I don’t know why people acting like we didn’t see the elephant in the room! I am a HUGE Prince fan but I have eyes and could see that yes Prince had a type and the majority did not include women who you knew was black from across the room. She is exactly right.
But they WERE Black, so why are all of you folks participating in the racial self-hatred, dissing other Blacks simply because they aren't DARK enough for YOU? truth is this shouldn't even be a discussion, but due to the programming folks feel it's okay to rank and rate other folks' Blackness. The brainwash is real, folks...
@@kincrawford5906 don't play naive. Prince was the most popular at several points and unquestionably the most talented music artist in pop music. When the images of his girlfriends & leading ladies are clearly defined by their undefined ethnic status it's questionable. Vanity / Susan Moosie / Apollonia / Jill Jones / Carmen Elecktra / Kim Basinger / Mayete / Sheila E / Susannah Melvoin...c'mon be real. Nona was as 'Black' as his public paramours would ever get. And that was probably because she was the legend ary Marvin Gaye's daughter, no mystery. We all do not know what Prince did in his private life but it's clear that in public he had a specific 'type' that was highly akin european / mixed race ideals and further from the majority of African / African-American women who made up a great amount of his fan base early on when he started to his death.
@@reimourrpower9357 Susan Moosie, Vanity, and Cat are all Black. You keep trying to disregard the ones that are Black to make this moot point for some reason. Did he diss you at a concert or something?
Exactly what the hell are these people talking about. Especially the lady in the beginning why are they worried about what type of women prince dated? Like huh? He’s dead yall wait to speak on his type when he not here
Is that a problem? He was a lightskin black man it’s not a shocker he would hate women that look like him. And either way vanity was way darker than prince
V Minajj Yes your right he was light skin. However the majority of the women he was attracted to who had the same complexion as him, were actually biracial or mixed WW. Prince on the other had to black parents, he may of wished he was biracial, but he wasn't he was black. The majority BM see whiteness as better. Prince wasn't any different.
He liked women. It didn't matter their complexion, look at Demaris Lewis, and there were others of the darker persuation that the public is unaware of, trust me
Prince did have a preference for mixed black women, white and Latin. It’s a fact. When his career slowed down, he started seeing him around more black women such as Tamar Davis, he had an African assistant, black women lawyers etc. Spike Lee called Prince out in his preferences of women. Spike said Prince set him straight by saying the media only photography/ video him with lighter women. I don’t buy that line from Prince. But I can say in the last couple of years he was back to his roots. Also Prince is from Minnesota. If you know anything about Minnesota black men, they love to date outside their race. To each it’s own I guess.
...and why is your life so empty that you're worried about what this man likes? are you this worried about (black) women's materialistic choices in men?? or every second black chick flick having an bw/wm relationship? if you know anything about modern black women, they've become useless 'woke' queens minding everybody else's business but there own. go sit down keisha. lmbao
....why is your life so empty that you're worried about what this man likes? and are you this worried about (black) women's materialistic choices in men as well?? or every other black chick flick having an bw/wm relationship? lmbao
Maneca Lightner on the Madhouse albums is black, the black girl as the waitress in Purple Rain was his past girlfriend. Nia long has a story of being approached by Prince but her not pursuing it. Prince just like beautiful women
And a very dull point at that!! Where was Nona in the story? . ? . ? sitting in the corner? How is that a story about Nona and Prince other than they were in the same room It's a real stretch!.
How horrible to dog this man out after his death because you didn't like the fact that he had a preference for a certain type of woman . I am so damn tired of this crap . Prince had all types when and wherever . And do what if he liked a certain type. That was his right,
Eva Rene Well, speaking as a Black woman who looks similar to Nona Gaye, I beg to differ. No disrespect, but that's very easy for you to say if you are the type that he preferred.
Eva Rene HE WAS COLOR STRUCK BABY, AT THAY TIME. HE HAD NOT MET THE RIGHT BLACK SISTER. WHITE WOMEN TAKE THE MONEY ,AND RUN BACK TO THEIR OWN. HE WAS LEFT ALONE AROUND THE SO CALLED END. NO ONE WANTS TO BE BOTHERED WITH CERTAIN TYPES OF BEHAVIOR.
What is it about Toure that bugs me so much... it could be because he comes across as this 'expert' on Prince as if they hung out and were close personal friends... ugh.
I feel the same. He is irritating. He pretends to be an expert on Prince (and MJ too), but his "analyses" are always so amateur and he always presents his opinion as if it's fact. I read his book, "I Would Die 4 U" and it reads like a middle school book report on Prince. Furthermore, he just doesn't seem like a true fan. He was the type who only appreciated their work from the 1980s. Yet now, in their death, he likes to pretend that he is so "in-the-know" about them--like you said, as if he was a close personal friend.
Prince overlapped his women & they agreed hoping he'd dump the other one & if they caused him problems he's get rid of them. He was in charge. Mayte got pregnant on purpose to trap him & it worked. Nona found out about the engagement after seeing Mayte flashing her ring. Prince didn't tell her first. If you count.. They got married on February 14 and their son was born on October 16 Mayte was pregnant before they got married. In her book she lies and says Prince was so excited he wanted her to a test on their honeymoon to see if she was pregnant. Shes a liar because we can all count. She Tried to make it seem from the moment he saw her there was nobody else & that's a lie. Nona was with him 3 years. She was 19 when they started dating. Young ones you can manipulate. Prince even dated Sheila E. & started with Susannah (Wendy's sister). Sheila said at first she didn't know because she herself lived in LA so there was some distance.
@@tameralynn3689 Prince wasn't doing the same thing as R. Kelly. R. Kelly is in jail right now because of his preference for underage girls. Prince may have been a womanizer, but he wasn't a pedophile.
you know nothing about women (& female nature) you can't understand why the average woman "puts up" with stuff from a rich, powerful man. all that independent/black girl magic nonsense goes right out the door! all men know this. lmbao
I'm a Prince fan and will always be. But, it is not cool what he did to a lot of the girls he dated. He definitely had a type in the beginning. He liked women that were colored, but were racially ambiguous. He liked exotic women who you couldn't tell what they were really. The black lady in this interview is bang on. It's ok to be colored, but don't be too colored like Viola or Lupita because that's not cool. But forget about the types. The cheating and genuine disrespect he had for women disgusts me as a fan and definitely colors my image of him.I like his music and creativity. But I'm not always thrilled with the kind of person he could be.
I'm kinda disappointed to learn more about his private life! I wish I would have known . The way he was with female's was too much.. Especially my favorite Vanity 💔..I love him as an artist!!
There's only so much I know about Prince, but this is clear. He wasn't the darkest fellow around. Why should he be expected to date women that are "black from a distance" when he isn't? As a matter of fact, so what if he had a type? We all do. Get over the skin tone thing. I've not heard any revelations that would make me think less of him (think about the scandals that follow Michael Jackson, Rick James, R. Kelly). I'm still a fan.
Stevie Stephens GET OTTA HERE MR. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU GONNA LOVE. PRINCE MIND WAD MESSED UP BIG TIME FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON WITH THAT WHITE THING! SEEMS LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING. TO MY THINKING DON'T BE TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING WITH MY FEELINGS IN THE LINE. JUMPING HERE AND THERE ,AND EVERYWHERE. THAT MUSIC IS NOT YOU ,GOD DON' T SAY NOTHING LIKE THAT. IT'S A GIFT. NOT TO BE USED TO TRAP SOME WOMAN INTO BED. YOU KNOW HOW WOMEN ARE LETTING THE WORLD KNOW WHAT THOSE GUYS IN HIGH PLACES ASK THEM TO DO, TO LAND THAT JOB. VULGAR,! HOPE PRINCE CHANGED AT SOME POINT, I MEAN REALLY CHANGED INTO CHRIST'S SANDLES.
Nia Long, Chili, Susan Moonsie, Robin Power, Tamron Hall, Patrice Rushen, Kim Upsher, and/or Damaris Lewis could probably tell us horror stories about how Prince didn't "like" them....as of yet, tho......CRICKETS!!
Interesting points. They are all definitely as 'dark' as Prince's exes of obects of infatuation got. Note that there is no public or confirmed record Prince 'dating' Tamron Hall or Patrice Rushen, Patrice said they worked in the studio together and allegedly he had a crush on her (understandably, she's still fine) but nothing came of it. Prince wrote a theme music song for Tamron (Prince's way of saying 'hi') but no public confirmation them ever dating.
@@sandrinebiyiti9875 It's a matter of choice, isn't it? To be honest most of the women around him were all very pretty. One of his last dancers, Damaris is absolutely gorgeous and is a kind-hearted woman, helping others less fortunate than herself. You are right though, Nona is lovely too and is probably a nicer person than Mayte. I just happen to think Mayte is very pretty
@@sandrinebiyiti9875 Exactly she did get pregnant and got between the relationship with him And Nona But she got her karma when Manuela came in the picture and did the exact same thing that she didn’t to Nona She got him how she lost him to another woman and tenfold but Manuela was more calculated then Mayte
daddyrichten over the years prince was seen with black women. .just like his hair he went back to the afro. When people could not even tell that he permed his hair stright. So he went back to his roots.
And apparently Latina and white women, too: Susannah Melvoin, Carmen Electra, Kim Basinger, Susanna Hoffs, Sherilyn Fenn, Bria Valente, Anna Fantastic, Heidi Mark, Devin DeVasquez, Ingrid Chavez (?), and apparently Madonna (?) (I am not counting Sheena Easton or Apollonia because they denied having a romantic relationship with him)
I know this post is 2 years old but, in all fairness to this poorly explained story, he did say that "this woman approached" him. But, after dragging out the story so long, I knew some people would probably think he was talking about Nona LOL! But, I'm like the rest of you... Wondering what this other woman had to do with this story? I was expecting to hear what went down with him and Nona. Not that she was truly upset when he saw her SMH. That's what we get for wanting to be nosey LOL!!!
Before the major breakthrough with Purple Rain, Prince's girl was Susan Moonsie from Vanity6 - she is dark and as fine as Vanity at the time. SO technically he had at least 2 dark chicks back in the day. Prince dated Ananda Lewis who looks obviously black as well - and fine as hell.
Yeah, I've loved Prince's MUSIC from day one, I was 16 years old when Controversy came out. My brother had the 1st album, For You, but I really got into his MUSIC at Controversy. I say that, to say this; since we're discussing skin tone...I'm considered to be a very fair skinned, Black woman, could have possibly been his type, but he, and other light skinned men never did it for me like that, even though, he was attractive, I've always preferred deep chocolate. I never could understand him, because that scenario seemed to be the preferences where I'm from. My father was mixed; very fair, and my mom is one of the most beautiful, dark-skinned sisters you'd ever see; especially when she was younger. I don't know....I'm a sister before anything, I felt some type of way too about him not representing with, as they said in the video, "a woman you could tell was Black, from a distance." He did the "Black" album, but I heard he didn't even really want to release it, but WB released it anyway....I guess they understood better than he that Black women always had his back and should be acknowledged commercially as well as otherwise. Quite frankly, I loved his MUSIC, and that was enough for me. If I thought about what type of negro he really was, relative to sisters, in the public eye, I probably wouldn't own the incredible collection I have today.
This was a very revealing and touching essay, thanks for sharing. A point you made that should be recalled is that regardless of the women Prince chose to have in his videos and be seen in public dating, you "loved Prince's MUSIC from day one" and that "Black women always had his back and should be acknowledged commercially as well as otherwise". This was and is very important. The fact that Black women were Prince's initial supporters and stuck with him regardless of their lack of representation in his numerous photos, videos, movies or dates when in public says something. This was also what in this video Michaelanglea Davis was saying, 'darker' sisters would very represented as love interests by a great artist who had many public & performance love interests. His time with Nona was short lived for reasons we may speculate on but can't really know. What's clear is Prince for the most had a definitel 'type' and Nona was the darker standout (token?) that only fit in for a short time. Thank you SheIsAwareNow for sharing your awareness.
@daddyrichten Only semi-agree on some points, disagree on others. Dwayne 'The Rock' in roles and public isn't even owning his biracial identity, he's embracing his Somaon ethnicity and IGNORING his Black identity. Bro will NEVER allow his African '4c' 'nappy' hair grow (only once on 'Be Cool) because he's afraid it will scare off his white fans (even though Somaons often have natrual hair the smae texture as ours). He's rarely plays a role that identified as even part Black except Spencer on Ballers. I ina way respect Vin Diesel's playing into his biracial identity because in interviews he's stated that he's a Black man of biracial parentage. And that his stepfather who was black taught him to know and respect his Black heritage which is why he's been trying to develop the Hannibal Barca of Carthage warrior king historical story for years.
Prince loved and enjoyed all shades of women from around the world. Just because they weren't with him in the spotlight doesn't mean they didn't exist. Also he was very upfront with the women about not being exclusive. Even Vanity talked about this in a BET interview when asked if She was Prince's girl and she told Donny Simpson "Prince doesnt have any 1 girl." He obviously made that shit very clear from the jump. Which is quite respectable.
Sherita Jones he should talk about his brother ,. consulting prince, who must have been impressed with him. b don't go chasing water falls and all talking about prince on TV with those news people on channel 2 by.
I Wanna Be Your Lover and most of his second album was written about his love for Patrice Rushen so he was definitely into Black women at some point. Prince tried to pretend he was biracial to appeal more to his white fan base and for the same reason he publicly dated light skinned women who mirrored his look. Once he became a legend he stopped caring and went back to brown and dark skinned Black women.
With all of the stories that I am reading that come from other celebs and fans etc, it seems like Prince was a very good Musician but a crappy person, It seems like everyone that had some kind of personal relationship with him ended up miserable and with hurt feelings....
I saw that to he had a type. me being a Brown skin women i saw that. He would put the Dark skin men in the videos but not the dark skin women, nobody that looked like Naomi Campbell, Iman , Or have a Toni braxton or Whitney Houston look in his videos. It's like dark women didn't exist in his world and spike lee and Cat Glover had told him that as well. But it is what it is i still love his music. Dark is Beautiful Peace and Be Wild.
nona gaye, demaris lewis, and other dark skinned women whom u would not know if i told u their names were part of his life, but yes 4 the most part he had a certain "type"
I Know that but that was Later on , im speaking of the 1980s not the 1990s and the 2000s. I speaking about the bigger hits in the 1980s u did not see no dark skin women. But the dark skin men not women that's what i was speaking about. And spike lee and Cat Glover had the right to call him out about that.
You're bang on with that comment. Most look for a hint of their mom or dad in their conquests regardless of whether they were a positive role model or not.
Anyone on here direspecting black women should take a pencil and write down all the things you find unattractive and hate about black women on a piece of paper and hand it to your mother and sister
He also dated Susan from Vanity 6. But the bottom line is he liked beautiful women and beautiful souls. I don't think there was any discrimination against darker skinned women.
p taylor here’s a different point of view, not many people that dealt with prince thought he was a king loving person. He has broken so many souls in his wake. Vanity,Sheila E, Nona, Dez, Jessie Johnson, Alexander O’Neal, the Time, and many others. Most were saved and turned to God. You worship his sex appeal and musical gifts.
if u like thugs u like thugs. if u like nerds u like nerds. if u like dark hair etc. etc. i dont think prince liked blondes. i think it was kim basinger so he dated her. most of the general black female population doesnt usually go for the short light skinned brother as much. but hes prince so you will date him. but hes not most women that complains type. hes exactly the wrong type for them to date with all those insecurities. that relationship would last about three hours. its a control issue. and vernon reid doesnt knw how to tell a story that is true.
people get your facts straight, Prince dated plenty of black women, so what if they were light skinned, if that's what he liked, then that's his preference, did ya"ll forget about Vanity, she"s black, not light skinned, he also was goimg with the other chick in vanity 6, during the purple rain era, the other darkskinned chick, Damn you & insatiable had dark women in the video, Tamar in black sweat video, before he passed away, he was going with an tall dark skin sista name Damerris, so quit riding on about who his preference in women were, Prince was an true brotha, he didn't turn his back on his people, Prince just loved women period. Ya'll aint saying nothing about other black men entertainers or athletes dating & marrying nothing but white women, GTFOH.......
TO ME PRINCE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE BLACK GIRLS , BACK OFF , NOT GOOD ENOUGH! HIS HANDS GRABED AT ONLY THOSE WHITE GIRLS THE SYNAGOGUE PROBABLY SENT IN ON HIM WHEN THEY RECKON THEY WOULD HAVE AROBLEM
We are all related and through various slave routes were ported throughout the Americas and the world. We are still brothers and sisters (Shiela E, etc...) Although, I agree with the statement @ 2:58 that can occur no matter the color, nationality, ethinicity... Interesting discussion!
He acted like he was allergic to this last black woman he was seen with he seem so not interested in her.prince needed a good woman in his life regardless of her race he need real love and I believe he never found it.prehaps his high school girl was the one but his fame took him another direction in making him to think success is a white or bright skin woman on your arm there is some beautiful dark skin women that will stand by a brother thru good and bad time as long as he is loyal to her.
How does Vernon go from talking about him seeing Prince at the After show @ the Palladium, with Nona Gaye, seeing Mayte Flash the ring, to a chick saying "Please, please < Please" So this would be January/February 1996
btw. why does beyonce not have short overweight light skinned guys dancing with her in her videos? arent they human too? they dont have to be ugly just really really short. but handsome. why is that? im sure lots of women would love to see that. I sure would. now thats entertainment. and how many dark skinned well known women are looking for five foot light skinned guys that arent prince?
Prince had a type because most all of his women either reminded him of Susannah or Vanity, his first two major loves. Most humans look for people that remind them of the true original people they loved. It not anymore more than that so lets not making it about not liking certain types of people. Attraction isn't truly ever consciously motivated.
I just channelled Prince’s spirit and you know what he said??: “ I didn’t have a type! Everybody was my type! I had love 4 every kind of body. Don’t believe the hype!” 🤣
nona didn't know the game she over played her hand that guy saw mayte's mother's plan fancy dancing all in his face. his attention span was only a short thing. long only when it came to his music.
None whatsoever.... he came off like he didn’t really wanna tell the story out of respect for both Prince & Nona. If this was truly the case, he should have just kept his mouth shut from jump!
girl, he had the pimp daddy type to show " look what I got ,in my stable.in my life I've seen many pimps back when I was clubbing. they all acted like prince soft spoken but, with a hidden wickedness. that's the mentality they used on women, to get them.nona didn't get the ring 'cause she didn't act like he wanted her to act. she went to far . she should of used Christ on him with that young arrogance, abstain! no matter what color the skin. Vernon way don't you tell what he did for your brother, trying to be God and help him out! prince not God. your brother should have complain to God, not a impressible little man with genius talen
what s wrong with having a type ? he loved colored women 2 , i keep hearing this on p loved light skin women , almost saying he hated like black skin women.
nazhia prince purple army Black skin women? you mean dark skin women. yea he did have a type but ,he liked all women of all shades especially talented women unlike the kartrashions lol . The media just don't want to show him with the darker women . I have seen on some of the youtube comments where nia long talked about prince wanting to date her and she turned him down and in some of the comment section you had some of the raciest people talking about her skin color and how she is a lair and p would never date a dark skin women it's crazy.They would even bash the darker skin women on prince.org as well i have seen this and some other people have seen it to i'm not going to name but yes they have notice the pattern they never do it to a cream color women which is soo sad but they speak so highly about that mayte . but i know what you mean.
REMEMBER HOW THEY THINK, THAT LITTLE DROP OF BLACK BLOOD MIXED WITH THAT WHITE BLOOD SAYS TO THEM, YOU ARE BLACK. THOSE WHITES AND LATINOS EASED AWAY WHEN HE BREAK UP THE SHOW, AFTER SHOWING OFF WHAT HE PREFERRED. HE STILL DIDN'T WANTA GO HOME TO THAT NAPPY HEAD THING, AS HIS SONG ON THE UNDERTAKER SAYS. ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL BLACK GIRLS WHO STILL LOVE THE THOUGHT OF HIM. AND WHAT ABOUT CAT WHO WAS NICE LOOKING, WHAT'S HER STORY? SOME PERSON THINKS HE TURNED HER IN SIDE OUT. THOSE WHO LOOK HIGH ,GOD SAYS HE WILL BRING DOWN LOW. YOU JUST CAN'T CROSS CHRIST, YOU GOTTA GET IT RIGHT WHILE YOU GOT THE CHANCE.
And another thing is nothing wrong with knowing what you like or having a preference I think that's a gift don't waste people's time I wouldn't want nobody wasting my
He's not the only black entertainer who has "a certain type!" 👀But on another note, dude is the worst story teller! I'm like: damn, get to the story!!!
nona, robin power, damaris Iewis, there must be a few more at Ieast! and how weird is it when peopIe discriminate between shades? are andy aIIo, susan moonsie, vanity, cat etc Iess coIoured at the end of the day? angeIa is pretty pasty in her oId age! ;-) prince had a type: sexy women! and coIIaborators such as boni boyer, rosie gaines, mavis stapIes aII represent other types of types to satisfy anyone wanting to see one represented, i mean does it reaIIy have to be a girIfriend, not a cooI musician/dancer etc? and why is it presumed appoIIonia did or sheena easton did (pretty sure they didn't?) but that boni never did? (i have no idea tbh). peopIe Iove to Ieap to concIusions that suit them.
Nonsense. He himself was not black. Not white. Something inbetween. He just looked unaware for an equal. He had no problem with Black Women. Listen to "Black Muse" dedicated to Damaris Lewis.
Rain bow _ Your comment is Nonsense. "not black. Not white. Something in between" ?? So, what was he invisible? (BTW, there's a space in the words *inbetween* , I fixed that for you) "He just looked anaware for an equal" Are you attempting to say .. he looked ANY WHERE.. wow. People like you always want to strip others of their birthright. If he was born to black parents, then he is a black child. It's his birthright as a human being, he embraced his identity and that of others. Be responsible and respectful with your words.
indiroca808 He is mixed race. Just like me. His roots are black AND white. I am not disrespecful at all - thats only in your head. Do your research, darling x
Rain bow both of Prince parents were black...did they have mix...yes just like most American Black people...some are lighter, brown, or very dark! Both of his parents were African American hailing from Louisiana!
O Prince era igual a canção do Martinho da Vila: - já tive mulheres de todas as cores, de várias idades e muitos amores, casada, carente, solteira, feliz, já teve donzela e até meretriz....... 🤣 Ficar com esse papo xué! Poupe-nos.
Why did they wait until they died until they spoke on stuff like this?... like why are they worried about what “type” of women prince were attracted too. It’s not like he ever disrespected darkskin women so why are they upset. This whole video was pointless as hell like why does it even matter what type of black women he liked. Y’all feel so entitled to forcing ppl to date whoever
Rick James said Prince Rogers Nelson wanted to be white? Look it up! And one other thing; Prince revered Marvin Gaye, and ironically when he dated Nona it was the same age difference (17‐18 Yrs) and the same ages Marvin and Nona's late mom Jan were when they engaged. Marvin was ostracized for his actions but Prince wasn'! Interesting.....🤔
Suffice it to say that I've never seen any of these backstabbing losers before in my life. But I and everyone on the planet has heard of Prince, needless to say.
WHY DOESN'T HE TELL WHAT PRINCE,WHO REALLY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF AS A PRINCE OF EGYPT, DID FOR HIS BROTHER ? THAT GIRL IN THE LIMO FROM TCL, POOR CHILD COULD TELL IT ALL. PRINCE IS NOT CHRIST TO HELP A WRONG DOER OUT OF A JAM. PRINCE LIKE A CHILD WHO COULD PLAY AND WRITE MUSIC. THAT 1ST MUSIC WAS NOT ANOINTED BY CHRIST . GOD GIVEN TALENT , USED FOR THE UNDER KINGDOM. Really I HOPE SATAN LOST THAT ONE.
Oh cut the foolishness Prince definitely liked women not saying that he didn't like dark women but he had a particular type which when he came of black women were fair or light skinned women and Nona and Julie are not that dark he didn't date women like Lupita when it comes to shades cuz she's very talented and she has achieved a lot in her life Milpitas outstanding so I didn't mean any harm towards her but me and have a tight Prince have a tight and it was obvious he had a type I don't care what none of y'all talking about
What the hell did I stumble on? I love Vernon but what the hell is this story? Prince is dead so they are talking about the women he dated and their proximity to whiteness? Oh well, I'd rather chat about his music, him opening for the Stones...
That's also Mpls...if you've lived there for a mn it's honestly not even a sellout thing, because there are an abundance of sellouts there and he wasn't one. It's almost like the light skin thing you'll see out of Louisiana. In some ways that's just they folk. If you move to Mpls and you're dark-skinned, but never dated a light skinned sister, you probably will have dated two or three by the time you leave...js. You can be around them Louisiana sisters your whole life though, and good luck...
YAH! THAT LOVEING ALL SHADES OF WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL GET YOU UNCOVED BY CHRIST PROTRCTION AND A DOSE OF AIDES! YOU GET HIGH , GO LAY DOWN WITH THE ONE YOU THINK IS SO LIGHT AND CLEAN, AND SHE 'S THE ONE THAT WACKED YOU OUT, WITH MISERY.
Ok where the whole interview??and I've dated white ,brown, dark brown , and I I've been in love with black women,and loved white women why does it bother black women what kind of woman a man attracted too if he happy just be happy for him ..I'm just glad he didn't date dudes lol
I don’t know why people acting like we didn’t see the elephant in the room! I am a HUGE Prince fan but I have eyes and could see that yes Prince had a type and the majority did not include women who you knew was black from across the room. She is exactly right.
Exactly
But they WERE Black, so why are all of you folks participating in the racial self-hatred, dissing other Blacks simply because they aren't DARK enough for YOU? truth is this shouldn't even be a discussion, but due to the programming folks feel it's okay to rank and rate other folks' Blackness. The brainwash is real, folks...
@@kincrawford5906 don't play naive. Prince was the most popular at several points and unquestionably the most talented music artist in pop music.

Nona was as 'Black' as his public paramours would ever get. And that was probably because she was the legend ary Marvin Gaye's daughter, no mystery. We all do not know what Prince did in his private life but it's clear that in public he had a specific 'type' that was highly akin european / mixed race ideals and further from the majority of African / African-American women who made up a great amount of his fan base early on when he started to his death.

I was just about to type the EXACT same thing!!
Yes he is...did anyone even hear what happened???
Basically Vernon says he was there when Prince dumped Nona and it was bad. Nona was devastated and in a corner crying back stage.

Prince on the other had to black parents, he may of wished he was biracial, but he wasn't he was black. The majority BM see whiteness as better. Prince wasn't any different.
He liked women. It didn't matter their complexion, look at Demaris Lewis, and there were others of the darker persuation that the public is unaware of, trust me
Prince did have a preference for mixed black women, white and Latin. It’s a fact. When his career slowed down, he started seeing him around more black women such as Tamar Davis, he had an African assistant, black women lawyers etc. Spike Lee called Prince out in his preferences of women. Spike said Prince set him straight by saying the media only photography/ video him with lighter women. I don’t buy that line from Prince. But I can say in the last couple of years he was back to his roots. Also Prince is from Minnesota. If you know anything about Minnesota black men, they love to date outside their race. To each it’s own I guess.
...and why is your life so empty that you're worried about what this man likes? are you this worried about (black) women's materialistic choices in men?? or every second black chick flick having an bw/wm relationship? if you know anything about modern black women, they've become useless 'woke' queens minding everybody else's business but there own. go sit down keisha. lmbao
There wasn't much h to choose from in Minnesota. (I'm guessing)
....why is your life so empty that you're worried about what this man likes? and are you this worried about (black) women's materialistic choices in men as well?? or every other black chick flick having an bw/wm relationship? lmbao
That's a lie. He was with a mixed woman when he died
Maneca Lightner on the Madhouse albums is black, the black girl as the waitress in Purple Rain was his past girlfriend. Nia long has a story of being approached by Prince but her not pursuing it. Prince just like beautiful women
How long does it take him to get to the point? DAMN!
And a very dull point at that!! Where was Nona in the story? . ? . ? sitting in the corner? How is that a story about Nona and Prince other than they were in the same room It's a real stretch!.

How horrible to dog this man out after his death because you didn't like the fact that he had a preference for a certain type of woman . I am so damn tired of this crap . Prince had all types when and wherever . And do what if he liked a certain type. That was his right,
Eva Rene Well, speaking as a Black woman who looks similar to Nona Gaye, I beg to differ. No disrespect, but that's very easy for you to say if you are the type that he preferred.
@@te4888 Do you have any kind of personal preference in the appearance of men or women you date?

What is it about Toure that bugs me so much... it could be because he comes across as this 'expert' on Prince as if they hung out and were close personal friends... ugh.
I feel the same. He is irritating. He pretends to be an expert on Prince (and MJ too), but his "analyses" are always so amateur and he always presents his opinion as if it's fact. I read his book, "I Would Die 4 U" and it reads like a middle school book report on Prince. Furthermore, he just doesn't seem like a true fan. He was the type who only appreciated their work from the 1980s. Yet now, in their death, he likes to pretend that he is so "in-the-know" about them--like you said, as if he was a close personal friend.
I attended college with Toure. He's always been sanctimonious like that.
He's pretentious and it oozes out the gap in his teeth.
these comments about toure' are so funny. but
I don't think he cared for
MC daddy at all!

Lol right 😂 😂

@@opinionatorX he came across mean actually
@@christinamitchell6796 I didn't even get the story. Lol
Right! I'm still sitting here looking @ the screen like ok🤷🏽 where's the rest n what's the storyline?
Was Nona blind when she was messing around with Prince that she couldn't see how he'd been pouring his heart out publicly about Mayte?
Prince overlapped his women & they agreed hoping he'd dump the other one & if they caused him problems he's get rid of them. He was in charge. Mayte got pregnant on purpose to trap him & it worked. Nona found out about the engagement after seeing Mayte flashing her ring. Prince didn't tell her first. If you count.. They got married on February 14 and their son was born on October 16 Mayte was pregnant before they got married. In her book she lies and says Prince was so excited he wanted her to a test on their honeymoon to see if she was pregnant. Shes a liar because we can all count. She Tried to make it seem from the moment he saw her there was nobody else & that's a lie. Nona was with him 3 years. She was 19 when they started dating. Young ones you can manipulate. Prince even dated Sheila E. & started with Susannah (Wendy's sister). Sheila said at first she didn't know because she herself lived in LA so there was some distance.
@@LG-kx8xl I hope you ain't one of them people out here talking shit about R. Kelly, while praising Prince for the same thing..
@@tameralynn3689 Prince wasn't doing the same thing as R. Kelly. R. Kelly is in jail right now because of his preference for underage girls. Prince may have been a womanizer, but he wasn't a pedophile.

@@LG-kx8xl 👍👍👍 love Prince to death but him and mayte got that KARMA back in the end 🤷♀️
I'm a Prince fan and will always be. But, it is not cool what he did to a lot of the girls he dated. He definitely had a type in the beginning. He liked women that were colored, but were racially ambiguous. He liked exotic women who you couldn't tell what they were really. The black lady in this interview is bang on. It's ok to be colored, but don't be too colored like Viola or Lupita because that's not cool. But forget about the types. The cheating and genuine disrespect he had for women disgusts me as a fan and definitely colors my image of him.I like his music and creativity. But I'm not always thrilled with the kind of person he could be.
That's why I would never have let my daughter date a man like Prince. It was a guarantee that he would break her heart to pieces.
Colored really 2018 we are still with the self hate
I'm kinda disappointed to learn more about his private life! I wish I would have known . The way he was with female's was too much.. Especially my favorite Vanity 💔..I love him as an artist!!
There's only so much I know about Prince, but this is clear. He wasn't the darkest fellow around. Why should he be expected to date women that are "black from a distance" when he isn't? As a matter of fact, so what if he had a type? We all do. Get over the skin tone thing. I've not heard any revelations that would make me think less of him (think about the scandals that follow Michael Jackson, Rick James, R. Kelly). I'm still a fan.

There is a big hole in his story especially when he left the room and came back with Nona being in the corner with no happy ending....
Why is his choice of women up for discussion. These lowlifes need to find a better discussion.
Totally agree
Damn right
Nia Long, Chili, Susan Moonsie, Robin Power, Tamron Hall, Patrice Rushen, Kim Upsher, and/or Damaris Lewis could probably tell us horror stories about how Prince didn't "like" them....as of yet, tho......CRICKETS!!
Interesting points. They are all definitely as 'dark' as Prince's exes of obects of infatuation got. Note that there is no public or confirmed record Prince 'dating' Tamron Hall or Patrice Rushen, Patrice said they worked in the studio together and allegedly he had a crush on her (understandably, she's still fine) but nothing came of it. Prince wrote a theme music song for Tamron (Prince's way of saying 'hi') but no public confirmation them ever dating.
Latoya Jackson, Marva King, the black girl in Greatest Romance video, his first was a black girl, Mel B, Cat Glover, Maneca Lightner
Why would prince leave Marvin’s Gaye’s beautiful chocolate daughter just to be with Mayte? I don’t want to believe he was color struck.
It is what it is. Would have had healthy beautiful children.

@@sandrinebiyiti9875 It's a matter of choice, isn't it? To be honest most of the women around him were all very pretty.

You are right though, Nona is lovely too and is probably a nicer person than Mayte. I just happen to think Mayte is very pretty
@@sandrinebiyiti9875 Exactly she did get pregnant and got between the relationship with him And Nona But she got her karma when Manuela came in the picture and did the exact same thing that she didn’t to Nona She got him how she lost him to another woman and tenfold but Manuela was more calculated then Mayte
Prince is black and dated black women
Devin Haley he dated all kinds of women
daddyrichten over the years prince was seen with black women. .just like his hair he went back to the afro. When people could not even tell that he permed his hair stright. So he went back to his roots.
daddyrichten ok I get you. Thanks
And apparently Latina and white women, too: Susannah Melvoin, Carmen Electra, Kim Basinger, Susanna Hoffs, Sherilyn Fenn, Bria Valente, Anna Fantastic, Heidi Mark, Devin DeVasquez, Ingrid Chavez (?), and apparently Madonna (?) (I am not counting Sheena Easton or Apollonia because they denied having a romantic relationship with him)
apples said he wanted to be with her on fb. but the post isnt around no more. so i do think him and apple had something going on.
The way he tells the story was like he introduced Nona to Prince and in the same night broke up with her. WTF?
Yeah, That's what i got out of it
I know this post is 2 years old but, in all fairness to this poorly explained story, he did say that "this woman approached" him. But, after dragging out the story so long, I knew some people would probably think he was talking about Nona LOL! But, I'm like the rest of you... Wondering what this other woman had to do with this story? I was expecting to hear what went down with him and Nona. Not that she was truly upset when he saw her SMH. That's what we get for wanting to be nosey LOL!!!
Before the major breakthrough with Purple Rain, Prince's girl was Susan Moonsie from Vanity6 - she is dark and as fine as Vanity at the time. SO technically he had at least 2 dark chicks back in the day. Prince dated Ananda Lewis who looks obviously black as well - and fine as hell.
A Waste of time , listening to this !!!!!
Yeah, I've loved Prince's MUSIC from day one, I was 16 years old when Controversy came out. My brother had the 1st album, For You, but I really got into his MUSIC at Controversy. I say that, to say this; since we're discussing skin tone...I'm considered to be a very fair skinned, Black woman, could have possibly been his type, but he, and other light skinned men never did it for me like that, even though, he was attractive, I've always preferred deep chocolate. I never could understand him, because that scenario seemed to be the preferences where I'm from. My father was mixed; very fair, and my mom is one of the most beautiful, dark-skinned sisters you'd ever see; especially when she was younger. I don't know....I'm a sister before anything, I felt some type of way too about him not representing with, as they said in the video, "a woman you could tell was Black, from a distance." He did the "Black" album, but I heard he didn't even really want to release it, but WB released it anyway....I guess they understood better than he that Black women always had his back and should be acknowledged commercially as well as otherwise. Quite frankly, I loved his MUSIC, and that was enough for me. If I thought about what type of negro he really was, relative to sisters, in the public eye, I probably wouldn't own the incredible collection I have today.
This was a very revealing and touching essay, thanks for sharing. A point you made that should be recalled is that regardless of the women Prince chose to have in his videos and be seen in public dating, you "loved Prince's MUSIC from day one" and that "Black women always had his back and should be acknowledged commercially as well as otherwise". This was and is very important.
The fact that Black women were Prince's initial supporters and stuck with him regardless of their lack of representation in his numerous photos, videos, movies or dates when in public says something. This was also what in this video Michaelanglea Davis was saying, 'darker' sisters would very represented as love interests by a great artist who had many public & performance love interests. His time with Nona was short lived for reasons we may speculate on but can't really know. What's clear is Prince for the most had a definitel 'type' and Nona was the darker standout (token?) that only fit in for a short time.
Thank you SheIsAwareNow for sharing your awareness.
@daddyrichten Only semi-agree on some points, disagree on others. Dwayne 'The Rock' in roles and public isn't even owning his biracial identity, he's embracing his Somaon ethnicity and IGNORING his Black identity. Bro will NEVER allow his African '4c' 'nappy' hair grow (only once on 'Be Cool) because he's afraid it will scare off his white fans (even though Somaons often have natrual hair the smae texture as ours). He's rarely plays a role that identified as even part Black except Spencer on Ballers.
I ina way respect Vin Diesel's playing into his biracial identity because in interviews he's stated that he's a Black man of biracial parentage. And that his stepfather who was black taught him to know and respect his Black heritage which is why he's been trying to develop the Hannibal Barca of Carthage warrior king historical story for years.
Thanks for sharing and also women and men usually are attracted to those who are the complexion of one of their parents.
Yes, he had a type (and it´s perfectly normal), but most women he dated in the last 15 years of his life were black.
Everybody has a preference even the people that are making a big deal of it, its silly....

@@shenyae4143 👍👍👍
Prince loved and enjoyed all shades of women from around the world. Just because they weren't with him in the spotlight doesn't mean they didn't exist. Also he was very upfront with the women about not being exclusive. Even Vanity talked about this in a BET interview when asked if She was Prince's girl and she told Donny Simpson "Prince doesnt have any 1 girl." He obviously made that shit very clear from the jump. Which is quite respectable.
Da Ha Yes I agree prince was with plenty and trust me we didn't see all of them.
I heard he even had a thing for Smurfette
No it's not. He was a pimp wannabe. Plain and simple. There's nothing respectable about having several simultaneous sex partners and flings.
He was not honest with Vanity he pretended she was the only one until she found out she wasn’t

Spicy Hot LOL, I agree
I Wanna Be Your Lover and most of his second album was written about his love for Patrice Rushen so he was definitely into Black women at some point. Prince tried to pretend he was biracial to appeal more to his white fan base and for the same reason he publicly dated light skinned women who mirrored his look. Once he became a legend he stopped caring and went back to brown and dark skinned Black women.
He was a colorist.
So what... that was his business. ✌️

Must of been when Nona herself says the story of Prince and Mayte flashing her engagement ring. .::Modernaire

With all of the stories that I am reading that come from other celebs and fans etc, it seems like Prince was a very good Musician but a crappy person, It seems like everyone that had some kind of personal relationship with him ended up miserable and with hurt feelings....

That little thing called KARMA came with mayte and Prince

I saw that to he had a type. me being a Brown skin women i saw that. He would put the Dark skin men in the videos but not the dark skin women, nobody that looked like Naomi Campbell, Iman , Or have a Toni braxton or Whitney Houston look in his videos. It's like dark women didn't exist in his world and spike lee and Cat Glover had told him that as well. But it is what it is i still love his music. Dark is Beautiful Peace and Be Wild.
nona gaye, demaris lewis, and other dark skinned women whom u would not know if i told u their names were part of his life, but yes 4 the most part he had a certain "type"
I Know that but that was Later on , im speaking of the 1980s not the 1990s and the 2000s. I speaking about the bigger hits in the 1980s u did not see no dark skin women. But the dark skin men not women that's what i was speaking about. And spike lee and Cat Glover had the right to call him out about that.
Look at a mans mother when she is younger if there are pictures and you will get an understanding of what type of women he desires.
You're bang on with that comment. Most look for a hint of their mom or dad in their conquests regardless of whether they were a positive role model or not.
What about the girl in Black Sweat ?????
I’m still trying to understand the point of this story & the message behind it... 🤦🏾♀️
They are insinuating that Prince was a colorist. Which isn’t a lie.
Vernon k8nda boring
Prince didn’t like dark skinned women. Nona dodged a bullet. He didn’t treat his wives like Queens.
the audience is probably saying wtf - what is he talking about
Yep!
People prince was just a man. Does it really matter, what he thought was beautiful?
Anyone on here direspecting black women should take a pencil and write down all the things you find unattractive and hate about black women on a piece of paper and hand it to your mother and sister
He also dated Susan from Vanity 6. But the bottom line is he liked beautiful women and beautiful souls. I don't think there was any discrimination against darker skinned women.
p taylor Susan Moons (the youngest one in Vanity 6) went to high school w/Prince & was his girl then.
p taylor here’s a different point of view, not many people that dealt with prince thought he was a king loving person. He has broken so many souls in his wake. Vanity,Sheila E, Nona, Dez, Jessie Johnson, Alexander O’Neal, the Time, and many others. Most were saved and turned to God. You worship his sex appeal and musical gifts.
if u like thugs u like thugs. if u like nerds u like nerds. if u like dark hair etc. etc. i dont think prince liked blondes. i think it was kim basinger so he dated her. most of the general black female population doesnt usually go for the short light skinned brother as much. but hes prince so you will date him. but hes not most women that complains type. hes exactly the wrong type for them to date with all those insecurities. that relationship would last about three hours. its a control issue. and vernon reid doesnt knw how to tell a story that is true.
Listening to Vernon Reid zapped my energy :-(
people get your facts straight, Prince dated plenty of black women, so what if they were light skinned, if that's what he liked, then that's his preference, did ya"ll forget about Vanity, she"s black, not light skinned, he also was goimg with the other chick in vanity 6, during the purple rain era, the other darkskinned chick, Damn you & insatiable had dark women in the video, Tamar in black sweat video, before he passed away, he was going with an tall dark skin sista name Damerris, so quit riding on about who his preference in women were, Prince was an true brotha, he didn't turn his back on his people, Prince just loved women period. Ya'll aint saying nothing about other black men entertainers or athletes dating & marrying nothing but white women, GTFOH.......

Prince done Nona wrong.he dogged her
He acted like he was allergic to this last black woman he was seen with he seem so not interested in her.prince needed a good woman in his life regardless of her race he need real love and I believe he never found it.prehaps his high school girl was the one but his fame took him another direction in making him to think success is a white or bright skin woman on your arm there is some beautiful dark skin women that will stand by a brother thru good and bad time as long as he is loyal to her.
Jacqueline Perry you are right Jacqueline!
wait. so what happened? You cut out the best part. Where is the rest of it?
How does Vernon go from talking about him seeing Prince at the After show @ the Palladium, with Nona Gaye, seeing Mayte Flash the ring, to a chick saying "Please, please < Please" So this would be January/February 1996
btw. why does beyonce not have short overweight light skinned guys dancing with her in her videos? arent they human too? they dont have to be ugly just really really short. but handsome. why is that? im sure lots of women would love to see that. I sure would. now thats entertainment. and how many dark skinned well known women are looking for five foot light skinned guys that arent prince?
So why was Nona in a corner and what happened before Vernon walked back in the room.....
where is the full interview? where did this come? upload please Thank You So much.
The full interview: ruclips.net/video/PCpE3wRC0Dk/видео.html
Prince had a type because most all of his women either reminded him of Susannah or Vanity, his first two major loves. Most humans look for people that remind them of the true original people they loved. It not anymore more than that so lets not making it about not liking certain types of people. Attraction isn't truly ever consciously motivated.
I just channelled Prince’s spirit and you know what he said??: “ I didn’t have a type! Everybody was my type! I had love 4 every kind of body. Don’t believe the hype!” 🤣
Who the fuck cares. He can be with anybody.

(i have no idea tbh). peopIe Iove to Ieap to concIusions that suit them.
He dated Whitney and Chilli
@SportsFan_9630 Whitney you say?! Really?
Prince, like most celebrities who can pick and choose his lovers chose white looking women.
*The title got it wrong. There was nothing interesting about that story. Those few minutes felt like hours.*
Nonsense. He himself was not black. Not white. Something inbetween. He just looked unaware for an equal.
He had no problem with Black Women. Listen to "Black Muse" dedicated to Damaris Lewis.
Rain bow _ Your comment is Nonsense.
"not black. Not white. Something in between" ?? So, what was he invisible? (BTW, there's a space in the words *inbetween* , I fixed that for you)
"He just looked anaware for an equal" Are you attempting to say .. he looked ANY WHERE.. wow.
People like you always want to strip others of their birthright. If he was born to black parents, then he is a black child. It's his birthright as a human being, he embraced his identity and that of others. Be responsible and respectful with your words.
indiroca808 He is mixed race. Just like me. His roots are black AND white. I am not disrespecful at all - thats only in your head. Do your research, darling x
Rain bow both of Prince parents were black...did they have mix...yes just like most American Black people...some are lighter, brown, or very dark! Both of his parents were African American hailing from Louisiana!
😂 OMG
indiroca808. YOU ARE SO RIGHT HE NEVER CLAIMED ANYTHING BUT BEING A BLACK MAN, BORN TO BLACK PARENTS .
#SayItLoud..I'mBlackAndI'mProud.
O Prince era igual a canção do Martinho da Vila: - já tive mulheres de todas as cores, de várias idades e muitos amores, casada, carente, solteira, feliz, já teve donzela e até meretriz....... 🤣 Ficar com esse papo xué! Poupe-nos.
Why did they wait until they died until they spoke on stuff like this?... like why are they worried about what “type” of women prince were attracted too. It’s not like he ever disrespected darkskin women so why are they upset. This whole video was pointless as hell like why does it even matter what type of black women he liked. Y’all feel so entitled to forcing ppl to date whoever
This was being discussed well before he died.
✨✨✨✨✨♈♬♐ PRINCE!! ♐♬♈ Its Legacy!! Music Royalty!!✨✨✨✨✨I heard he had a crush on Patrice Rushen in his early career.
Rick James said Prince Rogers Nelson wanted to be white? Look it up! And one other thing; Prince revered Marvin Gaye, and ironically when he dated Nona it was the same age difference (17‐18 Yrs) and the same ages Marvin and Nona's late mom Jan were when they engaged. Marvin was ostracized for his actions but Prince wasn'! Interesting.....🤔
and rick james was kidnapper, now what?
Suffice it to say that I've never seen any of these backstabbing losers before in my life. But I and everyone on the planet has heard of Prince, needless to say.
WHY DOESN'T HE TELL WHAT PRINCE,WHO REALLY THOUGHT
OF HIMSELF AS A PRINCE OF
EGYPT, DID FOR HIS BROTHER ?
THAT GIRL IN THE LIMO FROM
TCL, POOR CHILD COULD TELL IT
ALL.
PRINCE IS NOT CHRIST TO HELP
A WRONG DOER OUT OF A JAM.
PRINCE LIKE A CHILD WHO COULD PLAY AND WRITE MUSIC.
THAT 1ST MUSIC WAS NOT ANOINTED BY CHRIST .
GOD GIVEN TALENT , USED FOR
THE UNDER KINGDOM.
Really I HOPE SATAN LOST THAT
ONE.
Interesting? More like boringly unbearable.
Oh cut the foolishness Prince definitely liked women not saying that he didn't like dark women but he had a particular type which when he came of black women were fair or light skinned women and Nona and Julie are not that dark he didn't date women like Lupita when it comes to shades cuz she's very talented and she has achieved a lot in her life Milpitas outstanding so I didn't mean any harm towards her but me and have a tight Prince have a tight and it was obvious he had a type I don't care what none of y'all talking about
Wtf... Was that supposed to be a story?
Prince was a cutie pie- am I right
What the hell did I stumble on? I love Vernon but what the hell is this story? Prince is dead so they are talking about the women he dated and their proximity to whiteness? Oh well, I'd rather chat about his music, him opening for the Stones...
That's also Mpls...if you've lived there for a mn it's honestly not even a sellout thing, because there are an abundance of sellouts there and he wasn't one. It's almost like the light skin thing you'll see out of Louisiana. In some ways that's just they folk.
If you move to Mpls and you're dark-skinned, but never dated a light skinned sister, you probably will have dated two or three by the time you leave...js.
You can be around them Louisiana sisters your whole life though, and good luck...
YAH! THAT LOVEING ALL SHADES
OF WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL GET YOU UNCOVED
BY CHRIST PROTRCTION AND A
DOSE OF AIDES!
YOU GET HIGH , GO LAY DOWN
WITH THE ONE YOU THINK
IS SO LIGHT AND CLEAN, AND
SHE 'S THE ONE THAT WACKED
YOU OUT, WITH MISERY.
Ok where the whole interview??and I've dated white ,brown, dark brown , and I I've been in love with black women,and loved white women why does it bother black women what kind of woman a man attracted too if he happy just be happy for him ..I'm just glad he didn't date dudes lol
I think he was talking about NOna Hendrix
He was talking about Nona Gaye.
Did Vernon mean Ovulating when he said “oscillating?” LoL
😂
