Is Londell out of the picture?

A family member recently informed me that she is friends with Prince's lawyer. Naturally, I was like "Londell" and she said no. It's a guy whose name I'm blanking on right now. I looked it up and it's true. And I've heard other allude to the fact that Londell's gone.

I know that they were friends and that at some point he was playing a producer/manager type role.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Maybe it's just that Prince retains multiple lawyers?
Come here, babe.. yeah...

Although Prince has done stranger things, after the ridiculous success of the Musicology tour, which Londell helped put together (and when he did lectures at Harvard used it as a business example I recall reading) I can't imagine Prince getting rid of Londell at all. UNLESS, perhaps Londell was trying to push Prince down to capitalise on it all in a way Prince didn't like so he got rid of him. I just find it bizarre, Londell was with Prince a while (he's reference on Y Should Eye Do That... 'why should I do that...Londell? When I can do this? Which is what makes me think at points Londell wanted Prince to play hits etc) and I can't see why Prince would get rid of him.

On the other hand, noones seen Londell for a while, but then why would he be partying with Prince at nightclubs!

Don't know...only one way to find out.

Upload some bootleggage and post the link in the forums. If your web host gets a cease and desist order before you can count to 20. Londell's still on the job! lol

We saw Londell in New York walking around before Prince performed for Good Morning America.

For years Prince has considered Londell not only his lawyer but his partner and friend. Of course, he was practicing law. You need different lawyers in different states. But, Londell is more than a lawyer--he is a very successful businessman with his own major law firm, real estate projects, producer, and co-owner of the New Jersey Nets with Jay-Z. He is still Prince's confidant and dear friend but I am sure Prince does his own thing and Londell probably has his plate full. Some say the birth of his daughter keeps him home more. I know Prince and Londell are too close and have made too much history to ever be apart.

Londell probably made some sensible and logical business decisions... This is considered intolerable behaviour at Paisley Park so obviously Londell had to go...

No, Londell and Prince no longer work together. I know this first hand since February 2006, but the split happened beforehand. I was at GMA on Friday and in the mix, but I did not see Londell there (perhaps I missed him). I do know that they are no longer in business together.

Someone above said, Londell wouldn't show up to shows or events. Untrue! When they worked together, Londell was always there till the break of dawn and would continue the party ... leaving together in a limo to their next secret party / hangout location.

Are you Ms Cleo? This is such hearsay to say how they are as friends.
