Wow it sounds like you had some wild times in Minn. I found this wild story or one of the Goggle message boards a long time ago and I wondered if you heard this while you were in Minn. In sounds crazy because every famous person has a story about a hidden child and I am not sure how anything can be hidden now a days. Read the post from Goggle.

Looks like it's out there anyway.

In '94 when I was there this girls was hanging out alot at the parties
and she'd come in the store and all. Whenever she did Minnie and the
rest of the folks would get all wierded out. So I was like, "Why do
you guys get wierded out" or something, and Minnie tells me this story
about how when girls come in here, they might have a ring on a certain
finger... Turns out Prince would give his girls these rings to
signify ownership or some crap... It all sounds like BS, I'm just
repeating what I was told.
So anyway...
There was this one tall lanky girl, I NEVER found her attractive in
ANY way... But she would come in and everyone would clam up. This
was "Fern", I seem to remember her name being "Tree" or something but
I'm one for calling folks names and that's their name from then on.
She reminded me of a tree because she was all tall and lanky and all
nasty like a tree in winter without leaves. So, I watch her and I
always notice when she came out she'd do whatever she could to get
Prince to talk to her but he never would. He'd move from one side of
the DJ booth or the room and there she;d go as well. That was normal
fr everyone there but this girl was wierder. So I start noticing her
getting kicked out for trying to talk to him and stuff like that. So
I finally just say "What's her deal?" Seems she's from somewhere over
seas or something and Prince sexed her, she got pregnant, and she had
his baby. He paid her off and either set her up in a house somewhere
in England and made her leave there or he met her there and paid her
off or whatever... My memory isn't so good on this story.


Wahetever, long story short... Prince got her pregnant and paid her a
sick amount to stay away from him and never tell anyone about the
baby. Shipped her to a house in England and now she was back and NOT
welcome. She dissapeared and I never heard another thing about her or
this story.


This may all be bullshnig but who knows.....


If anyone knows anything else about this please post what ya know.
I'd like to freshen my memory up.


Oh, the ring story had something to do with "Fern" but now I lost
myself. smile


from what i heard, this chick's name was WILLOW...

anyway i never heard that tree story, however by 94 i was gone. it seems like he would claim his child, why wouldn't..that's his legacy..unless the baby was somehow deformed like he and mayte's baby. that's the only thing that comes to mind. even so, it sounds heartless. but anything could be true.

i have not spoken with or seen robin since the breakup of the dames! but i just have a few minutes and i will tell you this...there was a member of the group who was..i kid you not a bonafide nymphomaniac(spelling?) she had to have it be it male or female it made for very interesting people watching, this person was very creative with their episodes. sometimes she would put candles and plants in the shower and spend hours in there with the chosen one, she said it was her waterfall thing. one time someone came into town and she made her room into something straight out of the arabian nights and i was in on this particular episode..i was dressed as a maiden or whatever..my face was covered with a veil and i had on a kinda arabian night i dream of jeannie outfit. my job was not to say a word and feed them grapes and fan them. i can tell you that i stayed silent and fannning for the WHOLE thing. eyepop man i'mtelling you i had some awesome experiences during my hardcore musician days

I can't imagine Prince getting someone pregnant by accident - according to Robin he was extremely careful about that. Do you remember what I mean Bass? But you never know, and I too was gone in '91 and that story is from '94. I never heard any stories about special rings either. That doesn't mean it's not true - just that I didn't hear anything about that.

Thanks for your input. I really can't imagine this is true either but, it a story that is floating around on the net.

Now when are we going to get some more juicy tales about the Uptown Dames days.

...at least from the story about the rings, I can confirm that he at least used to gift his band members with rings (circa mid 1990's), really tacky ones with their respective first name initials...I was mortified the first time I was shown one (because all I could think was "all that damn money and he couldn't get y'all nothing more TASTEFUL than that???). I remember those chil'ren wearing those rings like they were members of the Skull & Bones, lol!
