Ever since I came to minnesota I have seen Fancy Ray everywhere. He is all over commercials promoting small businesses around town, Video Outlets, Liquor Stores, Beauty Salons, etc.
He used to have his own show on Cable Access also. The fubnniest thing he had done was the commercial for "Nicllet Village Video" where he per4med as Prince. He was dressed up in purple, curly black wig. Shakin his ass and doing that dance P did on "I Would Die 4 U". The background music had this fake 80's linn drum beat and he was singin in falcetto "all generes and lifestyles...". I have that commercial on tape somewhere....  FUNKYAww bless him - I like him already! Thanks for that. | |

Not that this should surprise anyone, but as far as I know, Prince was not recently spotted at the Ave.
CarrieMpls could provide more details as I was outta town, but 2 weeks ago she got a call from a friend who down at the Ave and he was all "Prince is here you have to come down right now!!!!" She got this message late but decided to pull herself together and try to go down and see if sumptin was up. Well, eventually she got her friend to answer his phone and he was all "woops, it's just someone that looks A LOT like him, false alarm, it's def'ly not prince." ps- we need to get Vi on this thread, I think she has some good fancy ray stories  | |

My associate brother only 19 and when he saw him he thought it was Fancy Ray from the local commercials in Minneapolis. He met and hugged and glad to meet him. I believe him cause he is a Korn fan. Just think i was there on a friday too.
ps, I hate to say it but if that was tryina say that your associate brother (?) hugged Prince, then we have confirmation that it was NOT Prince. DEFINATELY not Prince. | |

I was about to post that as well. I'm quite sure that has NEVER happened in the history of Prince. Ever.

Hmmm really? Is he sure it was Prince? I hope it is but you can easily be fooled. I can't really see Prince going to First ave nowadays. He's older and that club seems more for the younger crowd. Speeking of Fancy Ray...I saw him a couple of times...once at Baja Grill in Uptown...and a couple of times I saw him come in with a woman to my club...I said something to him like "Oh hey it's you. Your like a celebrity>" He smiled at me and was like "No YOUR the celebrity baby!" He seemed friendly. 
He does a good Prince impression btw. | |
