My editor cutting that part isn't a red flag. I can tell you right now my editor didn't call up Tyka like "Hey gurl..." biggrin It was edited for length and to fit the vertical it was placed in, which was Parenting. I usually write for the Entertainment vertical, and when I submitted the piece I knew she would have to cut a lot out. I requested she leave in as much as possible about fan reaction, rumors, etc. as space allowed, but not everything could be kept, and I understand that. My editor also isn't on the org or LSA reading how everyone is dissecting this book. While we think that detail is super important, the general public who isn't a hardcore Prince fam neither knows who Tyka and Omarr are nor cares what they think of the book, kwim?


Edited for spelling


[Edited 4/11/17 20:19pm]



You didnt answer the question. How did Tyka and Omar communicate to Mayte that she had their blessing? Thanks. . [Edited 4/12/17 7:56am]


Wonder505, BillieBalloon, Babynoz and anyone else who asked about why the alleged support of Tyka and Omarr was deleted from the article...iwantcandy mentioned space limitation which is a realistic explantion, however, I can add another.


While I am not the editor of the website and cannot guarantee that this is what happened, I have been an editor (publishing house as well as free-lance) and I can assure you that I would not publish unconfirmed information without first speaking with Tyka and Omarr.



Judging by what iwantcandy said, it sounds like Mayte told her that she had their support but did not offer specifics as to how that support was communicated, so that information is considered unconfirmed (in my experience in the publishing world).


Responsible editors do include second-hand information because it has the potential to lead to litigation. Guess who has the deepest pockets…and the doctrine of deep pockets haunts editors LOL!



As for what is being alleged about Prince, if he was still walking the Earth, he would be free to legally dispute what is written about him. Sadly, in his current state, he cannot.



Please do not take this as gospel as I am not an editor for this publication, however, it may shed some additional light on this issue.





Thank you for your insight.
Baby, you're a star.

Meet me in another world, space and joy

I've read the book too. It's a better read than i thought it would be. Where were her love letters to him?

Her book is beautiful, and his love love letters are tucked neatly within the pages of this beautiful book. Maybe she did not want to share those and she wanted to keep the letters she wrote to him private, and not share with the world. But it is incredible that she loved him so much. The love that she showed/shows to him is palpable within the pages, and this is truly their love story, even though it ended the way it did. [Edited 4/12/17 18:14pm]



Then she told half a story. She conveniently left out her actions in HER story. Nobody is disputing they loved each other, but the rest of this, I can't roll with it. I got the confirmation I needed.


I'm sorry but just because she left out her letters doesn't imply she's being deceptive. I would imagine she's embarrassed at the content of her letters if P's replies are anything to go by. What 44 year old would show love letters from their naive and insecure teens. I'd cringe at mine too. Why is everything scrutinized so much here?

Seriously? You want to write a book about yourself but are too embrassed about yourself to talk about yourself? How that sound? All the yadda about it being HER story yet her part in the story is missing. Yeah, nice try, but you're about to snap in several pieces with all the stretching you have to do on that one.

Just wanted to add, why would she have copies of her own letters? If Prince kept them after he received them, I'm sure they were with his belongings after their split. She didn't even get all of her own belongings back, let alone letters she sent him years prior.

iirc, in the book she said prince gifted her a book with her letters in it, showing he didn't throw them away. How convienent to have every single love letter of his in Spain, but not one from that book.

Oh, and she also told me she had Tyka and Omarr's blessing to write the book - for some reason, my editor cut that part out.

The family have ignored this book, not a single thing on their Twitter, no promotion or comment at all. Theyve promoted Sheila, the twinz, Andre and a host of others.

They did post about her having a book signing in Florida. They had emoli's of thumbs up.

Hmmm, I don't understand her response about the fans. What does that have to do with the timing of her releasing the book after his death and not before? And what do play dates and socializing have to with this? What does she mean by we don't know him? Does that mean he would have been okay with this book and if so why?can someone explain? And what does she mean Tyka and Omar gave the book their blessing? How was this communicated? Isn't it a red flag that the editor cut that part out?

The family did post their support with thumbs up to her book signing in Florida..And at the end of her book she Thanks them.

These people have talent and have been working all the time. Never stopped working before Prince died and they are not telling people how they lost their virginity, who had something bad in their gene pool, or who had an affair with whom.

In other words that are making a living from their talent not gossip and personal info.

Mayte is entitled to generate an income nothing is stopping her from getting a job.

Evidently Mayte is more successful then you give her credit for. Look at her net worth. So once again Laura, you are letting your hate get in the way of the truth.

She’s been a fantastic performer as well as a great belly dancer and her moves and dancing can make anyone more level. She’s also a vocalist as well as a choreographer. She’s none besides Mayte Garcia. Only at that age she’s already been really successful and her incredible work has made her great gains and a fiscally sound life. She’s a resounding net worth of 2.5 million U.S dollars and this shows how successful she’s been in her career.

You talk as if you were someone important or a high figure. As if one would read your comments thinking "Wow! BabyNoz is my hero, she is fearless, and will take anyone down to the ground" or something. Well, I'm sorry to cut your dream short and have you wake up to the reality. All the people who remain silent are either bored because your statements eventually make no sense, or they read literacy words initially aiming at intimidating but eventually having no substance (notice how your words are repetitive "nive try" "again" "tap dancing" "not dancing" "Im not having it"...), or even more support you so you can support them as if having a group against one. It gets simply tiring to read your posts.

Wake up and smell your crap, lady. I won't stop because you are not my friend and the only reason why you'll derail this thread is because you want to have the last word....it would make you look bad otherwise.



I'm not the one who derailed the thread due to being offended by legitimate questions and critique of the book. All I did was correct your baseless comments about Tyka and Omarr. You chose to get personal so you need to own your own darkness, little girl. You are the one who came at me first and you want to cry now that you got what you came for.

You are going all over west hell and left field because I told you that you were WRONG. That is when you got pissy. Now you want to re-write the script and play victim? Again, not today. lol It isn't working for M1 and it will not work for you.

You lost many of your "friends" when were clowned off of this site once before for posting lame vids of yourself and implying that Prince was interested in you when you hung around PP being thirsty and hoping P would give you the time of day.

Yeah, I remember....you wont stop? Fine with me.

Talk all you want but you will STILL be WRONG about Tyka and Omarr.

I've had a glass of wine and I totally want to see these videos!

Doesn't matter if it's true or not the fact is they printed it. Also I'm not aware of Mayte going after any of these tabloid sites for lying or misrepresenting what she wrote in her book.

I am sorry you believe everything you read on the internet. If you think she made the bulk of her money belly dancing you need to seek help. I can believe she made money from T.V apperences and selling that mansion and I hope she invested it well but you are not going to get rich belly dancing.

That would be called "book advance money". Dig up her net worth 4/20/2016. Also like Laura said where do think 2.5ml came from? I have never seen her act, heard her sing, or have seen here proffesionally dance in anything other than with prince. Maybe she is dancing in restaurants again, according to her book you can make 6 figures doing that. Blahhhhhgg

lol I doubt it, the money pull is too strong, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.


Mayte is not entitled to generate an income? If Sheila E, The Rev (if his unfortunate passing hadn't transpired, they would not be touring), Jill Jones (miss u song), other book writers, photographers (historical pic book), etc., can, off the back of Prince, why are others excluded? Let's be fair.

they have done shows and tributes between 2012-2015 but according to BrownMark & Dr Fink it was about to happen


Ok....duly noted; however, wasn't Mayte ALSO working on a book in 2015? I simply think it is unfair to target one former associate while others get a pass.

biggrin Well, here's the thing. I didn't say any of them had any right to get an income off Prince's coat-tails after his death. But a band has musical talent and a photographer has photography skills. So I am being perfectly fair about it. Did that answer your question? And for the record, most people generate an income off their own abilities and talents. She's supposed to have a talent, yes? So work it then.


She does. And she is. Some choose to ignore it.
