Who is CJ?

No, I have not been living under a rock, you bastards. tease


It's just that I keep hearing about this person and her ongoing animosity towards our hero. And I'd like to know who she is and why in the world she would hate someone like Prince. But yeah, I know, how can I call myself a hardcore Prince fan if I don't know about that situation. hrmph

Because I don't, so stfu

Believe it or not, there are some Prince fans here that are totally oblivous as to who this beeeeyach is and why she hates Prince.

As far as I know, she's some Minneapolis reporter who, for some reason, just ain't showing the purple one no love. shrug Sure, there might've been some things that he's done in his career or personal life that have not been perfect or pleasant, but the man is only human. I mean, in life you'll get criticized for anything you do or say.

So, who is this notorious CJ? hmm

Well, that was what inspired Prince to write that song. But why?

because she sometimes makes fun of his eccentriciities. I believe she is actually quite a fan of Prince.

Then go to the startribune website, register and you can check out C.J.'s column live and in the flesh.

In the song it was "See 'J';" as in the response to the question of "joy" is to look it up in the dictionary under the letter "J."

Of course, it's open to interpretation. wink

She's a gossip columnist who refers to him as Symbolina, or some goofy name like that. Not too much more to it than that.

C.J. (Cheryl Johnson) is a gossip columnist who writes for the Minneapolis Star Tribute,if im not mistaken.For many years,she has printed many,many nasty stories,hurtful rumors and vicious gossip about Prince.Some examples...


***When he changed his name in 1993,she immediately started referring to him as "Symbolina" (a name that she still uses to this day!)

***She once accused Prince of "lying on Oprah",in regards to his baby's death.She has made other tasteless comments about this sensitive,tragic situation.


Things got so bad that,in the early 90s,Prince wrote a song about her called "Billy Jack Bitch".If you read the lyrics,you will see exactly how Prince feels about her.


I honestly don't know who's worse...CJ or that New York gossip-spreading bitch Wendy Williams.Both of these ladies can be quite brutal when discussing celebrities (although I don't think Wendy has a grudge against Prince).One good thing about CJ is that she at least inspired Prince to compose one of his funkiest jams ever,lol.

Wendy williams probably holds a grudge because she's so ugly even Prince didn't want to hit that....
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

THANK YOU! I too have wondered who this creature was. I even asked here...no one responded...well I got similar to the ones above. I knew she was a journalist but didn't know what she wrote.

Does she have ANY other connection to him that would explain why she dislikes him (ex-fam member dissed?...there are a few)

Anyway THANKSSSSS!

Thanks for the info, guys. thumbs up! Yeah, she sounds like a "billy jack bitch". mad

Now, as far as Wendy Williams, there's no beef between her and Prince. As a matter of fact, I met Wendy at the Prince afterparty. She was showing mad love to our hero.

Yeah well the good thang about Wendy(i don't like her either) is that when Prince is in town she does announce it on the radio--(i.e. ONA at Lincoln Center)no one else did that on their show.
