It is a real pic. It's about the time when Prince went on tour with Rick James in the early 80's. This pic looks like around late 80, or early 81.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Why wouldn't this be a real pic? They did tour together, know each other. This is an old pic, and it's blurry but I have no reason to think it's a fake

Prince's height looks about right, and he did wear his hair like that (Dirty Mind era). I don't think that's a girl.

instead of saying cheese when I take a picture, Imma say PHIMOSIS

When they toured together, Prince was looking like he did on the 1979 "Prince" album. The picture looks like Prince during the "Controversy" era. I can't see the two of them taking a picture together during the "Controversy/Street Songs" era unless they were getting ready to have a fighting match. lol

It's a real pic.In his book,Rick talks about the time when Prince disrespected Rick's mother by ignoring her.She asked for his autograph but Prince pretended he didn't see or hear her.

Rick was pissed.Steve Fargnoli (Prince's manager) tried to calm a tense situation and asked Prince to apologize to Rick,which he did.Someone snapped this photo as Prince apologized.
