How refreshing 2 have a thread that's not about mayte.
"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15

I think Prince had a very strong relationship with Hannah and her husband Joshua and people like Ida, Liv, Shelby, Damaris etc. It's possible to be close to people without it having to be sexual. But I think you're right, the reason people like Liv and Shelby are good friends and not bitchy towards each other is because neither of them were romantically involved with Prince. That's what I love about his later collaborators. No baggage and no bitchiness.

Mmm not necessarily, there is shade still being thrown around amongst the new girls.damarius and Kirin sharma throwing shade towards judith and that Delilah girl is being shady also.


Definitely a lot of shade amongst his newer protégées. Lalaescarzega mentioned on her Facebook that those in Prince's camp didn't like her & that she got a lot of flack because of how much she looked like Mayte. Delilah has def thrown shade at Mayte over her book. She seemed quite upset on Twitter and said "so many memories. So many women" and other stuff about not being able to live the life she dreams about - makes me think he said stuff to all these women who thought they were the most important to him. Shade is being thrown left, right & centre. I say put them all in a room together - let them thrash it out together lol

Regarding Kim Upsher Dr. Funk says on his latest podcast that Prince only found out she died when the go fund me page was created & he paid for the funeral. So I wonder how close they were in the end if that's how he found out? Funk also said Prince tweeted a coldplay song for Kim & everyone thought it was in reference to the superbowl but it was for Kim. I think he said the tweet was deleted. He also mentioned Prince saying in January that death comes in droves for him what with his parents dying close together sad he hopes the audio from this gig is circulated.

Anyway OT the podcast has Dave back on so is worth everyone tuning in!

of course he did! that's what being a player is all about. tell them whatever they want to hear/ whatever will keep them around. that's master class mindfucking,leading them on. do u really think all these women, new and old, just wanted to ride bikes with him? u should make a list of all the things these women say he told them. it would be very revealing of what they really wanted from him and what they wanted to be to him.

Some Guys Send You Flowers, Prince Gives You Albums’: An Interview With Jill Jones



09/27/2016 10:02 am ET









An emotional moment in 1984’s Purple Rain after The Kid runs outside of First Avenue club after performing the title track to drive away on his bike. Stunned by the roar of cheers, he turns, smiling at the sight of a teary-eyed Jill who he greets with a playful “Hi” before running back inside.






Are they connecting this picture with the quote underneath about the PR scene?





Good catch. It certainly looks that way.

I follow JJ on Instagram and she strikes me as a very direct and upfront person. She doesn't sugarcoat her words at all. I found this interview very insightful but it did make me chuckle when she referenced "plantation mistresses" - I really don't know he managed to control all of these women and it not turn into a cat fight . I agree with her that there are so many trying to place themselves in ranking order of how "close" they were to him. Ive read stories on Twitter & Instagram where they all share similar stories of late night conversations, movie nights, drives in his car, emails. I think some of these women may be a little hurt but they can't confront P so they are bitching over social media!

She gets to the point and makes it plain. ""plantation mistresses" is going to be my new name for the "sister wives" I died laughing when I read this.

I wish people would stop being so dismisive of people who grew up with. These people informed his life and Jill has a point about people perceiving his being some guy who was not connected to his community or culture. He was a brotha and because he did not speak to Kim everyday she was apparently his first love so why would he not be upset.

Jill seems to think that some of the people commenting on him in the media do think this. She expressed this in the interview. Wendy and Lisa were not the only former employees/friends he cared about.

Nobody with a lick of sense in their heads thinks that he and these women were just bike riding friends. I think he got a kick out of chasing women.

Yes and no. I mean...we know from her own communication that Jill can be a bit scattered (putting it mildly), but there are ways to write the interview to make it easier to follow. That is a skill the writer of this does not possess, apparently. Her own writing is as bad as what she's quoting.

But then...I'm only a former journalist - a real one. What do I know?

I'm calling them "Purple Plantation Mistresses". He's probably giving the side-eye to several right now....

I'm starting to realise why he never left a will. I mean can you imagine the feathers flying if some were left out....

"Regarding Kim Upsher Dr. Funk says on his latest podcast that Prince only found out she died when the go fund me page was created & he paid for the funeral. "

Did you not type this? Many people going on after he died how he transended race !!, Many people on this board constantly caring on about Wendy and Lisa as if he the sun rises and sets on their exsistence, People not giving Andre, Dez and Mark Brown for making that Revolution show pop and just the general lack of interest when anyone brings up his association with his black peers or friends.

That is what people don't understand wills can be contested it and with all the chicks he was rolling with I can only imagine what would have happend if some got left out.
