Did Prince do drugs?

I've heard some people mention him having an addiction...I couldn't find anything that confirmed it though. I agree that some of his lyrics imply it at times, but, with the exception of the few people I heard mention it (they were discussing a pictures of his and how it was "after the drugs") I haven't heard anything about it. Have you guys?

And together we'll stare into silence.

It's well known that Prince is addicted to Nilla Wafers, which contain trace amounts of oxycontin, methamphetamine and tampon fibers.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

He did an interview with NME during the Emancipation period where he was trying to be all 'open' to show what a difference not being contracted made...they asked him if he'd ever done drugs and he replied along the lines of "I'm interested in all sorts of experiences that are out there"

Well, if you hadn't heard it confirmed anywhere else, it's likely to be confirmed in this impromptu thread.

Edit: No wait, I meant NOT likely.

he makes cocaine lollipops in his basement.

the phrase 'guess i'm just a sucker in the dream factory' is definitely evidence of this.

think of him as the willy wonka of drug trafficking lol

when his supply runs out he pens songs like 'no more candy for U'

this too shall pass

Funny that you say 'I couldn't find anything'.

That only means you couldn't be bothered to search for any of the 1341987450297452389745297346209436297346297346293746'20893476'28097346 weekly posts about this subject.

I don't have any facts but if you have ever seen the video w/ him MJ and James Brown I'd have to say nod

I'm sure it's all in the past though........we all have our past mistakes don't we?

His output of the last 15 years have driven ME to drugs.

And so the question isn't: did he do drugs, but SHOULD he? And the answer is yes.

Whatever he did or didn't do in the past, at least he isn't dumb enough to do it now. There's nothing more sad than a middle-aged drug addict! confused

In the VH1 special "Love 4 One Another" (part one, if it is divided up into 5 parts as is the custom in certain situations wink ) he hits a bong onstage (back next to the bass player) from 4:25 to 4:35 in the first song. The bong is blurred out, but you can clearly see him exhale and see/hear him coughing. I am not allowed to post a link to said video, but it really isn't hard to find. Who knows if he still smokes the weed, but that night he sure did.

I'm just saying...

I saw parts 1-4 of the L4OA movie on yt, and I didn't see any drugs - just a crazy fanatic from Texas (maybe her charcter was an drug addict). Part 5 would not play last night, all parts are gone this morning. Don't know how the drama ended.

And it explains his fascination with all things Cap'n Crunch, Doritos and Mac & Cheese. Oh, and the paranoia.

Hey PaisleyRose, did you happen to see the part that these pictures are from? They are from part one. Exactly 4:25 to 4:35. Watch it again, it happens right on camera. You can clearly see the smoke, and see and hear him coughing right afterwards. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
