Sort of like, "White folk may not understand this, but us black people are often taking care of more than just ourselves." It fit with his whole spiel about how white people need to heard this kind of thing.

DesireeNevermind said: joanne55555 said: Ok, care to share?? I was just wondering since he mentioned his sister in the interview, was he referring to her and does he have any nieces or nephews do you know Desiree?  He has 4 nephews and nieces that I can recall. There might be more I'm sure given that he has 7 siblings in all from his parents prior and remarriages. Only thing is its not clear how close he is too all of them save for Tyka and Omar so who all he's taking care of and how much they get I couldn't tell ya but he is generous with family. He's not like MC Hammer of course but he generous nonetheless.  Thanx Desiree, who's Omar? Tyka's husband? | |

DesireeNevermind said: joanne55555 said: Thanx Desiree, who's Omar? Tyka's husband? Prince's younger bro I didn't realize he had any younger siblings, is Omar his Mum and Hayward's son then? I didn't think he was close to any of his family - wasn't there something in the papers a lot of years back about Tyka saying he wouldn't help her and her sons when she was on drugs, or something like that anyway ?? You said he had 4 nieces and nephews and if Tyka has 2 sons I would assume Omar has 2 daughters then, any idea about names/ages ?? Sorry for all the questions Desiree, its just you seem to know what u're talking about and I find all this info really interesting!!  | |

There's a big drug problem in the poor parts of Minni. But like that with every city I suppose. I can't remember if Prince's neices are on his sister Lorna's side or if at least one of them is Omar's. Sorry. | |

I'm so very proud of Prince talking about his epilepsy. I had no idea. I read on here somewhere that he referred to having epilepsy in one of his songs??? Does anyone know which song it is??? I have suffered from seizures as well in my lifetime...There are so many types of seizures...I empathize with anyone who has had to cope with them.
I apologize for not reading all of the previous posts. So if this has already been discussed please let me know where it is. Thanks  Help others get ahead. You will always stand
taller with someone else on your shoulders. --Bob Moawad | |

Tavis, Should have asked him, "Have you ever took the time to research these people you are following"!!!!! [Edited 5/19/09 9:45am] |

I would love to see the full/unedited version of the Tavis interview, a couple of times during the interview, it was so obvious he went on to say something more! I was just wondering if anyone was lucky enough to be there in the audience, was there even an audience? U can def hear people laughing when he talks about the wrong lyrics!! Maybe just the crew? Anyone.....??? | |
