I'm doubtful we've seen this diamond tank top unless it was something he wore for a photoshoot. Ben said that this was at a party about four years ago (2008). I can't imagine that Prince would wear something that valuable in public. The only place I can see him wearing a $19 million tank is where he was--in his home. But if someone has a pic, post it please. That gold tank isn't it.

I'm not going to even comment on that Tevin Campbell foolishness. But I will clarify something for everyone. He did not say that Prince had sex with Tevin, nor did he say he saw them together. He was talking smack and said that he saw Tevin post-Prince at Warner Bros. and he was a different person (perhaps out of the closet) than he was when he first met Tevin pre-Prince. He's making an assinine (yes I meant the misspelling) remark--as if Prince with his flawless skin and doe eyes can hypnotize someone into being gay.

Wasn't Tevin Campbell done for cruising??

This guy is EXTRA lame!

I, for one, do not believe that that necklace belonged personally to Prince. he is so tight with his money, he would never pay for that. Come on, he has a problem paying for his guitars, paying his bills. etc etc. I remember a story once of him writing a check to a club owner for a few hundred dollars and the club owner not cashing it, deciding the autograph was worth more, and Prince months later chasing him around with some irs forms.

necklace was on loan.

Tevin Campbell got 18 in November 1994. At this time he'd been out of Prince's camp for quite a while (last appearance together, I believe, is the Beautiful Experience party in February that year).

Admitting that Prince may have been bisexual at some point (which has always been contradicted by every reliable source, and never supported by any fact), he certainly wouldn't have dated a minor. We know of at least 2 occurences where he had a deep interest for underage girls and scrupulously waited until the day of their 18th birthday to have sex with them (Anna Garcia and Mayte Garcia... must be a thing with underage girls named Garcia I guess...). Why? Because he's not enough of a fool not to know that a prosecution for having sex with an underage could have cost him his career, some jail time and a lot of money. So doing it with an underage BOY, in the oh-so-conservative friggin' US of A? Gimme a break

its these kinds of people that i hate teven was like 15 or 16 when he worked with prince and claiming prince turned him out if i was prince i would turn his ass out and sue the fuck out of him people and their lies makes me sick

These comments about Prince/Tevin are so over the top and irresponsible that the best thing Prince can do is ignore this nonsense.

Nothing more pathetic than listening to someone effect a street accent esp. in combination with his BS macho posturing. He comes off as a total poseur and wannabe. The whole story is assinine from a 19 million dollar "wife beater" to P molesting an underage boy?!

I hope this loser gets his ass sued or does some jail time. Then he can get some street cred in the prison shower and live the thug image he is pathetically attempting to portray. But, what can you really expect from a 'jeweler' who specializes in profiting from diamonds (the most overvalued rock in the world mined from slave labor in Africa).

I must admit, I really find it funny that there are those of you who will defend Prince as if you've known him your whole lives or something . I have no idea what Prince is truly into sexually, so whether he did or not, I can't say. Ben Baller could have just been taking a jab @ him, but who knows? I just thought he told a nice story. & why couldn't Prince have had on a 19 million dollar vest? You all have heard what Kevin Smith said about him [I'm sure ], & I am for certain that Prince has the $ to spend it like that if he wants.

Because child molestation is a very, very serious thing in this society, not a whole lot lower in this societies' collective mind than child molestation. And seeing this prick who name drops, hangs around celebs like a fucking vulture accuse Prince of this with no evidence of his own other than some vague, wierd description of, what was it, them being funky or something? Get the fuck out of here.

I think child molestation is very serious. But was Tevin even underage @ the point he was talking about? I doubt it.

just watching this guy fucking irritates me with his little crooked baseball cap and name dropping, he just doesn't say "integrity,honesty and character" to me so his little story comes across as just trying to get attention. Maybe you'd like it if he said to other people that he saw you with prince and you were, what was it, funky? strange way for him to gather facts going around sniffing motherfuckers. Hollywood got so many stupid rumours who knows whats what. supposedly quincy turned tevin out when he was 12. it's a sick town.

Isn't this what I just said!? "Who knows" was exactly what I said . I don't know what's true or false, but I laugh @ the fact that people are so willing to defend, when they have no clue what Prince [or any other celeb] does in his every day private life. You can dislike the guy [ben baller] all you like, he's the bad guy for talking shit about Prince . I would assume that if he makes & sells custom jewelry to celebs, he's really not much of a vulture either. He gets paid by them.

he's a celeb wannabe seems to me, i'd never even heard of the guy before this. Anyway, regarding Prince, from everything I've ever known and studied about him he has always, always had a very, very strong conservative streak, in spite of his crazy image. It just doesn't fit. These days his conservatism is much more obvious but it was always there.

When it comes to your feelings about Ben Baller, fair enough . Imo, studying someone from afar doesn't mean you know what they'll do. I'm not trying to go against you on purpose or anything like that, because we all have our opinions. I'm just not really into defending any of these celebrities. I am a fan of Prince's music, but since I've never spent any time with the guy, I can't say what he would or wouldn't do. One can only assume, & that's about it.

you're wrong, I'm not even defending prince as such. this isn't a case of prince ripping off a musician are being a bastard to some of his workers. Those things are all true and he has a long pattern of those things if someone said that no one would be surprised. This shit though is ugly, dangerous, irresponsible. Michaels career and life was ruined by such speculation, it's not a good thing to mention about someone unless you saw him buttnaked with them in the act. nothing good can come out of it for P.

But when you think about the time period he's referring to, Tevin had to be over 18.

absolutely, those kind are grasping onto as many coattails as they can. And they seem to never just shut the fuck up, shallow shit.
