I've said my piece now. You may continue.

I apologize, didn't mean to offend; it's just that sometimes when it cones to being involved with more than one woman; the perspective/thoughts of those born traditionally identified as female differs somewhat from those traditionally identified as male. Peace and love

lol, I'm not offended. I was just kidding.

As for the topic, Prince was abusing his power. He was quite careless with other peoples' emotions. But of course he had his own issues which were driving his asshole-like behaviour.

But that's only my male perspective.

Nona Gaye & Mom Say Rick James Forced Her To Stop Heavy Drug Addiction

Rick James, Janis Gaye, Nona Gaye

In an interview with Nona Gaye and her mom, Janis Gaye said Rick James stepped up after his friend, Marvin Gaye’s untimely death.

.

Nona Gaye was 9 when Marvin was killed by his father. Both she and mom credit Rick James with saving their lives, getting Jan off of drugs and treating them like ‘gold.’ Shocking, considering Rick James’ lifestyle. With Marvin leaving no will and the IRS and creditors hounding the family, Nona said Rick was the one person they could count on for money. She says he literally saved their lives.

“After my husband was killed, I slipped into heavy drugs,” says Janis. “I was very depressed. I wanted to just die like him.” She credits Rick for sending them to a clinic to get cleaned up. According to her, “Rick said your life will be better for it.” The strange thing about it was she said it was crazy because Rick was one person she used to get high with. Now he was changing their lives. By the early 90s, James’ career had stalled and only Teena Marie could deal with him and his habit. But Rick kicked it and tried to save a few others. This is proof that things aren’t always what they seem on the outside. Just when you think you know a person, they sometimes shock you. Outside of the drugs, the alcohol, and wild sex stories, this shows that Rick was still a man of character beneath it all.

.

Nona Gaye also spoke on how she always saw her Dad (Marvin Gaye) and mother, Jan, do drugs and knew they had a problem. Then, like parents, like child – she unfortunately started doing drugs too at 14 and eventually would do them with her Mom.

Through all of that, Nona was still able find success on film, rather than following the career path of her late father, Marvin Gaye (1939–84). Nona Gaye made one record in the early 1990s before vanishing into years of substance abuse. Becoming a parent herself in 1997 forced her into a

healthier lifestyle, and she began earning notice for her small, but well-executed supporting roles in films such as Ali and The Gospel. She also replaced Aaliyah in the two Matrix sequels after our beloved Aaliyah sadly passed away in a plane crash.

.

Gaye and her younger brother grew up in New York City, Los Angeles, and Ostende, Belgium, where their father had settled for tax reasons. The marriage between her parents, which lasted from 1977 to 1981, was a troubled one, and both had substance abuse problems, but the extreme love Marvin and Jan had for one another seems to still be there even after Marvin’s death.

.

Here is Nona Gaye speaking on the phone with TV ONE about PRINCE'S passing

Nona Gaye was and still is a beautiful lady and Im glad that Rick James tried to do something.

Prince had a song called Donald Trump. Need I say more? Prince was the black Hugh Hefner.

Why do people on the org expect a high calibre artist such as Prince to adhere to the same moral standards as the average Joe? He was one of the greatest pop artists of the 20th and 21st century, he had tons of money, looked good, was always well groomed and handsome and charming, tons of talent and had a way with the ladies....why do you expect him to settle down with just one woman if that´s not really his thing?

I bet he could´ve had a much more relaxed life if he wasn´t confronted with the expectations of society and some of his less understanding women.

By the way, before anybody here calls me sexist....I think the same standards apply to artistic women as well.

You can´t judge such special people by your standards. Look at Picasso and all those fucking rockstars...at least Prince didn´t physically abuse his ladies and did not humiliate them, except for a few rare cases.

He was Prince, the one and only. His royal badness. He played guitar.

What did you expect?

And yes, he was not only dating Mayte and Nona at the same time, but Carmen Electra, too.

And why not?

As artist themselves they also understood inspiration and the elements involved in the creative process.

Choosing to avoid being the cause or being labelled the cause that might negatively affect them.

Therefore I suppose, romantically he was also allow to be the “Artist” and only had room for a muse.

It is my guess that most were well aware and knew the rules going in

and did not Kid themselves or pretend that it was more than what it is.

As if the choice was theirs to decide that if they had spent the night with the writer of “Let’s Pretend We’re Married” or “Somebody’s Somebody.”

As if they dwelled upon and ponder “if,” Last-night could last or if it were the last…

each time wanting to deny the outcome’s inevitability and also it’s frequency,

willfully ignoring each “pondering” is defining insanity?

Not likely… especially knowing what often mused him.

Knowing full well when when they spent the night with the writer of _____________ .

But possibly, having once mused him to move his pen (if that’s what he said)

once having been immortalized within a write,

you truly try to understand the nuance that influenced his creative process,

you protect and jealously guard his abilities as precious.

Guarding them even from himself, and would choose to leave rather than threaten his success.

Who could bear to know and or be labelled with the idea

that they in some way interfered with his creative mechanism of his genius

or that they have distracted an inspiration at the tipping point of fruition

as a direct result of their desire to bind, confine or define his parameters,

limiting and thus changing who he was…

not when it is the Artist that they truly loved.

Thanks, that was deep

I think that Nona, Mayte, Carmen and anyone else just dealt with Prince's lifestyle in an attempt to stay on the team. Let's not forget that all of them were trying to make it in the industry and he was bankrolling all of it. I'm not saying that the women didn't love him because we know for fact that Nona and M1 did. I also think they were waiting around to see who would be the last woman standing and nobody expected a playboy like P to suddenly get married. I saw a brief interview with Nona after the Robin Thicke case and she didn't quite look like herself to me but she looked healthy.

I agree. They all were pursuing musical careers and they knew Prince could take them there. But I think he was also conscientious and caring enough of people's feelings to be upfront and honest about his desires and intentions. If he slept with them all, then he probably laid it all out on the table to share in or move on, and that there would be zero emotional issues, drama, or cat fighting.

It's amazing how he orchestrated his personal life where there was zero drama coming out of his camp for all those years. And it's obvious that his women were simply proud to have been chosen, and proud to have shared intimacy with him, and I'm sure it was absolutely mindblowing to have Prince love and caress you. He seemed so gentle and attentive that I think they immediately fell in love and wanted to stay around on the team. I think I would have too.

that's a nice sentiment but to me it reads like complete bullshit.

i'm not sure that's true. there was plenty of jealousy behind closed doors. according to jill and susannah. i think susan moonsie and sheila eventually bowed out of the sweepstakes.
