I live in Honolulu and was visiting some friend in Maui over the weekend and saw Prince at this retaurant/bar called Bada Bing on Saturday nite! He was with Larry Graham and his wife and Manni was there 2. There was a reggae band playing and Prince got up and jammed on guitar for a couple of minutes. He stayed for a few minutes then the whole group left. But Prince came back alone with his security. He was in a blue truck and was wearing some funky looking shirt. He was really social and personable with everyone. For those of you who think that Prince is dating Manni, think again! Me and my girlfriend ran into her in the elevator of her hotel (Maui Prince - go figure!) on SUnday morning and mentioned how cool it was to see prince at the club the night before. She smiled and said that it looked like everyone was having lots of fun. Then I said that at first everyone in the club was saying that she was his wife/girlfriend, but then everyone realized that he is jsut a playa! He likes to flirt, so I think thats why people think they are an "item". Coz when he came back and was getting cozy with some other girl(s)everyone was talking about how quickly he moves from one girl 2 the next. She just said "I don't speak on anyone who isn't present". WHich I understand. I am sure they have to sign contracts so they can't talk about him to others. She was real nice. Everyone in the club was saying how pretty she was and how nice and friendly she was to everyone around. I heard the waiter saying that she was so polite (they seemed suprised by that). There were even some girls in there talking about how they felt sorry for her, coz of how embarrasing it is to be hangin' with someone and then they dump u 2 hang out with some island honies. I wonder what Larry and the JWs think about THAT side of Prince?! IMHO thats that more evidence that hes not a JW, 2 much of the old Prince in there still. Anyway, Manni smiled and wished us a good day as we walked out of the elevator... she walked out the front door and we saw her get into the same blue truck as teh night before. She got in the back seat, and someone was in the front. we couldnt really see coz of the glare on the window. Could it have been Prince?! (oh, someone in the club said that they were there a week ago also, so i guess we know why its been quite on the NPG front).
