What is up with all this drama surrounding Prince as of late? Everytime I turn on the computer, Prince's name is in the news about something. I wish it were all good like the awesome concert reviews..lately its been all negative stuff making him look like a real butthead, and I don't like that crap!

I doubt P had anything to do with it, but if he did, I wouldn't blame him. Eric and Mani both need to disappear, they are insignificant. Who cares if they are un-invited. P shouldn't have to deal with their bs right now if he don't want to, its too damn awkward! I think this is just all bs anyway though to try and pain P as a bad guy once again. The media loves to diss on poor P.

You must not have a clue how things works in the Prince world? Everything revolves around Prince! The whole world included eats out of the palm of his hand!! His ex's. They all want P back, they try and move on but realize that not one man out there is better than P and would take him back in a heartbeat. She shouldn't have been at the awards with her new man, but its all good b/c she took a step down from P and right about now, P took a step up from her!

Even if Prince did have something to do with it could you blame him? I mean it was really in poor taste for Mani and Eric to show up at his Lifetime Achievement Award for BET You would think that Mani would have more class than that but we are talking about the woman who basically stole a married man, so I guess not.

I think ripping on Mani is a little out of line. Prince is ultimately responsible for what happened. Mani did not "steal" him away from Mayte. The time period that Mani was with Prince was easily the most "normal and accessable" Prince that we as fans have ever really seen him. SHE was not one of his little protege's but rather a die hard Prince fan herself. ONA and Musicology has her touch all behind the scenes. Prince's "comeback" was orchestrated by her more than you might want to admit.

I will agree with that. When P got with Mani, I was really glad for him that he seemed to have found a mature and intelligent, yet young and beautiful young lady. He seemed really different while married to her, he seemed approachable and sweet. She brought out good qualities in him that no other woman has. I didn't start to get annoyed with her really until she left Prince, then hooked up with Eric Benet of all people. It won't last, he can't be trusted! Sex addicts will sleep with anything walking. He is so irrelevant and lame!

I think Prince should showup at Eric Benet concerts wearing a flowing black shirt with embroidered letters in purple reading " HAD IT FIRST! " on the front and " HOW DO TASTE? " on the back.

[Edited 2/13/11 14:23pm]

'how do i taste' would be sufficient

But who knows what happened, it's all just gossip.

Yep, nothing like moving on and living a good life with no ill feelings toward others. I may have chosen to not believe in a god but that doesn't mean I have no belief in good. And the latter is always the best way to go.

Oh, here you go, again.

Didn't you get the memo that this is not Prince's world?

Mani and Eric are free to go anywhere they so choose and if Prince (again, if Prince) was to be that bothered (which I seriously doubt) by their presence, then he is free to go.

It's not his party; therefore, he doesn't have any right to say who can/can't come or who stays/leaves.

You are sooooo delusional. Your world is the only one that revolves around Prince. And to say, that she shouldn't be at the awards with her new man is utterly ridiculous, because her new man is a singer...and the event was a a pre-Grammy event. Singer...Grammy?

You can't be serious? Prince reportedly cheated on every woman he was with, yet, you chose to condemn Eric for being a cheater?

I, cordially, invite you to remove your purple-tinted glasses and join us in the real world.

Allof these comments about these folks personal lives are comical.

Unless u KNOW them on a real level.........u DON'T have any idea of what u are talking about.

Yes, reportly, because none of us know what really happened in either case. Unless you were in a relationship with either man, who's really to say anything about that.

But, if you (general, not personal) are going to chastise Eric, then you should be chastising Prince as well. Just as Halle should have done her research on Eric, Mani should have went into her marriage with some insight.

I may a member of prince.org, but i'm sorry, I won't subscribe to the "Prince is always the victim" mentality. He has too much of a track record.

So all of a sudden I'm a "fam" who thinks the world revolves around Prince? When did I earn that title?

Look, I might attend any number of functions where I might run into an ex by chance but I doubt that I would attend an event where he was being specifically honored regardless of who my man was, but that's just me...like I said, Mani can go wherever she likes.

You didn't. I didn't say "contrary to your fam beliefs". I said "contrary to fam beliefs" meaning fams in general.

To each his or her own. However, like I did say, that event was not just for nor about Prince. She had as much right to be there as anybody else.

If the relationship and ending of it weren't volatile, there is nothing written in stone that says exs have to avoid each other.

Oh, alrighty then, fams in general...got it.

The dynamics between them is anybody's guess...it's just that I would have made a different choice in that one particular scenario.

that's a fair point. but it's important to note that the 2010 BET Awards DID revolve around Prince. until last year, had she ever been to a BET Awards ceremony unless it was on the arm of her ex-husband?

I normally respect your opinions, Hatrina. But in this case, Mani was just being tacky.

I can respect that, too. I just see it in a different way and I'm no fan of Mani's in any possible type of way.

Don't get your panties in an uproar...I was joking. But I'd say at least 70% of the ppl on this board lives revolved around Prince! So get over yourself! Anytime you come to this board off and on all day, own most of an artists albums, and go to 6 concerts in a row...I'd say you are pretty addicted! And that describes MANY people on this board, even the ones that try to pretend it ain't. Notice how much they post! You're delusional if you can't see that!

And I don't give a eff what you say...Mani isn't a singer, she don't need to be anywhere where Prince is if she had any decency! She shouldn't have shown up at the BET awards and showing up at such an event like the pre-show was tacky of her and Eric. But its all good, cause Misty and P are 1000x more hotter than Mani and Eric!

You have no proof nor has Prince admitted to cheating...you are going solely on speculation. Eric ADMITTED to having a SEX ADDICTION!! And I'm not condemning him, I'm stating the obvious. He is a sex addict, he can't be trusted. I don't see P as a sex addict. Big difference!

unless one of you orgers is prince's siamese twin covered by harry potter's invisibilty cloak o0nly he know the truth.

the same statement goes for the drug thread and rumors of the coke and ecstasy use...

Well, to my knowledge, there are a lot of non-singers that show up at the Grammy's. So are we going to say that they shouldn't be there either? I'm sure Prince would be glad that he has someone like you supporting him. As far as, Daphne's Guide of Prince Addiction, I don't qualify. I do visit Org to see the various responses to threads that I find interesting, but I don't own a lot of Prince's album and I haven't been to a Prince concert. (boo hoo, ) But, I do consider myself a Prince fan. You do know that you can be a fan of someone/thing w/o going to extremes, right?

Honey, you're love for Prince is scary.

Of course, you don't.

Prince is not God; therefore, it is safe to say that he is not without fault.

Just because someone hasn't admitted to something, doesn't mean that it's not true. If you are in doubt of that see above statement.

Let's end it here, at the end of the day, what Prince does and who Prince "do" is on him. I don't care. I have no personal stake in his life, nor do you. And the same is true for anyone associated w/ Prince, who their with and what they do.

^Post of the Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure Mani knew that showing up on Eric's arm, glowing from all the alimony payments, would be rubbing it in Prince's face big time..damn Mani this broad continues to do him in.
