I was once asked 2 run someone's social media accounts (All of 'em) I said show me the $. I wasn't. u get what U pay 4. Wasn't cool tho.

Why is Prince such a damn tightwad? The man has more money than he'll ever be able to spend, yet he hates paying people to do things that they should be paid for. Some people around here accused me of just being mean and hateful when I said his current CD covers and such look so amateurish - NEWSFLASH - the skinflint is really using amateurs.

That's why I agree with Goldenparachute...Prince brought this upon himself big time! Letting amateurs and girlfriends run his business on various levels and none of them are handled well...not a very smart idea.

One day girlfriends will be scorned X's which puts him in a vulnerable position. He should hire professionals and stop using the people he got now...as he's bound to be used by them sooner or later

.

Btw...letting 1 person run all your social media accounts is a very BAD idea as well. I don't think I have to explain why that's too much control...

Funny how you orgers catch something like this when it's happening. I wouldn't have caught it.

I hope this person comes on the org to spill some real goodies. I'd be more than happy to pay her!

Maybe she also has the password for the vault.

The person is probably already here. The stuff that was posted on fb were typical org comments.

This is the most intersting Prince related thing I've seen in quite a while. This is awesonme.

Regardless how Prince runs his operation. I have zero respect for the idiot that did this. This is some crazy stalker shit and he should take this serious and get the law involved. This is not a joke or funny. This is not a joke or funny. For others to insinuate that because some do not get paid to run a social media page for Prince, this is what Prince gets! Insanity.

.

I agree...it is some crazy shit indeed and embarrassing too as it apparently comes from somebody very close to Prince.

On the other hand...having personal relationships with assistants and/or others who run your business isn't a smart thing to do.

That's why I say hire professionals to do the work, not a girlfriend or a fan or anybody else with personal reasons "to be close to Prince"...

Looks like he trusted people, perhaps making promises, who can't be trusted and it sadly isn't the first time this happened

Weird that FunkenFilthy, who is Prince's official spokesman (right?) didn't DENY it was Prince. He didn't say, "Just got off the phone with a purple friend who is feeling kind of blue. It was NOT Prince who posted to FB, blah, blah, blah".

He just said Prince wouldn't pay his azz for services either!! Then implied that some pissed off GF, MIGHT have hacked the account. That may just be the best guess scenario his PP contact had. Then FunkenMessy, ran for LEGAL COVER, with the 'Everything I said is just personal opinion' statement.

That's not a denial, folks, just his personal opinion.

BTW, NPG, 3EG and PP... We asked for The Revolution, not a revolution. Leave Prince alone. He don't make your dumb azz work for him for crumbs. You chose to do it. This reminds me of Sweetie Pies when Mari installed the new time clock, Miss Robbie missed payroll and the kitchen staff got upset! What'd Robbie say? "Daaayum, am I going to have to get my gun???"

I think it could be Prince, but the pissed off GF, who knows Prince well enough to frame him theory works too. The only problem there, is that Prince has a history of passive aggressive controversial statements, that he later denies. Unless GF comes forward, we will never really know for sure.

At least he DID say something and it would be incredibly stupid of him to say what he said if it isn't based on truth. Backing it up as a personal opinion or not...the way he hinted to what's up was clear enough right?

Sure he has made it clear many times that he's struggling for $ and doesn't get paid for being the mouthpiece. If he's not happy about that situation either stop doing it or continue without complaining...

.

The people working for Prince gotta know by now what it's like and I'm convinced the majority have begged him to PLEASE work (it) for him. With or without omelettes...

.

Sure sounds like it's somebody eager to frame him which totaly sucks, it's no joke and certainly not funny at all. So yeah...I wish this mess gets setlled and cleaned up privately, now where's the new music?!

maybe it was the EX from "the X's Face"?

Quite the contrary, this shit is fucking HILARIOUS!!! For Prince to be such a sue-happy, bullying control freak, it goes without question that he is suppose to run his business aboveboard and professional...period!

There is no excuse for the trifiling ass shit that went on yesterday. Prince has the money and the means to hire the very best professional people that would handle all of this obviously trivial internet stuff for him properly but NOOOOOOOOOOO, he can't be bothered to do that because there are always going to be dumbass yes-men/women around eager to stroke his...ego for nothing but empty promises. And when it goes south, as it always does when the purple blinders get ripped off, there is no one to blame for this comical foolishness but Prince himself because he knows better yet refuses to do better. Why? Because he doesn't have to. He's Prince and he knows that his fans will buy whatever he's selling no matter how substandard and subpar it may be.

Do we reckon he does just sit at his computer all day by himself?

I think he spends a considerable amount of time, yes. I kind of just imagine him sat on his imac or some shit with a guitar in his hands jamming/trolling all day lmfao

I'm kind of stuck between believing it was either him or an ex that has done this though. On one hand it seems likely that it's an associate because he's known for being a difficult person at times, but on the other hand like what someone else said above, it harkens back to what he did on AOL chatrooms in the late '90s.

Double post, sorry. But yeah omg I agree this is the best shit since the lovesex thats my jam girl.

How difficult is it technically to hack a facebook account? Are we sure this was done by someone who knew the password?

It's stupid for FunkenJunkAllOverTheApt to say what he said regardless. He wasn't authorized to speak on it and he should have just kept quiet. His ego and hurt feelings got the best of him and he responded due to all the FAMS shooting him inquiries. It's not just the alleged hacker. Through his response, FunkenLazy spills tea on Prince too!! And finger-wagging criticisms of Prince, being a cheap-ass who got what he deserved though the hack! WOW!

Those comments about him having a messy apt, must have rang true, because he bit the hand that feeds him.

Meanwhile, the smart people, with direct connections to Prince haven't said anything.

Actually...I had not thought of it in this way but you're absolutely right!

.

As it's only because of HIS posts that we can somewhat assume that this was indeed something from within the Prince camp. Instead of a random hacker with some Prince knowledge, so yeah...in that way Funkenberry also "spilled tea" on Prince. Added with the fact he again felt it important enough to share that Prince doesn't pay him for his mouthpiece activities (and makes it known how he feels about it). That's just as questionable indeed...

[Edited 4/19/15 8:07am]

he did, at one point, though, didn't he? with the lotusflower website. he got people in to design
the website and run it.

the website was a piece of shit from the start, all substance, no content, but that's not really a
designer/operator's fault, that's on prince, for not providing any real content.

but at the time that site also went without updates or changes or anything for a long time, just
because he fell out with and didn't pay the people running it.

and just like always, always, always, in prince land, there were promises that weren't fulfilled.
he allowed the website designers to speak in interviews about having sorted "10 discs worth"
of unreleased songs, for future inclusion on the site. etc etc.

but, as always, none showed. probably because prince got bored and lost interest when not
enough people joined the site (which you couldn't even join if you wanted to, unless you got
on the org somehow and stumbled across the thread explaining how to get into the site far

enough to actually get to the sign up page which was locked behind a stupid riddle).

main point here is that no matter who he works with, he seems to think people deserve only

as much money as he thinks the service was worth, and only get paid whenever he feels like

it.

but who has been bitching about not wanting his music on itunes, or not finding a company to
distribute his new material because the advance is not big enough?

i've been married now for 9 years buttttt i'll say as a reformed crazy b*tch, yeah that was ***definitely*** a mad as hell woman who got played.

girl is dumb tho, that was easily a millenials revenge... thats as sad as it was uncreative.

she totally iced herself over, and poor thing just doesn't have enough juice to get him to give her what she wants lolololol

i think prince read the 4-hour work week and bought all that garbage about outsourcing cheaply, the only guy who makes money like that outsourcing CHEAPLY are guys who write books about outsourcing cheaply .....

nobody wants to work for free and Prince really needs to stop dabbling in the youngsters and expecting adult results. they can't cut it. i get the reason to at least try, i tired in my business but for every GOOD under 30 employee i had that was worth paying, there were at least 30 of them who weren't worth the time for the interview.

prince needs to seriously stop dipping in the millenial pool and spend on the professionals who won't do dumb bs like this. its a write off for him anyway - i dont get not spendin the money ....
