I dont think Prince has lawyers doing anything with his social media presence (just to clarify). Websherrif has only one job, and it has nothing to do with running his social media accounts. The people who post things are the members and spouses of 3EG.

They deny Prince-related issues and rumours, from their own personal/professional social media profiles, not Prince's.

Who are you referring to? A lawyer acting on behalf of a client would only deny something if it was related to a legal matter, unless they're not commenting in their capacity as lawyers, which would still be very odd to me if he were their client.

It's not that nearly that serious.

No, its not. You may however mean whoever's employed for him as a publicist.

People actually believe Prince himself is posting this stuff? Good lawd! Hell I place my bet on it being someone here from the Org before I'd bet on it being Prince. This stuff looks like half the stuff I see here on a daily basis. Just not as personal.

.

I'm sure it's a disgruntled associate who he pissed off or hurt and had the power to access the account.

.

Who knows maybe it was that chick that got booted from the Detroit show for texting on her phone. Or hell maybe it was Sheila E or possibly Tony M. That's almost on par with sayin it's actually Prince.

Nah... I don't want to say more if there are issues I didn't consider in play.

The funniest part of this is that you are acting as if he is still relevant.

The hacker was having a bit of fun at someone elses expense. Yep. He may never come back now.

no great loss, really. this is better than anything that was ever officially posted there.

and U're still not Me?

:/ Hmm. It obviously ain't Prince. But in my opinion, (talking about Prince in general) I think he's just a complicated man. A musical genius... but a complicated man... That's what I get from what I get from reading stories online.. I mean, I don't know him personally... But It's like he respects certain fans and other musicians..certain people that he puts into his clique but when it comes to certain people or mainly women that he's attracted to, (don't be so dense and blind, everyone knows this... There's countless stories about this.. like Jill Jones comes to mind) he plays mind games, and literally just f's them up in the head... The best we can do as fans and as people who don't know him is pray for him. (Or for ones who don't choose to pray, just like hope he gets better lol) But going back to this.. This was a very immature thing to do. I don't care who it was, how hurt they were by Prince, this was just lame... And I just can't understand how anyone can find this funny. Not funny at all. Just lame. Even though Prince CHOOSES not to do something we want, we really shouldn't get so worked up about it because at the end of the day it's the mans CHOICE not to do...

We love you Prince.

Could be he's off his meds. He's come off as really medicated for the past two decades. Maybe he's gone awol

Finally someone with a brain! Prince has always kept a distance between himself and his audiences, only answered one question for a Q&A to promote AOA. Deleted his social media accounts in December and would reactivate the account to insult his current musical associates? If common sense was common everyone would have it.

No Prince....we don't ALL love you.

Used2b said:

What do you mean by that?

What's with all the weird messages?

I think he just spoke through Funkenberry

A lesson learned that these 2015 models ain't loyal

Dude better leave those young things alone and call Sheila


****Best part of those posts was knowing that he ain't happy with 3EG...

That isn't proof. Just like there's no proof that it's him this time.

Sheesh... it's an old story, but thre is no doubt at all that it was him.

Funny thing is, even back then, people who weren't there made the "no proof" argument all over the Internet. Right up to the point when folks who took him up on the website offer met with him personaly, and in one case married and divorced him, lol!

Prince himself has told the story in an interview (Chris Rock VH1 IIRC), from his perspective, about 'taking part in an online debate about how he wasn't funky'. That's what he kept typing in the chatroom, "PRINCE AIN"T FUNKY NO MORE AND HIS MUSIC SUCKS", beng mildy disruptive at first but nobody paid much attention. Then more and more obnoxious stuff. Eventually he took over the timeline with tirades, meant to make us feel guilty for saying we didn't like his new music as much as the old stuff. He was a regular there until people realized it was him and then the asskissing started and that was the end of it.

Aynway, but like clockwork for a while, anyway, you could bet he would play a concert at Paisley and log on to AOL, about an hour later. Eventually he couldn't take the specific negative comments, the ones that are probably true, btw, and he blew up emotionally, very similarly to the Facebook comments today.

I'm not saying it was definitely him today, but it doesn't seem impossible to me that he said all those over-the-top things in a fit of anger and self-hatred or whatever.

What were those?

Prince brought this upon himself. He has surrounded himself with early 20 something year olds for the past few years. One of his little young girlfriends was bound to do something as immature as this. I said this earlier but I believe it was his former assistant/play thing mariah. She would have had access to his accounts. Her twitter is @mariahkayb. If you look at some stuff she has posted she seems very disgruntled with Prince and is no longer working for him.

Looks like KCOOL has finally snapped!

.

Considering his Org profile where he writes eXacTly like the "hacker" you would assume so!

.

I have to say it's NOT cool throwing shades on anybody with this though...including him. Don't point fingers at anybody unless you got solid proof he/she used Prince's FB account.

.

Btw...has there been an official statement regarding the messages that were sent out through his FB page? Is it weird that I think such a thing is expected/logical, like an apology for the crazyness that was sent out by "Prince"

[Edited 4/18/15 23:42pm]

y'know, funksterr is kinda convincing me that it might be prince... it IS a little strange that all the criticisms are things you (or prince) would read from the org.

.

on the other hand maybe the criticisms on the fb account sound the same as the criticisms on the org just because they're true...

It could be one of his teenage bimboes who was angry after Prince promised to make her a star by singing some squeak along bimbo rubbish, with tired mid 90s drumlines. But after sexing her, even prince realised that her vocal talents were so thin, that even Prince decided not to cut an album on her.

.

Yes 17 year Maria Bimboetta de Bimbo got her own revenge.

Anyone think that this might be someone's hacked response to his releasing of The X's Face?

P releases the track dissing some Ex, they retaliate by hacking his fb page. Seems plausible to me.

Specific criticisms of his music seemed to set him off. People were saying something favorable about When Doves Cry, compared to whatever his new song was at that time, and he went off.

The messages on Funkenberry seem odd to me. I'm not sure it's not the same person explaining why they've done it?????

Is possible...Prince has been talking to/about his X's through songs for the past years. There's a lot of backstabbing and retaliation going on that's for sure...drama with an audience...

.

Another thing not mentioned yet...why did this "hack" happen NOW, does it have something to do with Prince staying in Los Angeles?

There gotta be a specific reason this happened now...what was he doing there and who was he with?

Whoa! I just saw those messages on http://twitter.com/drfunkenberry

Makes you wonder indeed what this is all about?! No doubt there's more to this...

Thats the truth. Not funny at all. A lot of ppl feed off negativity and pain. A lot of ppl HERE. I think the hacker is just another "fan" with a miserable life and hangs around everyday in fan groups of a person they really hate but LOVE to hate bcuz that's really all they have. He/She had a great time 2day and entertained ppl of like mind.

And what brought you here, 50% of your 8 posts are in this thread...just sayin'

.

After reading the Funkenberry comments it's clear to me this wasn't an unknown hacker, probably another bitter unstable person in the Prince camp with password rights which he/she abused to get some attention...

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!
