I don't think that's necessary, seeing that it was 12 years ago. Nona looks like she's moved pretty well - had a child (and no, it's not Prince's kid!), started a career and is just chillin'. She's in two movies this year "The Polar Express", which is going to be huge, and "Crash", which just debuted at the Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews. And she's filming the sequel to XXX with Samuel L. Jackson and Ice Cube. Not exactly at home crying about her "Lovesign" days.

And I don't see where Nona is trashing Prince at all. The few times I've ever read Nona speak of Prince, she's always made it clear that they were both on drugs and both in the wrong. How dare she say something bad about Prince. Let's call her stupid at 30 for what she did at 18 (or as young as 16, as the whispers go).

For a big star Nona seemed a bit nervous the night of the AMA Lifetime presentation. You'd think she'd be more thick skinned from what I saw of her at the end of the show.

Hope I get to see them work together again. It'll be good for him.

damn shame what happened to nona. some people hook with people at the wrong time, and if she truly cared about prince, then she was definitley with him at the wrong him, for him it was right because she was the perfect age of 18. If she were 28, naw he wouldn't even have looked at her. We all know that Prince is the perfect womanizer and i'm sure he can lure even the most terrible, stuck up, meanest bitch in his bedroom. I just hope that she doesn't hold anything against him for what he did to her, sure women get dogged all the time and hold grudges, but when we let go and forgive (after we realized that there are more fish in the sea in which a few are truly good men), then its possible to move on. Hope she has...

So what he likes fiinne ass women of all colours and creeds.

Hey, where was it said that Prince did drugs as well around this time?? Or did I skip or miss a line or something?

SnowQueen said:

From what I just read, that's EXACTLY what he did.

strange the things people say..
Lovesign is a pretty impressive cake

YODAHENDRIX said:

ppl really can kill a good joke....

Rhondab said:

exactly

SnowQueen said:

I agree..you have to remember that she was under 21 at the time..between 18 and 21 a majority of young women are naive especially a man 16 yrs older than she was, she saw him in her mind as mature...I am sure there were others even during the Mayte marriage, so blame should not be placed on her..he was the older one.

Vanity is now a Christian and is on kidney dialysis..

SynthiaRose said:[quote]I don't know what Nona's definition of "with him" for three years is. But she sounds like the kind of clingy girl who gets fucked and won't go away.
Hanging around a single guy who's screwing other women for threee years is not being " together."

She hardly seems like Prince's type and Prince rarely has the attention span to hang around conquests for three years. I'm sure the ring to Mayte didn't come out of the blue ... she must have been in denial about what was really going on.


By the way, look at how she just brings him up in the interview like he was the worst thing to happen to her. It's not even a smooth transition. It's like she was dying to mention it.

Even if they did have some past she perceived as negative, don't start trying to dog him publicly just because you were young, naive, stoned, and lost in hallucinations.


What a fool, she even let him clown her in video movie where he's searching for Mayte and she's at home watching it and crying all alone. Pathetic.


She hardly seems Prince's type? What exactly is his type...she is a female isn't she..I don't think it has anything to do with what fans perceive his type of female....as a matter of fact in his earliest days...he was crazy about Patrice Rushen and this is a fact.

Are these two things somehow related?

... Ouch, bad joke. Seriously speaking - poor Denise, I always thought she was a far more talented singer than most people would be willing to grant her.

Novabreaker said:

..yes unfortunately she is on kidney dialysis, but the good thing is that she is a christian and I believe she is married. Isn't it kinda strange how Vanity, Sheila E and Prince all turned to religion?

Rhondab said:

I thought Nona's mother was white....

renapisces3372 said:

No. Her mom is black.

An Affair and Maybe she loved him but he was too much a Player. Who Knows. I guess ya would be Hurt ALOT if SOMEONE Broke with ya like that. First-Off As NONA GAYE I wouldn't have SLEPT with PRINCE cause WHy give him That Pleasure of Fucking MARVIN's Daughter... If she hung around like a fool her Problem. Troy Beyer was Sushed away also. He Really Only did have Affairs with Women..I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man. Be Very Aware you will Never Get Prince FOREVER.. I Do NOt BELIEVE He CAN STAY WITH One WOMAN FOREVER. REMEMBER to ENJOY What Ya have when ya Do.... Or just make it a one nighter.

I'd heard that Nona's mother is biracial, but mmmdunno. Here's a couple of pics of the two of them:







Gotta love Nona's winning smile back in those days. She was apparently with Prince at this time, as this article goes with the pictures.
