Prince gettin' his mack on again with a new young singer !

The Purple One may have showed up at emerging singer Janelle Monáe's show last night at L.A.'s Viper Room, but he didn't arrive until an hour after she was done.

So instead of coming into the club, Prince held court in his car. Janelle joined him for a little chitchat in the backseat.

Slow down with your dirty assumptions. I've been assured it's completely platonic between the two...

Prince appears to have taken a shine to the young, funky, Atlanta-based singer and recently reached out to her to offer career advice, according to a source.

I'm told on Monday night a bunch of folks headed to Prince's house after Monáe's show with Raphael Saadiq at the Roxy. The little get-together also included one of Prince's signature living-room jam sessions.

Among those who were seen at Monáe's two club gigs this week were Sean "Diddy" Combs (he signed her to his Bad Boy Records), Eddie Murphy, and über-hitmaker Ne-Yo.

Monáe's been on a nonstop tour in support of her album, Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition).

How long will this one be around

That's the last we'll hear of her then.

she's a very VERY very talented and challenging artist in her own right, so it's hard to say how long she'll be around sadly (on Prince's arm and in the public eye)

and puffy's tryna work with her now (she's been down with outkast for years btw)



i really want to see her succeed

You need to get a grip on reality?

could she possibly just be another Tamar?? Sure seems that way to me..

I thought Janelle was a name used on the Exodus CD "those beans were a habit at Janelle 's house" - a name for Mayte?

That's so cold but could be oh so true.

Meh.

seriously people. fuck prince for a moment.


she's dope in her own right.

cool her music sounds really good

She is a totally awesome performer. I love her style. She wrote quite a few songs for Outkast's last movie.

It's been done b 4. She's beautiful though I think Montana shot a photo of her that totally rocks. I saw it on the twins page once. Montana showed me her photo just before we shot my photos. http://www.MontanaUSA.net
Still....the music?? her voice??? Way way old school. But who knows what kind of plans Prince has 4 her.

Cool, I like that first song. Does she have a myspace page?

Janelle, don't accept the kiss of death! don't sign the contract

I put my money on Puffy! I mean poor Tamar. She must have refused to fuck him. She got trashed faster than a super plus tampon during high tide

SirPsycho said:

No shit.
This girl is too good for that. I LOVE Janelle.

Baylana said:

Janelle is Mayte's middle name.

This poor girl. Some1 on here (sorry, username escapes me but if it's U feel free 2 credit yourself) once wisely said that "Paisley Park is where budding talent goes 2 die" and they were completely on point. Some1 would b wise 2 hip this young lady 2 that fact.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Tamar left on her own because she wanted to. And it wasn't on bad terms.

Dayclear said:

Same as usual - long enough for him to bust a nut...

Janelle already has a record deal and a bunch of albums planned to follow Metropolis...why is it impossible that they were talking...or fucking or whatever and not signing contracts and shit?

ToraToraDreams said:

cuz she's a pretty girl within 2 feet of a hornball like "skipper"

SirPsycho said:

But don't she already got a deal for, like, a bunch records with P diddy for the Metropolis project?
It's not like she's stumbling around the street begging for spare record deals. uuhhh
