Shelby J interview with Roland Martin

Part 1 is up. Interesting backstory on how she came to work with Prince. Also she said he got to hear her new album and loved it. I'm sure if he was still here he would be promoting it just like he did with Liv Warfield. 💜

She didn't tour with Prince and 3EG in 2015 but she was at a Paisley Park event in January 2016.

Part 2: https://youtu.be/BiFID5K8cS0

At the end of it Martin teases part 3 where Shelby talks about the last year of Prince's life and how she felt he knew his time on earth was almost done. Hmm...

Thanks for posting. I wonder if there are things Shelby knew (that she will never share) or if just looking back she now realizes that he perhaps knew his time was limited?

--She could just be looking back in hindsight. Remember Morris Day side Prince would have never have told anyone he was ill. I think a few people know the details as time goes on they will open up. I just hope he was at peace with himself.

Yeah I just thought those comments were interesting. I do think her comments are more about looking back in hindsight than anything specific though I'm sure there are lots of intimate things they discussed over the years. There's something though that just warms the heart about how they all had each other's backs. It's clear people like Shelby, Adrian, etc. were/are very projective of Prince but at the same time he was supportive and encouraging them to do their own thing knowing they wouldn't be with him forever. I have no doubt if P was still around he'd be promoting Shelby, Liv and Adrian's news music like he did in the past with Andy Allo, Judith Hill and others.

Even if Shelby's only commenting from "hindsight", having someone who was around P and got to see him in those last few months speak on feeling that P might've known what was was imminent gives me a measure of peace.

The more we see that he might've known and wasn't simply plucked away like an unripe piece of fruit...

It will always sadden me to know he's gone, but just knowing that he wasn't helpless in getting ready...vulnerable, sure, but not completely unknowing...

I'm probably not articulating this well, as this one topic leaves me bereft...

I wonder if people are wrestling with how much they should reveal. I know he was private, but it seems a part of him was opening up even to the fans. That's a helluva balancing act. I don't envy it.

I thought you expressed that very well and clearly. I feel the same.

By the way Rogifan, I posted this on the PMAM forum not realizing you already had it here. Thanks for being so cool, as always...

Yes. It must be difficult.
