Yes, I think so. Although I don't know if much of the public knew about it, since nothing was really confirmed. She seemed to confirm it with her tribute post after he passed and he hinted at it in songs on AOA and Hit N Run. I believe they met through the Africa Channel network, they invited her to his concert during the 21 nights at the Forum run. Then she joined him on the tour in Europe, summer of 2011.

They met at the African Musical Channel

Singer-songwriter Andy Allo met Prince at an event with the Africa Channel in L.A. Andy is originally from Cameroon), and it was love at first sight...er, sound. "We jammed a couple of times, and it was really cool. I wasn't nervous around him because he's such a comfortable person. We were joking around, and I realized right from the get-go that I could be myself," Andy says of first meeting the pop legend. Clearly, the feeling was mutual

Here is a picture of him with her face on his chest. Never seen him do that before.

Why did I think she made a comment that he made a pass at her, but she realized it was smarter for them to be professionally linked, rather than romantically linked? Well, if she had him, good for her.

She fanned out over that very picture at the time- something about asking him why he had her face on his top so he said because he loved her & she didn't know what to do. So she took to social media to ask the world. Someone else must remember this?

--I remember. I also remember the picture of the guitar next to a bed on her Facebook. She said she woke up and found a vintage 1973 guitar next to her bed. I also remember a pic of a wedding dress. Really strange stuff either they were a couple or not. I know she said in her Facebook post after his death she knew love and heartbreak with him.

And there was the sharpie love hearts on the ring fingers too kids

A picture of a wedding dress? Sharpie love hearts on their ring fingers? Wow...the sharpie hearts is both cute and funny at the same time. Some of the songs Andy sings on her Facebook page sound like Prince may have broken her heart. (If they are about him....I hope she's had other men since Prince so maybe the songs are about someone else....but about a love giving her the cold shoulder...her giving and trying the best she could ect... She is very cute and has a very positive personality and it's sad to think she ended up unhappy in the end when the relationship faded or whatever happened (if that is the case.)

I wonder where Damaris fits into this timeline. Wasnt' she connected to Prince around 2011 as well?

(We know Prince typically had several women going on at the same time....so I was wondering about this)

^ She did say he taught her about love/heartbreak in her post after he passed.

I didn't think they were ever a couple?

I got the impression Prince was crazy about her but she seemed more hesitant. Perhaps she wanted to be an artist and not a Prince girl. I think "This is what it feels like" and "Time" are telling of their relationship.

She was on French TV with him, during "The Jam" he calls for her solo and she fluffs it, but you can see Prince cover for her, which is adorable really. Given there once was a time when he'd have sacked someone for making him look bad.

I like Andy, but she seemed to come onto the scene then she seemed to go off and do her own thing for a while, then "Oui can love" happened.

iirc, prince switches on her guitar- literally and then plays it anyway. wendy was a bit younger when she palyed the 8/83 gig but had a better grasp ofthe basics and nice rhythm. andy stood around looking scared and then prince gave her things to do like draw pictures and goof around. at the time it reminded me of a quote from TBarbarella about prince making mayte do a cd just to spend time with her. to say she(aa) was out of her depth onstage is an understatement. which is strange to me since she was obviously gunning for fame before she met him. he gave her the spotlight and she choked. or maybe balked because she didn't just disappear when she left. she did more releases and gigs etc.

^ That

My bad, it's actually not during "The Jam" it's a version of "We live (to get funky) that borrows from the format of "The Jam".

She just got nervous around Prince. She's great on her own. I would imagine it's a bit intimidating trying to keep up with a R&R Hall of Famer and one of the greatest guitar players ever, and if there was something romantic going on, it just added to the pressure.
