Just because you're not up on certain Prince info don't make it seem like nobody knew.

It was well known in Prince's camp not to mess with Susan Moonsie because she was Prince's girl. And this was long before Vanity entered the picture. Vanity got pushed to the front because she wanted to be in showbusiness. Susan was only in the group because she was Prince's girl.

There was press about him and Nona dating during that time back in '93 or '94 or however long ago it was. Some of it is even floating around on this very site in the Gallery section under articles. At least two of them, and neither of them are the Essence article Nona did about 3 years ago.

If want to be truthful about it he didn't flaunt his relationship with Susannah Melvoin in the press either.

Like the other poster said Prince was the one who gave her that nickname so therefore only Prince knows the answer.

dewalliz said:

Maybe the "white" part of the nickname stemmed from a reason as completely simplistic and innocuous as how bleached to almost white her hair used to be?

This is the single funniest quote of this site to date. Of all the proteges Prince has ever worked w/ there has not ever been this many people up in arms and judgmental about it. What is the one thing thats different about this artist? Her complexion and her features. A whole lot of it is Prince's fault cuz we've know for years his preferences and his ridiculing Black women ie. Christopher Tracy's flashback, his complexion tripping w/ Tricky and his singing "surrounding yourself w/ all the wrong faces" in the Holy River video while showing a afro featured woman. All examples of his own issues but in recent years contrary winds have blown. He realised that he owned none of his music, and additionally was contractually bound to continue to work for snakes who took advantage of him as a kid. He wrote Slave on his face and changed his very name to free himself from the subtle nuanced racism that had controled him w/out his knowledge. He found religion w/ a mentor, a Black man, who pioneered his favorite music, didnt want anything from him, and related to his situation. His web site highlighted an African featured Katrina victim for months. His appearances, band, musical focus, and public interviews have all been far blacker than the elusive, svengali of the 80s. In other words; Prince grew up. Dont look now but hes highlighting an unknown African featured, dark skinned black woman w/ no sexual overones or agenda. People are pissed. Real talk. At last the clouds have parted to show the true sky. deal w/ it. The title of this thread is racsist, mysogenistic, ignorant bullshit. But if I break down what it really is, I'll be banned. On the same day we're burying Coretta Scott King I suggest yall get ready to accept identifyable, unapologetically Black people cuz we are coming stronger than ever.

I don't care what chu say. If Susan was Prince's girl why didn't we see her on the front cover of a Rolling Stone magazine or better yet why didn't he have her on his arm at the Grammys long before Vanity came alone. I don't buy the shit. How is Prince gonna be my man and this other more beautiful and BIRACIAL I might add gone start being my man's new woman and I still in the group why she leads. I'm sure Susan's voice couldn't been no worse than Vanity's. BULLSHIT! and about Nona I only seen that one picture of the two of them sitting in an audience like they're at some fashion show and that's it. Even in the LoveSign video, the part where they was supposed to had slept together, how come he couldn't be freaky with her like he was with Diamond and Pearl in the Gett Off video or even the girl in the Kiss video. Hint: Nona'snot "typical"

She said he was her boyfriend in Essence, but there's a diffence between a boyfriend and a fuck friend!. I repeat, she said it herself he announced he was engaged to whom and who had on the wedding ring. Mayte.

As far as Susannah goes, Susannah is definitely "typical" Prince. I heard about them back them supposely engaged. No he didn't flaunt it, but the one picture I saw of them, I'll believe Susannah because Prince's preference has always been LIGHT or WHITE. You can believe the BS I choose not to.

Are you IMPLYING he is SLEEPING with TAMAR or the TWINS? WHAT IF HE IS? What IF he SLEEPS with MANI TOO? I mean they are all BEUTIFUL. Tamar is a GREAT SINGER and I dig her ACT. The TWINS DANCE BETTER than SING IMO but GORGEOUS GIRLS. To say PRINCE sleeps with EVERY ACT he WORKS with is FOOLISH! Maybe , stuff happens cause when ya work together it can. But saying he DOES ON PURPOSE is FOOLISH! TO Say anything about SHADE is HORRIBLE like PRINCE NOT DIGGING BLACK GIRLS or MEN.. TYPE and FRIENDS and Ya make like ALL He thinks about is Base. Ya make like the Man has NO SUBSTANCE at ALL. I think he is WAYYY 2 PROFESSIONAL to act so DUMB. I mean of course when ya work together could be SEXUAL ACTIVITY but FIRST OFF is WORK....It's MAKING MONEY.... PRINCE is CAPITIALIZING ON THE GIRL GROUP THING which he TRIED YEARS AGO and Failed. Maybe he is going to TRY AGAIN all the VENTURES that ONCE FAILED. I do feel any WOMAN INVOLVED With Prince would B a FOOL to THINK he Isn't or Couldn't Sleep with any or all. ACCEPT the Fact. But He also CANNOT tell his WOMAN WHAT to do IF he is Gonna Play. I mean if ya have an OPEN RELATIONSHIP then Ya gotta EXPECT THE WOMAN TO PLAY ALSO. If he CHEATED on MAYTE with MANI he is a FOOL. WHY get MARRIEd then? DOn't get MARRIED OR Have an OPEN RELATIONSHIP. I mean be TRUTHFUL... B Upfront. Don't LIE. Tell your Woman what is What! If ya Get High well ya Want Ya woman High? Ya want ya Woman Dirty? Just Tell it STRAIGHT! Ya GAY? Ya BI! Just Tell IT@! Stop Playing Games. B the FREAK Ya ARE! I mean how ya gonna Enjoy ya life if ya LIE? Justput ya Chips on the table. Ya get the FRIENDS who TRULY ACCEPT and LOVE! B YOURSELF ALWAYS!

The earliest known Prince involvement with Tamar (her full name is Ashley Tamar Davis) was in 1992 when she was a member of the Houston girl group Girls Tyme along with future Destiny's Child members Beyonce, Kelly and LaTavia when, according to the below linked article from the Houston Chronicle, Prince had interest in signing them to Paisley Park. He then recorded the unreleased song "On Your Own" with her in 1994. Then she started showing up with Prince at last year's NAACP Image Awards and various 3121 parties and that brings us to this point.

She was on Star Search as well:

Also she was a member of Angaza, an all-female band that also included Cora Coleman-Dunham, the drummer currently playing with Tamar and Prince (Cora's husband, Josh Dunham is the bassist playing with them as well).

You lost me where did the sun come out at on SNL. Just because a man hugs a woman doesn't mean they are screwing. Plus Prince is still officially married until he and Mani official say they are divorced which means he is NOT on the market. I already know he could be unfaithful just like any other man, but I don't believe it would be with Tamar, Celestina or any black woman. It would be with his "typical" lady and I don't know what you mean about Ananda. What chu mean about he played her for the longest?

I don't care what you say, he has a preference with his women and he also has that right whether we like it or not.

I think Prince mostly likes women who kinda look like Vanity. That seems to be the type he goes wild for.

But that doesn't mean white, dark skinned, asian, whatever women don't intrigue him. He likes all types of women.

Krystal666 said:

Yes he does including darker-skinned woman.

TurnItUp said:

Whatever, your at the point of ifa'/woulda'/coulda'/shoulda. The point of the matter is he was with Susan Moonsie long before Vanity came into the picture. Period. Susan Moonsie was a confidant and Vanity was the chick on the side. Vanity didn't like it and would throw fits when he would want to be with Susan while they were on tour. Susan did not have the wild personality to front a group like Vanity 6, Denise Matthews did. He was at the Grammys alone because it was more of a publicity thing for him to attend as he was still new to the business and needed to be seen mixing with industry people. He has always dated more than one girl at a time, going all the way back to before he was even a star. Period. He did not flaunt his relationship with Susnnah Melvoin. He did data Nona. Period.

And it's always been my opinion that he married Mayte in '96 because she was pregnant. Goodness knows he didn't stop seeing other women while he was with her. That fairytale about her getting pregnant on their wedding night was just way to convenient and then she coincidentially gives birth two month pre-mature. Please.

WRONG. He likes the same type of women. The part about women lookin' like Vanity is the only thing you got right. The rest, PSYCHE!

TurnItUp said:

If you mean the same type of woman being sexy, classy, intresting then yes I agree with you. You would never see him with some ghetto black chick but Tamar? Yes I could see him being interested in her romanticaly because of who she is. But I don't think anything romantic is going on with them. But I didn't think anything romantic was going on with Mia in the Te Amo Corazon video either so whatever.

Excuse me. What do you mean by 'some ghetto black girl?'

PurpleCharm said:

Like a girl in a Ying Yang twins video that swears alot. I dont' think Prince has dated too many trashy women.

Krystal666 said:

You didn't type trashy. You typed ghetto.

PurpleCharm said:

Well to me acting ghhetto is trashy.

Krystal666 said:

He shows up w/ a dark skinned act and the fans are beside themselves. Its very telling.
