The mortgate on it would be cheaper than that!!!

All this shit is goofy. Couldn't he have had all the altered shit fixed/restored? Not saying he WOULD have but damn, if you're just renting you can't be doing just ANYTHING - I know he's Princey & all but come on

& as far as him renting I don't find it surprising at all - maybe he wanted to be out here for a certain pocket of time & just didn't find anything he was over the moon about. W/ $ like that you don't have to buy, you don't have to think about what's better financially - anyone who's dropping $70k a month AINT TRIPPIN

I think the strangest part of the story is that he's getting sued by a player for the UTAH JAZZ

is this story true? I really dont believe this story at all

If the info comes from the smoking gun website, it should be taken as relyable.

Only thing that it means is someone filed a lawsuit against prince.

It however seems a little strange that this would happen the day before and day of the album release.

Who is to say what how much truthyness this story contains?

Exactly! In the state of California what he buys while married is considered equal property amongst husband and wife. Thats ALOT of money he would lose to his wife if and when there was a divorce. Maybe a few million to much for him to hand over.

Read the stuff on the site, the filing was in January not yesterday.

This site specializes in digging up stuff like this, and posting the original legal documents to back up their statements. They were the ones to expose James Frey's "memoir" as more fiction than fact:

Thanks for the link! It didn't get my address quite right, though. I had to adjust the pic. Are we sure that's actually Prince's 'rented' house?

We all know the bilble experts at the org will figure it out. (LOL)

prodigalfan said:

Wow,that's a trip! I found my own house,lol.

Perhaps Ben should bring back the old "Prince.org Lawsuit Center" to help Prince out

Not nice being sued is it Princey boy ?!

As far as I know, Prince has always rented property while "living" in L.A., but why would someone, ANYONE spend damn near a million dollars a year to rent?
That's nuts.....

I'm willing to bet that Prince is not paying the rent for this L.A. house; Universal Studios is probably paying the tab. Can't artists negotiate things like this? Seems Prince is pretty savy about how to get others to pay for stuff on his behalf. Just a thought.

I wonder how much hair was stuck in the drains?

Graycap23 said:

did you ever see the BBC documentary Prince's Millions?
They spoke to a lot of his old employees who all more or less said "when he has it, he spends it".

This is why Prince will keep on churning out an album a year, its to pay for the lifestyle we have given him.

Graycap23 said:

Well, thats alot less money he paid for the publicity he HAS gotten Vs. what he would have normally paid (FOR LESS publicity) if it wasn't for 3121 and the exposure for the "3121" and parties in LA. It's gotten him ALOT of publicity.

Shyra said:

You are right! Might be a part of HIS contract.

muirdo said:

I dig that but being of sound mind and body, it's still nuts to pay that for rent.

Graycap23 said:

Not when you have as much money as he does

$ 70,000 a month?



wow, i bet the NPGMC doesn't rake in that much money in a year!

i bet that despite his bitchin' on WB his royaltie checks must b huge

Is that the house in the liner notes? Is the big heart in the wall the hole he's being sued over?

And what's it like to be sued by a man who once looked a blind man in the eye and lied to him?

MickG said:

This is why I left L.A. look at all those houses and how close they are. Good riddance.

Zillow suggests that the house is valued at $8.5M. Surely, Prince should invest wisely and just buy Boozer's house.

Maybe Carlos Boozer should try stepping back on the basketball court, he's just a fucking drama queen. I say this, as a fan of the NBA.

That's my point.

Shyra said:

You may have a point here!

If you happen to read this Prince, just let me say that I have your back, no matter what you say, do, or think. You are my mentor, always have been, always will be, and I know your intentions are good no matter what they say.

May God and The Christ always be with you,
Your friend,

exactly..I can't believe it...


I thought he had bought the house too.

This is like a bad episode of TLC's While You Were Out, LOL

purplecam said:

Same here, with Prince's money, it seems like he would be more apt to buy a place, rather than renting it. But to each their own, Prince undoubtedly has his reasons.
