover.
For real. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 He was one of the first celebrities to unequivocally and unapologetically say, Black Lives Matter. I'm a Black woman, from Minneapolis and never got the impression he had internalized antiBlackness. My good friend since elementary is the daughter of Andre Simone (Anderson) and she has never said any family rumors that would lead me to believe he was tryna not be Black. He just didn't fit in nobody's boxes for anything.
I also remember when our only Black radio station was gonna close for being broke. It went off air and by the time school was out we had KMOJ back on air for the ride home cause Prince stepped in and quietly put up the money. They are still in business today.
Right 😂😂😂😂😂 if you want to believe that I've got couple magic beans to sell you
I heard he locked himself in his room for days when he heard Michael Jackson passed....
Eddie Murphy too...
I never heard Prince say anything negative about Micheal except the time Michael wanted him in his Bad video.
They were frieneimes. They loved and respected each others work, but still had that small twinge of competition between them.
He loved Michael Jackson as a artist and respect
@@sherinalindsey-stewart4252 The way I understand it...Michael didn't like Prince. He was upset about the Bad situation among other things. What people don't realize is that MJ and Prince crossed paths quite a bit early on in their careers. Prince also had a crush on LaToya at one point. LaToya wasn't interested at all though. So, that bothered Michael. I think Michael was just an extra sensitive person and lots of things seemed to bother him. Prince had more of a "I don't give a s__t" personality. And that was alarming to Michael. I read that Michael would say Prince was "mean". Also, it is said Michael couldn't understand Prince's popularity because he wasn't as much of a traditional dancer. Michael attributed true talent with singing and traditional dancing ability (kind of like what you think of when you think of The Temptations, Sammy Davis Jr, James Brown)...he thought that type of dancing was talent. Michael couldn't understand what people saw in Prince's music. Also, he said he didn't like the way Prince talked about women in his music. Clearly, Michael was very uncomfortable with anything to do with sexuality in Prince's music. This has been noted many times. Supposedly, Prince on the other hand was less concerned with Michael. I think they both grew to have more of an appreciation for each others' contributions to music when they got older.
@@lisacox3750 things were way different, matter of fact Michael Jacksons father Joe gave Prince dap and Prince spent time with Michael Jackson mother Katherine and it was respectful,musically they respected and checked out one Another and they both had to deal with racism and politics in the industry and both spoke out on it,they both had their flaws and shortcomings like us all and both were sensitive and wanted control, Michael Jackson and Prince had the same cold cut your throat attitude that Michael Jordan had,best believe you don't last long in that business being soft
I remember when Cynthia Horner said Prince's eyes were a 10, and she didn't lie. His eyes were just gorgeous.
I always loved his eyes!! 💜 💜💜💜
Yes those beautiful greenish hazel eyes 😍🔥
Yesss that man was so beautiful his eyes were dreamy
@@vminajj1267 Yes you’re right his eyes 👀 were so dreamy and beautiful 😻
Naturally green and they looked right through you

Lmfaoooooo
Prince's actions later proved that he felt that he should tone down the sexual content.
Prince's hair STAYED laid! And how many women WISH they could work it in heels the way Prince could? LOL Jumping off tall speakers, straight into a split, then right up... all while playing his guitar. Now that's skills, AND in heels!
my straight hair natural goals
And he paid dearly for those stunts by having his hip replaced. It wasn't worth it....
I love these videos. It helps show that even celebrities are regular people. People need to stop idolizing them.
That really only helps the idolization. Did you forget? Celebrities have been around since the beginning of time. Before colonization, and will continue to.
Yes indeed!!! I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This was great. I have to say, every Black artist that mentions him says how supportive he was of them. Like a godfather type. He did love Black people and Black music.
Yes, agree!
.....except black women. 🙄
Well there was one... Nona Gay. He dumped her for Mayte. She didn't even know Prince and her were no longer together until Mayte flashed her ring in her face per Nona.

Psst, Ashley told us in Rick James's video!! Good stuff
Well... I WAS trying to go to sleep....but.... heyyy y'all 👋🏾😂
I'm old enough to remember when Prince first came out our local radio station would not play Prince's music until after 9pm. That's how risque and controversial he was.
Yup that Dirty Mind album...smh very dirty..
Yes an album with songs about incest and oral sex are risque, but I love Prince anyway.

Thank you! The title of the song was to back up the comment.🥴I was having a moment.
I did notice in the last decade of his career how pro-Black he got.
Great points & and story, thank you for sharing. I have a favor I'd like to ask you Ms. *Unchain your Brain* : if possible could you present your retalling of how Prince said live in concert he apologized for "not repping Black women" and was "influenced haevily by Hollywood". I made a state below about 3 posts that Prince was "colorist" and that he favored white women early in his career. But as you said he changed and showed much love to sisters later, hiring them in bands and having them star in his videos. Thank you whatever you decide to do.
@@reimourrpower9357 ...Sure.He stopped the music and was very candid in saying that it was never his idea to exclude black women and that his team thought it was best for his career and it was something he regret...and tbh it makes sense because his first crush was a woman named Patrice?She was a R&B singer.I believe it was Patrice Rushen.One of his closest friend was Tamron Hall.So I do believe his relationship with Mayte was manufactured by his handlers as well as majority of his relationships that were seen..I hope I answered your question.
Ms. Ashley you stepped on to sacred ground with this one. Prince is my musical sanctuary.. been listening to his music for over 35 years. Prince was a musical genius..an electrifying performer..in his later years a social activist. But.... Prince was messy af. An egotistical control freak...a womanizer.. alas.... Prince was human

Overall Prince was a Gemini through and through lol 💜🕊🙌🏾
@@sistamaryclarence lol... so true
@@janeeyre9427 you are correct. Flaws and all. I've never believed the satanic b.s. I remember that gossip even before I actually got into him as a musician. A lot of my spiritual journey and growth actually sprouted from his music. Racial acceptance of others and self awareness of social issues and where I fit in the world. All were affected by his music
Prince was a very narcissistic man.

Growing up listening to Prince in the 80s, we were led to believe that Prince shunned alcohol and drugs.
I've followed Prince for 35+ years. We (high school friends) all told our parents we were at each other's house while sleeping outside the arena for great tickets. Scored tickets so close we could see his flawless pores.That concert set the tone for EVERY concert that followed. I've been a fan FOREVER and followed his career, interviews, concerts, etc. Prince said jumping off pianos and speakers caused him to have a lot of pain in his hips and knees. He "didn't want to perform unless he could give his fans the full (Prince) experience". I believe that's why he started using the pain meds. I will say, he is the ONLY man in makeup and high heels that could have got it.😍 I loved his speaking voice and that he was elusive. The talent goes beyond saying...there are no words. 🎶 💜 -+> You were right, most die hard fans knew almost all of this. Nicely packaged though.👍🏾

They died two months After each other I truly believe vanity was his soulmate Even though she got married to somebody else none of her relationships ever work out because she always had a deep connection to him she prayed that they would be reunited In the afterlife she also passed on the same day that his mother passed I think he married Mayte because she was pregnant already and she was a virgin when he met her It didn’t seem like a genuine connection between them
That reality check been gone so she's been selling stories.
@@briannaburch6737 That's what the rumour is. I think it's the truth because with most shotgun weddings people swear they got pregnant on the honeymoon or a few weeks after.lol
@@renaissancewoman100 I am most definitely believe that she got pregnant on purpose and he viewed her as pure because she was a virgin when he met her but to me other than that they didn’t really have a good connection he seems very forced but he should’ve told Nona And properly broke things off with her because she said he broke her heart and I actually think she was the most respectful along with his second ex-wife neither one has tried to capitalize off of his death and exploited him for money like his first ex-wife he’s doing I sympathize with her for losing a child but I can’t get behind her behavior she’s fake one moment she acts like he’s her soulmate and how much she missed him but then in the next breath she body shamed him even in death and completely denies ever having a child with him there is a comment that I put up of her saying that she didn’t have two children and that just really ticked me off with her she said that after he passed away I feel like Yes he did have his flaws he wasn’t perfect but neither was she he could’ve really called her out for what she was doing as well she was cheating too but he kept it professional and didn’t address her at all and she’s could’ve had the same respect for his wishes
@@briannaburch6737 If you listen to his song “Let’s Have a Baby” and read the lyrics... chile you might beg to differ. Sounded like he was ITCHING to get Mayte pregnant. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m sure she was more than happy to be getting the club shot up by an A-list celeb 😂😂 but poor Prince really wanted to be a dad. I agree with you though, their relationship was pretty trash outside of trying to have kids, which is probably why it fell apart.
He came from 2 pretty people.❤
I worked as a reservation manager at a 5 star hotel in Nyc..... Prince used to stay at the property and well he was respectful but very odd...... the stories
I have to tell. He definitely kept me on my toes when he was there..
What happened share the 🍵 👀🤔
Can you post a few stories here?
@@queenkaili3243 Exactly I’m waiting 😬☺️
Ok...here’s one... when he would come to our property , we had to constantly come up with various alias’s, only once did he ever use his real name prince Rodgers. He used Alexander never mind, coco Chanel, and Groucho Marx. He would always get the presidential suite because the GM of the property really liked him and bent many rules for him and that suite had a baby grand piano in it. He had in several occasions book the room, have his giant tour bus parked in the driveway 🙄that would take up alllllll the space and caused chaos for the bellmen and other guest.
After rearranging cabs and so forth he would then REFUSE auto leave the bus!!!! Yes refuse...however his chef would get a room because he traveled with his own food that would have to be stored in the purchasing Dept. Chick would have to walk into lobby and give his meal request..( regardless of the time!
get all messages to his room and etc..... secondly if and when he did decide to come in to his room..... chick CARRIED him !!!!yes he never walked.
And they used the service elevator 🤷🏾♀️... this hotel always had celebrities and no one ever used the service elevator... last but not least... that presidential suite was ALWAYS a dismantled ... he would have housekeeping actually take the bed and put the mattress on the floor, so the room had to be moved around and furniture taken out 🤷🏾♀️. He always like a certain type of rose in his room that the GM would put in his room.. during every visit that room had to be completely filled with these flowers like 50 60 arrangements. He shredded them all over the piano!!!! House keeping had to work overtime due to the cleaning process after he left!!! 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ I could go on forever lol..l but I admit I was here for the shit and shenanigans so I looked forward to his many visit over the years..that’s all folks 💕..... love you Ashley ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@cjjarvis88 What that heck he was definitely a bougie 🤑bossy lil tyrant doing all of that rearranging just 😳 so he could be treated like a lil King 👑 All of that makes no sense and I agree that is very odd egotistical behavior I hope the job was worth it though The time and 💰 Because that’s not easy but thank you so much for sharing I like him flaws and all it shows a more realistic side of him though 👌👍 But very superficial everything had to be perfect according to him but R.I.P 🪦to the Minneapolis genius He was one of the 🐐Nonetheless
I thought I remembered hearing that the medication Prince last took was supplied by his person physician and delivered by said physician’s son. The son wasn’t a doctor nor was he authorized administer the medication. Additionally, it was a crime for him to transport these meds across state lines. Seems like a cover-up with a lot of moving pieces. 👀

@@FunnkDrummer Ok it was too funny!!!! @AshleySaysSo Needs to be on TV!!!!!!
I have loved Prince for over 30 years and his music has helped me get through some horrible times in my life.Prince had hip replacement surgery and was in severe pain for a very long time , that is why he took pain meds (per Sheila E). When he ordered Mayte's things to be removed and burned , Amir's ashes were ACCIDENTALLY removed also(per Mayte). Prince tried to help Lauryn Hill when she went to jail for tax evasion. He also donated lots of money to several charities, but was very private about it. What I don't understand is why Michael Jackson's doctor was bought up on charges after his death , but not Prince's Doctor's son who allegedly was the one who delivered the drugs. Why isn't anyone talking about Judith Hill and the fact that she was dating Prince before he died and was on the plane when he overdosed. She was also with Michael Jackson a few days before he died and was his backup singer for his last tour. She was going to sing the duet with him " I just can't stop loving you" and you can see her in the MJ movie "This is It". Why was Prince cremated so fast and then the media said it was because of his religion..Not True! Warner Bros put him through hell and many things people believed were strange it was really him being a Genius. He changed his name to a symbol to get out of his record contract. He started wearing the heels because if his complex about his height, but also to be different. He used sexuality because that got him the attention he needed. If you notice he toned it down once everyone saw how incredible he was and started taking him serious. He taught himself how to play every instrument. He was a very powerful man and I believe he was killed
I agree I believe he was murdered no doubt about that especially with the last message that he left just when you thought you were safe it seem like a warning to me He knew something was going to happen to him
I believe if Prince was an addict for decades, we would have heard about it way before now. Too many people swear he didnt do drugs. If it was true they could have sold those stories. When the internet came out you couldn't keep ish quiet. I don't care how private you are.
@@VeveMuse He sure did. What was the name of the album that he released online only? Prince was smart and everyone thought he was crazy. Just like they're just realizing why he changed his name temporarily.
@@renaissancewoman100 Yes indeed he was very smart especially about business
Did not know about Judith Hill, thanks will look her shady self up. You dropped some facts.
You did a great job once again Ashley! Sheila E said that Prince was in a lot of pain due to performing over the years. All that flipping around in 4 inch heels put a lot of wear and tear on his body.
She tried to convince him to get his back adjusted but he wouldn’t. RIP KING PRINCE ❤️ 👑
This makes me worried about Beyoncè! Does the same happen to her!?☹️
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 who cares... And besides her performing in heels is a personal choice....
I am sorry that Prince's life was so tragic . You did a great job with this !
Sooooooooooo it's been said by someone who was in Prince's or Nona Gaye's camp at the time that originally Nona thought that she and Prince were headed towards Holy Matrimony. This could be because of either how she perceived their relationship to be or what he led her to believe. Either way it goes, this person said Nona Gaye found out that Prince married Mayte by way of the media. She was extremely crushed. So not only was Prince dating Mayte and Carmen Electra at the same time, but he was also dating Nona Gaye as well. It was rumored that he also dated actress Kirstie Alley around that time as well. We might as well call Prince a circus act because that man surely knew how to juggle!
That's messed up if that's true
Your storytelling is the best! I won't watch to anyone else, they can't do it like you!
Yes, Ashley has a nice gift....so glad I found her channel. Her stories have made my life more enjoyable 😉.

Yess I am up wee hours in the morning and my girl Ashley just blessed us with an upload 🙌❤
Same.
Take the tour of Prince's home. I did and was so overwhelmed with how you could feel him there. I literally touched his clothes, his piano...it was the most amazing thing I've ever done. Just be warned...you WILL cry.
That's exactly why I haven't been.. no one that i know likes Prince as much as i did..i needed someone to go with me.. because my nerves would have tore into pieces... only seen Prince once...i cried almost two years.. could not make a comment about him with out wipeing tears
i have never cried over any artist.. as much as i cried when he left this world
At age 14 Purple Rain was the first movie I ever went to without a parent/grown person. A group of about 10 friends, male and female, went to see it together. But, as many concerts and live shows as I've been to in my life, I regret that I never saw Prince perform live. Ugh!
Susan Moonsie (Black/Indian Mix from Vanity 6) was before Vanity and briefly afterwards as well.....When doves Cry was written about her. He left Susan for Vanity in fact
I remember hearing this
Yeah Trini. Which is so weird. I wonder if there was a beef while they were in Vanity 6.
@@Andrianicoledaily There was Susan got mad at Prince for Basically putting her in the side chick position while he wined and dined Vanity and Jill Jones as well as Ola Ray and Susanna Melvoin he had a harem of women Pretty much all the time 😩😬 So I’m sure there was a lot of fighting going on behind the scenes
Rumor has it all his ladies would be on the same tour bus and he'd select which one he wanted for the night...
@@thephoenix6120 That’s not surprising at all they were all sharing him basically willingly they knew about each other and they went along with it so 😬🤔🤷🏽♀️
Great how our girl from Niagara Falls, Ontario , Canada , Denise Matthews - Beautiful Vanity left Prince. She was one of the most beautiful women and deserved better. Sad she passed also in 2016. Regards, Jay Balvin
Did she?! I thought she died in 2010 or something. And it seemed like Prince died last year!
@@justme8201 - Denise Katrina Matthews (January 4, 1959 - February 15, 2016), known professionally as Vanity, was a Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, model, and actress who turned away from her music and acting career to concentrate on evangelism.
Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, dancer, actor, and director.
Vanity was definitely the most beautiful woman of the 80s and one of the most beautiful of all time.
Rip to her she was a bright spirit
Prince looked so haunted in 2016 when Vanity passed. I got scared when he passed 2 months later.
I DO BELIEVE that Prince wanted to be portrayed as mixed race!! Heck even in the movie "Purple Rain" he was MIXED RACE, WITH AN ITALIAN MOTHER AND A BLACK DAD!!
Yeah he went a little too far with it. But Prince's mom went to the Purple Rain movie theater premiere and kinda blew his cover. 😂
@Stone Cold Yeah I SAID WHAT I SAID!! Now go watch Maury Povich and you'll learn that "LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING" HONEY!!😉 My son APPEARS MIXED AS WELL, but he ISN'T (IT'S Ancestral mixture of Irish blood on both sides) thus the VERY fair skin, freckles, and red-haired! But he's NOT MIXED!!😏 Go study a little more about DNA (no not Dana!)
@Stone Cold it's apparent that you think that light skin is the right skin!! Actually I'm "light-skinned" but to White races I'm just another "N-word" and so it is with mixed heritage as well! Ur crazy if think ppl will give Prince points for being 40% white? I guess u never heard of the one-drop of blood ruling huh??🤷
@Stone Cold ps...You can stop POSING AS A BLACK PERSON NOW THAT I'VE SPOTTED U OUT!! UR THAT RACIST TROLL ON BLACK MEDIA PAGES, SENT BY TRUMPANZEES TO STIR UP CHAOS!! MOVE ON AND KICK ROCKS!
@Stone Cold his parents were Creole. Creoles are a mixture by definition. But his parents identified as Black, and so did he.
Vanity said Prince was the only man she ever loved and he was the love of her life and she hoped fate would bring them together again and Prince said she was the female reflection of him when he looked at her it was like looking in the mirror I believe they were soulmates and they were reunited after death
Yes indeed...not only were they soul mates, but twin flames as well...
@@fedoramcclaren4294 I am most definitely agree she passed on the same day that his mother passed but 14 years Later I definitely believe that he should’ve married her I think she would’ve been the right woman for him Flaws and all

This is my first time seeing a death photo of prince and I’m glad you put the warning sign up , I was going to keep my head turned but I just saw he looks like a sleeping beauty I just to tell myself that he’s sleeping eternally. But as always I enjoyed your content I never get bored! Thank you Ashley for always keeping us entertained! 🙌🏽😭❤️✨
I was thinking that too. So pretty, even in death.
I don’t get why police released that. So sad.
I've been waiting for this prince video for the longest . Whenever I think of prince I think of the Dave chappelle show skit with Charlie murphy 🥞.
The Shirts Vs Blouses part always has me laughing every time especially the Mickey Free bit.
@@missfleming5465 "and then he served us pancakes"..true story😂😂😂

And I used to love Dave's weekly tv show. I would rush home because I didn't want to miss it. It was so funny; I would laugh so hard until I would have to hold my stomach. After a while, I noticed that something was different. It wasn't funny to me anymore. I noticed changes. I still don't know what happened to/on that program.
Alexander O'Neill also said the same thing about Prince's colorism. I lived in the 80s and 90s, and Prince definitely promoted colorism in his dating, marriages and video images. Still loved his music ❤
You're absolutely right, he did. I was a big fan of his even before he became mainstream but he did seem to have self hate.
@@rodb66 as long as Prince didn’t talk bad about dark skin women who cares who was in his bed. Some ppl like dark only and some ppl like light only. Whatever your preference is.just like height and weight
@@Kickinthescience Prince wasn't the type to talk bad about people like that. We only started hearing male entertainers talking bad about dark skinned black women from people like Kodak Black.

I’ll never forget my parents going to see Purple Rain w me at a drive thru....For years I never knew what happened in that basement or at the lake...I thank you for this one💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Ashley, IDK how true this is, but a friend of mine who used to be a back up dancer to several artists back in the day, told me that there was one relationship that Prince had that has always remained secret--not because HE tried to hide her, but because SHE was older, better known and a "star" at the time. However, it was supposedly well-known within their small orbit. Her name--Donna Summer!
😱😱 really?! Wow! Lol
Like I said, IDK how true that is. My friend is a Prince FANATIC! However, she and I are both PRO black love! I pointed out to her that we all tended to give him a pass on that score because the ONLY brown skinned woman he was connected to was Nona Gaye--and he kept HER under wraps but was quick to trot out the non-black women. Then there are the rumors of HIM trying to pass as bi-racial. That's when she told me the Donna Summer story. And, she said it wasn't him who wanted it kept secret; it was HER. And, because she had been in the industry, I figured she might be privy to that info.
@@laurahilton5632 aint his parents mixed with stuff?
I could see that. Donna had a lot of influence on him.
@@laurahilton5632 You cannot pass as biracial. Girl y’all are insane. 😭
Prince used to fire staff for looking at him? That's some real high class self absorbed bad behavior.
I don’t believe that at all I do believe he was shady but I don’t think that he would fire people for looking at him badly or just looking at him in general I don’t think he was that shallow
I definitely believe it because he fired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for writing and producing other artists.
@@briannaburch6737 he definitely was. I rarely hear nice stories of him with people. Usual,y always something shady. I mean just listen to the ping pong story with MJ, that alone convinced me he was the problem.
@@TheGossipGyal Michael was just as shady as Prince was just wait for his video they could definitely both be petty at times
@@briannaburch6737 Michael was not shady at all though lmao. He was very kind, treated everyone he worked with, with class and respect. Many of his employees have crossed him and even them he never confronted them, or even immediately fired them. It's probably because MJ wasn't selfish and was more humble, Prince always thought he was above people, and acted like it lmao. I mean that ping pong story says a lot.
I LOVE how you tell more than one version of a story. Keep going Queen. You look so pretty💚 Can u do Gerald Levert plz❤❤
He's on the list just a little ways down. And thank you luv🥰🥰
Yes Gerald Levert
You're welcome
I remember I was in choir when I found out the news. I cried that whole day, RIP to The King Of Purple Paradise 💜🤍🖤
💜💜💜💜💜
I felt that. I had heard about the evil referring to the dark side of his music and witch craft so I discontinued listening to him. However he left this world and I was up on a ladder cleaning ceiling tiles when I got the news of his passing and I knelt down on the top of the ladder and wept. My whole team was like wth they ain't never seen me upset or cry. They actually though I was laughing at one of my little silly jokes on my mind. When they saw the tears and my face they all helped me off the ladder and I left for the rest of the day. My whole team and dm was like 👀😕😳🙄🤦🏽. It was a random time and to them very random happening but we grew up on prince and he was a friend of the family way back when. Crazy thing my dad told me I look just like him a month ago he said I was beautiful like prince... I'm a single woman and didn't k ow how I should take that lmao but I know dad knowing prince meant it out of love lol. Prince was beautiful and I hope he repented smh. I wept because of the pain I could see in his eyes for so long.
The Kim Basinger song is Scandalous. Loving this at 4am!

@@aprilmay-jackson7469 it's off the Batman soundtrack. She was the leading lady in the original movie. The song is dope...you can hear her mostly in the end.
@@nicoleclement6341 ...AAAAND, on the 12" version, there is a version called the "Scandalous Sex Suite", where Prince brings Kim to his Mansion, and..... It's in 3 PARTS! ('The Crime', 'The Passion' (where Kim moans longer), & 'The Rapture')....
Heartbreaking to lose a child 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
That is why I just appreciate the musicians talent and the music, not the personality or life of the musician. Just because you love there music doesn’t mean you have to love the person, just there genius. Prince, James Brown, Rick James, Michael Jackson etc. all geniuses, but strange and mentally unstable humans beings probably due to some past trauma or upbringing.
Aww Prince looked like he was belting out a tune as a newborn!!😂😂😂

Prince and vanity were soulmates his most beautiful muse hands down
Prince and mayte were pregnant with a baby girl before they lost their son in 96.
She was several months when she miscarried.
If you watch the 1992 Blue light video, she was pregnant with their first child.
Love You Ashley!
I heard that she got pregnant again AFTER they lost their son. Because of the miscarriage, they drifted apart, because Prince felt they weren’t meant to be if they couldn’t have kids.
She was never in that video. She says that in her book. The song was written for Nona Gaye
@@keemafarrow2893 I thought the song was written for Carmen Electra I guess he had all of his women in mind when he wrote it 😬🤷🏽♀️

There's a RUclips video of Nona Gaye speaking on how she was mistreated @ a Prince party, and felt it was because of her skin color. Nona is beautiful, just because she's beautiful...Complexion is irrelevant.

Not only did Rick James say that Prince didn't want to be 🚫Black singer Alexander O'Neal said it as well!!👱♂️ But both of them were CRACKED OUT ADDICTS AT THE TIME SOOO🤪🤦🏽♀️??
Ain’t that a mess?
But they were telling the truth...
They still could be telling the TRUTH. Whether they cracked out or not. I can believe that Prince said he didn't wanna be BLACK. I always gotten that vibe from him. I still like Prince but I can see it.
@@shante70sb I just think he didn’t want to be Box into one genre He could’ve used different word verbiage though But I understand what he was saying plus Alexander was arrogant himself He referred to himself in the third Person Alexander’s not gonna do this and Alexander’s not gonna do that and where is the money in that rub prince the wrong way
Yep he wanted the crossover success and wanted to remain mysterious
Bayyybbbyyyy! Prince was my man! I went to EVERY concert he had when he came near Flint, MI! I had posters, wore purple all the time! I am now 54 and those were fantastic memories!!!
Ashley, you did a good job with this! I've been a Prince fan for a long time. Most of what you said I have read over the years myself. I also read Mayte's book. The only thing I didn't hear in this video was the rumors concerning Prince's mother. I really wish I knew more about his mother. Yet, there are rumors that were in a book I read several years ago talking about Prince had a very complicated relationship with his mother. Supposedly, his mother was a "good time woman" and Prince loved and hated her for it. That was supposedly part of the reason why his mother and father couldn't along. The rumor is that when Prince's father met her she was already like that and he liked that she was a fun lady. But, it caused problems later in the marriage because he thought she was going to settle down and be the traditional wife and mother and she didn't want to. His father thought he could do what he wanted to do (different women, alcohol, lots of late-night gigs, and not really be responsible to his family)...but that his wife would be the traditional type. Basically like Joe Jackson...the difference is Prince's mother was no Katherine. And it didn't work out. Supposedly, that is the beginning of why he had a toxic and messed-up view of women. He loved but also almost hated women because of the power that came from their sexuality. There are supposedly early songs that Prince did discussing this but no one can say for sure if they were really about his mother or not. I don't remember the specific songs mentioned in the book though. Sorry. Basically, it is said that both of Prince's parents were supposedly kind of narcissistic and were more focused on their own needs and couldn't really be the parents Prince needed. I'm not sure what they were like with Tyka. But, Prince craved attention and he didn't get it. His mother wasn't the nurturing type.
Yes his sister said the same thing about their mother that she wasn’t the nurturing type of mother And his own memoir he said that his parents Would get into physical altercations and he would be brought in to the middle of it and used as a buffer and it would make him feel very unstable and emotionally drained also it’s been said that prince was molested by the older woman who was caught in his bed at 12 years old and that she was his father’s girlfriend and as well as one of his sisters when he was sixteen years old He seems like he grew up in a emotionally unstable environment and when he got older he didn’t know how to handle hardships like grief and loss Or anything like that regarding women
Listen to the song
When Doves Cry
Listen to the song Sister.. from what I heard it was a half sister that raped him
Ashley we all really appreciate all the content that you supply for us. It’s so entertaining. Thank you Thank you and Thank you again.
Well it's 3AM in my neck of the woods time to watch this before I get some much needed shut eye. 🛌🏻😴🌆
Omgoodness yes couldn’t sleep at 3am eastern time and got a notification Yes!!!!! I’m so excited 👏🏽😳 Princes is the reason for parental advisory .
1. The used condom Carmen allegedly sent Prince, is mentioned in the song, "One of Your Tears."
2. Prince never said he had influenza. He said, he had "flu-like symptoms."
3. Prince was suicidal. He was constantly talking about death. It was so intense, Tyka thought he was dying.
4. In 1999, Prince told us about his pill addiction in the song, "My Little Pill."
5. In 2014, in the song, "The Breakdown," Prince sang about being intoxicated and experiencing blackouts.
Prince spent most of his adult like chasing Vanity's image. When she died, it sent him over the edge. He was also struggling with the fact that he would never father children. Prince no longer cared about the vault or recording new material, because he didn't have any children to pass his legacy to.
HEY I know this is a old video and this is a old comment but was something wrong with prince? I guess I mean why could he never have children? Was it a preference after mayte or a medical reason?
@@dianabryan7421 I believe Prince had a medical condition that prevented him from fathering children. It's been said that his SECOND wife had TWO miscarriages.

First off, I'm not finna be with no man that is prettier than me. I'm sorry but I'm just not gon do it. Second, Ashley, I love your hair! So beautiful. And lastly, Prince was a special kind of someone that clearly had the gift of gab and I love how secretive he was with his personal life, because all this tea you just gave me was all kinds of new news. Thanks Ashley 😊.
True but I'd never think a man was prettier than me
That's what I love about him! Celebrities now want you to know everything!

Ok, this is Officially my favorite Ashley SaysSo video Lol 💪🏾💜.
Got me up at 4am. 😂 I love Prince's artistry. He was an all-around showman.
The woman that Prince's father caught him with was allegedly the father's gf
Prince and Andre's fathers were in a band together years before Prince and Andre were born
Prince and Morris Day were childhood friends and former band mates. It's been rumored that they were actually cousins
"Scandalous" is the song featuring Kim Basinger's moans.
Vanity and Prince worked on the screenplay to Purple Rain. Vanity's moans are in the movie.
You could often see Prince's "member" through his revealing clothes.
Prince was with Mayte and Nona at the same time and they both got pregnant, allegedly
There are rumors that Prince is the father of Nona's son (even though she denies this) and that Mayte's son was NOT Prince's son
Prince's mother, Mattie, died on February 15, 2002 and Vanity died on February 15, 2016
Prince seemed to more fully embrace his blackness as he aged.
Prince was extremely hurt and depressed about the death of Michael Jackson and even defended him when he was accused of being a child molester.
Prince, Michael Jackson, and Marvin Gaye all seemed to know exactly how and when they were going to die.
Powerful facts and interesting rumors. You nailed a lot here. I believe that was Vanity moaning /crying backwrds in Purple Rain on the tape he played for Apollonia. On the extras of Purple Rain, Wendy said to Lisa it's rumored Prince wrote "Darling Nikki" about his mother (bleeped out but you can read her lips). I don't know if Prince had an actual 'situation' with his mother but she could have inspired the song from her alleged porn collection.

So happy to see you Sister I'm so glad your health is back in order!!! Now my family lived across the Street from Prince's Parents/childhood home. Still does.
Lol imagine prince as a Jehovah’s witness knocking on your door lol 😂
That voice and eyes he would have converted me🤩😍🤩
I woulda pretend I dont know him and tell him about how poor I am. If he had ever knock on my door. I wont be like omg are u prince? No I would invite him in and lay my problems on his lap, maybe he woulda send me some anonymous funds.
Yep nooo Doubt my ol lady would hv been dropping them drawls lmao
Yeah he could’ve came in anytime
I can't see it 😂
I enjoyed this video. Prince was a gem, a musical genius who was taken from us too soon. Thank you for sharing more information about him! Thank you for the warning about the graphic photos appearing.
Just stumbled upon your page and chiiiiiiiiiile....I AM HOOOOOOOOOOKED!!!! Whew! I been binge watching LITERALLY ALL WEEKEND!! You're so dope! I love your energy! I feel like I'm face timing with my bestie getting AAAALLLL the hot, extra sweet tea!!
Denise aka Vanity was gorgeous! I thought she was so beautiful when I was younger.
We all did. She was definitely gorgeous she seemed like a sweet heart too
I saw Shelia E in concert 3 times and had told us how Prince proposed to her, but he didn't want her to pursue a solo career. She has a guy in her band that looks just like Prince except he's taller. We went crazy over that boy.
😆😆😆 the Michael Jackson scream had me🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd heard years ago that his 1st major hit (I wanna be your lover) was written about Patrice Rushen, who he'd had a mad crush on at the time. She however, wasn't interested. You forgot about Apollonia, who it's rumored he'd messed with during and after the making of "Purple Rain".
Patrice Rushen is so beautiful and talented...
@@lindaadams1008 Patrice is my girl. She is very talented 👊🏽
I always thought Apollonia looked just like Vanity. They are twins lowkey lol
He never messed with Apollonia. She wishes. But word on the street was that he was NEVER interested in her.
@@nifo4093
Prince dated Appollonia from 1983 to 1984. That's so well known all one would have to is google it.
To quote:
" It was when Vanity decided to drop out of Prince's 1984 film Purple Rain that the singer met his next protegee turned lover, 24-year-old Mexican model Patricia Apollonia Kotero."
Ashley I know I’m late but I’m from Minneapolis, we always heard that the grown woman that his dad found him with was his big sister who was in her late 20s when he was 12, and that’s why he kicked him out, he blamed prince. His older sister was living with him at the moment.
WOW!!!! His song "Sister" makes a lot of sense in that case...
I thought it was when he was 16 that he was taken advantage of by one of his half sister but it was a grown woman in his bed when he was 12 or 13 years old He said he begged to come back home but his father said no and he moved to 18 different places Before the Anderson’s took him in he was pretty much homeless
@@briannaburch6737 a lot of people said he adjusted the ages to not make it seem too gross
@@justinmichael9414 I hope it wasn’t his sister either way it’s terrible what happened 😳😭He said it affected his sexuality he went through so much
I seen Prince at the Paramount theater in Seattle about 17 years ago. I walk to the stage standing next to this couple we were all dancing and prince ask this white guy that had the number one seat in the house he asked him would he still give up your seat to a beautiful black woman right there and pointed to me!!!! Oh my God the bodyguard lifted me up over this bar I’m standing right in front of the stage and Prince is singing to me!!!! 💜💜💜💜🎤🎶. But before that Prince had the white guy who gave up his seat to me Prince had him come on the stage and sit where all these beautiful pillow where. It was the 2nd best Prince story I have.🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜
Prince’s death is just too fishy. Even the way he was cremated ASAP just doesn’t make sense. I believe he was either killed, or is alive somewhere on an island living as an expat. 😂 He was private, after all.
I’ve been believing the same thing since his passing everything surrounding it is sketchy
I definitely have been saying that there’s no way that he would’ve been able to put himself in the elevator with that much in his system and how he was cremated very quickly I definitely believe he was killed it was just two years after he got his catalog back from Warner Brothers
Word. He always said he wanted to make a lot of music, so that He could rest. I believe WB did it, cuz he got his masters back. No more milk'n the cow.
@@yvonneharris4863 Yes my thoughts exactly hid death was not an accident And he would not commit suicide I believe he was murdered by Warner Also the last message he left on his Instagram just when you thought you were safe that sounds like a warning to me
@@yvonneharris4863 Also he wouldn’t have one in his music on RUclips and are used in commercials he is very much against that
I read that “I Wanna Be Your Lover” was inspired by Patrice Rushen who he had a huge crush on.
@@DanFreeman723 had no idea they dated. That’s a genius couple.
@@DanFreeman723 On her Unsung she said they didn't date. And that if that song was about her she didn't know, she'd always looked at it as a rumor. She just programmed his keyboards for one of his early albums
She wasn't interested in him like that lol
@@thephoenix6120 I know I just think he had a big crush on her I don’t believe they did dated either Although I believe they should have I don’t think she would’ve put up with his womanizing though
@@briannaburch6737 I think they would've been a brilliant couple. But Prince and his womanizing ways smh He was also trying to get at Latoya Jackson around this time so Patrice definitely dodged a bullet. That man left a trail of broken hearts everywhere he went . No woman could ever compete with the love of his life which was his music.
@@thephoenix6120 I definitely agree with that also after he passed she was asked who her celebrity crush was and surprisingly she said prince which I found very 🤔
MJ was a much nicer guy no stories on him treating people like crap and he was famous with the spotlight on him longer.
Please do a video on The King of POP Michael Jackson
MJ did his Brother Jermaine wrong about an album/song after the Jackson brothers did and during their final tour together hell MJs brother were scandalous themselves chile
Well I guess when he's a perfectionist and he wrote, produced, arranged, designed and play all of the instruments on his music and it's his legacy, then it's his way or no way..I feel that..Mike may have been in the spotlight eatlier but he wasn't a musician and people often wrote for him..he needed people to help make music..Prince didn't. Prince was a true musician! No disrespect to Mike but it's no comparison..
@@babygyrl8612 Prince was the muscian he definately was but Michael wrote a lot of his stuff including with the Jacksons..
@@nenep1872 Not really but okay.
@@chica4530 Not really what🤔 Michael did write many of his songs.. what are you talking about
I'm a prince fan and have been for a very long time. And like everyone else I was saddened about his death. I appreciate you doing a story on him because it's a lot I didn't know. So yes, thanks for the info. Not to take anything away from the prince . But wow, I love your red nails!! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep listening. Thanks again 👍👍
Everyone who knows me , Know I love Prince!! You did an excellent job with this. I appreciate all that went into this one. And it posted on my Birthday!!! How cool is that!! Thank you!!!
Anyone ever watch Mike Judge presents Tales from the tour bus? That show is how I found A lot of Dudes hated Prince's guts back then.... Even Morris Day...
Prince was one hated little man...🤭
