You should prolly add a ? to the title of your Thread. Good way to get your thread deleted. No one know if it official or not.

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

This person is not real Prince. real Prince wouldn't list prince.org as his own site.

Too many people pretend to be Prince. Many Princes also on facebook. There is one who never talks or posts, he is always mute, and only adds people. He is also fake. They all fake, except Prince_live on twitter.

wave Hello! Listen to Purplemookie and everyone else! Don't be naive! Prince doesn't do facebook, twitter, or any other social internet sites... He lets news leak via Dr. Funkenstein site or via print news sources or local radio stations... His current philosophy is that "the internet is dead." So, don't buy into the BS...

OK. I think I've discovered something that proves that the account is FAKE.

On 18th December, Prince_Live tweeted a photo showing (supposedly) an empty MSG:

Where U All At? http://yfrog.com/gz0k0kj
5:40 PM Dec 18th via Yfrog


This was followed on 19th December with the following tweet:

Now we take our places http://yfrog.com/h00uodj
12:41 AM Dec 19th via Yfrog


If you follow that link to Yfrog, you'll see a photo of a backstage area. We are clearly meant to believe it is the backstage area of MSG for Prince and/or his crew. I downloaded the photo and used TinEye (http://www.tineye.com) to do a reverse image search.

It turns out that the photo of that backstage area was FIRST posted on a blog dedicated to photography (specifically the Leica camera). The shot was taken by Andreas Läsker, manager of a band called Fantastischen Vier. It was taken during one of the band's concerts in Mannheim.

The blog entry is here: http://blog.leica-camera.com/fanta-vier ... -mannheim/

It's the second photo in that blog post, which was made on 12th November 2010.

So: why would an official Prince or LiveNation tweet use an image from somewhere/sometime else and imply it was taken at MSG or during a Prince concert? I think we know: FAKE!

No, it's not.

Can this be posted at the top of the forums before someone creates a http://www.twitter.com/no..._am_prince account?

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
