So who IS Prince's "manager"

With the recent UK Hit N Run shows and Kiran tweeting etc (and her mini biog on Twitter) I had assumed she was his "manager".

According to the Mojo article Prince's manager is Trevor Guy (who is also Donna Grantis' husband).

So who is it? confused

'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.

Kirans twitter claims she is his manager...but I'm not interested enough to know how long she has been. I got the impressions he's fairly new to it with her 'ruthless' approach during this tour to money, hype and sales like she was trying to prove her worth.

Having said that I imagine any manager Prince has is just a glorified PA...he does what he wants, when he wants and fuck everyone else

That would have been my guess too, being his manager would be a nightmare at this stage in the game, not sure I would class Kiran as his manager, she seems to be more PR than anything, plus she is too old, since he is now into working with young people lol
He just seems to choose random people to be his manager, just depends on who is in his good books at the time

Trevor was the name of his head of security a while back.

She has been his manager a number of years and am sure she is providing a good service as think fans have been treated better on this tour than previous ones and I think twitter helps as does the fans helping each other. I recall seeing a pic of Prince with Bria and Kiran at the French fashion shows a few years ago and the caption stated Kiran was his manager at the time

The Mojo interviewer called Trevor his "de facto" manager of sorts, which I guess means Prince keeps him aorund to take care of random things for him in typical a hoc Prince fashion. Maybe Kiran takes care of him while in Europe and Trevor is a backup wherever else he may be at a given moment. Not sure.

Change it one more time..

'Glorified PA' is probably the most accurate description of her.

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

I'm sure she does much more than we could comprehend but her public persona during this Hit N Run tour didn't seem to good - it was really that of a celebrity courting, money making attack dog. Some people said she was helpful - I disagree; she knowingly started a stampede for London by suggesting there was a show , she got the preposterous Madsme Tussauds tweet along with all the fans saying 'I'm heading for London' and did nothing, she announced tickets were £70 then backtracked when people kicked up...so just refused to tell anybody what the price was in future to avoid the same and spent a great deal if time whipping up a frenzy about buying PBL. In the words of Luke Skywalker to Bib Fortuna "you serve your master well"

Na, I heard Julia walked and doesnt work with Prince anymore. I have no idea the accuracy of that but thats what I read.

Its been mentioned, but aside from being a glorified PA, Kiran was P's f*** buddy. Not surprising, considering how obsessed she seems to be with him on her twitter. lol

Yea, was. Back in '09-'10 or around that time where she soon after stepped down and thats when Julia came around. Which from rumor, I guess is not around anymore.
