^ Wo...this is a serious allegation....P and Tevin Campbell?!?!?!

I doubt he'll get an invite back to P's inner sanctum after this! (pardon the pun!!)....that's quite a serious thing to say...

That story was very good. But he could have left that lame Tevin story lie that has been around for years out. It was very unprofessional of him to say that when ur working with someone as high profile as Prince..

Anywho that crop top he is talking about I seen Prince wear that b4. Didn't know it was blinged out like that though in real diamonds.......Wow! Prince u a baller for real. Prince has interesting taste in jewelery. Would love 2 c his collection. His house parties was legendary.I wish he would start doing them again.Prince was in his element when he was at home & so relaxed & carefree.To c him like that is a dream..

What I find crazy, is that these are about the toughest people in the game. What I mean is; you wouldn't expect these guys saying what they have said. LOL

"If you look into Prince's eyes too long, he will glamor you" Hahahaha

Some crazy Stuff..

What is funny, is that I have heard various people give the same verdict..I don't know what it is like being around Prince in person, but from what these cats are saying...He must have some crazy energy about him. Haahah

It's funny and interesting to note, how Ben never gets star stuck, but with Prince..he was almost silent. It's crazy...

It makes you wonder about Prince and who he really is..lol

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

I wasn't sure if I heard right, so I listened to this part again -
Prince was wearing a tank encrusted with Laurence Graff diamonds worth $13 million low-end (pawn shop value) to $19 million???
Dang, Prince, just DANG!
I am a female fan who always just enjoyed the music and performance persona, and I'm not materialistic, but that info right there - plus the info about him jammin' on the guitar and doing whatever he wants with whomever he wants - I gotta say it gets me kinda wet.
Damn!

I always thought Tevin was more to do with Quincey Jones than Prince.

Would love to see the diamond vest!

Interesting.....

Prince was a Freak who surrounded himself with like minded peeps for a time so anything is possible whether he was involved 'personally' is anyones guess. shrug

Im sure i've seen the vest Ben talked about. typing

One minute they want peace……

Then do everything to make it go away. rolleyes

Ben is legit but he could NOT be further off base with the Tevin/Prince comments.

It's funny how some of you are more fascinated by the million dollar jewellery than the serious allegations that are being made....

Are these things acceptable as long as he's wearing nice jewellery!??! LOL

As Tevin was only about 12 at the time I doubt this was anything more than friendship formed due to working together, perhaps an unconventional friendship but that doesn't automatically mean anything untoward was happening.

how do you know it wasn't true?, it's one hell of an accusation / comment to make knowing how litigious Prince is so he must be confident in his observations. It was around '94/95 I guess when P was in a bad place, thin , gaunt and embattled with WB - who knows how freaky he got! Just look at the Brit awards and subsequent interview with the NME around that time!.

First, if Ben knows how litigious Prince is, it is pretty stupid of him to make such an allegation especially with Tevin being a minor at the time. Secondly, unless Ben had a first person account and saw something take place with his own eyes, his insinuations are pretty shitty. Thirdly, if Prince is (or was) a client - it's blatantly unprofessional of Ben to put that kind of suggestion out there. Sorry, but Ben is all kinds of wrong here no matter how you slice it.

I am with you on this 100% this is NOT something to be joking about, or making lame comments about it.. I wouldnt' doubt that Tevin looked UP to Prince as maybe a father figure and they had a father/Son type bond.. but come on... thinking this is just so stupid!

Honestly, if they said Prince had sex with oh. ... .say Tony M. I would not even bat an eye.. buts its pretty hard to believe that Prince was doing an under aged boy..

AND when they asked him "how he knew" he was just like.. "Oh well, I came out and he was all funky and blah blah blah blah." he is not even saying nothing.
Did anyone else want those DJ's to SHUT UP and let the guy talk????

I watched aprox 10 mins of that. I don't know who he is (& don't really care tbh) i think that he's a bit of a prat & i aint taking seriously anything said prat said.
"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15
