So,Kirky.J is now his bodyguard

One of the many things that makes me feel as though Prince got money probs.

EVERY entertainer would LOVE to have a bodyguard that is a VERY close friend of theirs that they can trust. Kirk has been working 4 4 DECADES in several capacities.

Why not just make him his bodyguard? Kirk has his own workout center. [Snip - luv4u]

Looks like his scalp to me.

wow...Prince looks so freakishly young. This dude is damn near 60, and still looks like he's in his late 20's. It's insane!

Everytime I see a picture of him lately I can't help but think that he looks sad and melancholy... Which is fine... is it just me?

Uh-huh.... Dude is 60. Not exactly the time in life to start a career as a bodyguard.

So Kirky J does not understand that the Prince man has no expectation of privacy on a public sidewalk.

Money problems... Pleeze. He could still make $100 million off a Purple Rain reunion tour, album, merchandising, advertising, etc. Not to mention his steadfast refusal to exploit his music in commercials and movies. His business decisions have been driven by his independent and creative philosophy after a career that has put him into a financially comfortable position.

He said the exact opposite just 2 years ago when he began handling his own publishing. Is there lack of interest? Are his demands too high? IDK. What I do know is that his last 5-7 albums combined didn't sell, so no royalties there. In fact nothing he's been a part of has sold well in a decade or more.

He can't be pulling much off the back catalog, because people don't pay for music anymore. Like, who's going to pay him? Itunes? Tidal? LOL.

I'm guessing that's a Forbes magazine number, and all I can say about those Forbes lists is that they seem to be publicity driven estimates of what someone's rights or property might command if they were sold, and blah blah blah. I don't see how they could have access to the actuals.

Ask any broke former lottery winner how easy it is to blow through $100 million dollars.

60 is too old to hold your hand up infront of a camera to you? Prince uses a team of bodyguards when he needs a team of bodyguards. I've seen it. He doesn't need them when he runs out to buy lunch or whatever that was.

When did John Blackwell work as Prince's bodygaurd? Oh yeah that's right he's a professional drummer. TBH, I kind of like the look though. Prince is stuntin' and frontin' at the same damn time. I LOVE IT! He seems more human. Reminds me of Morris and Jerome in Purple Rain.

Oh I see, you're one of those Orgers that thinks anything potentially unflattering that's said about Prince makes me a deranged, bitter, Orger....huh.....well, your response reminds me of why I seldom post in this part of the Org. Get over it already. Whether or not he's wearing a wig isn't that serious either way it goes.

Pay no mind to Kcool, he's the resident nut

Because Kirk will work for low pay and Prince is too cheap to hire an ACTUAL bodyguard?

No he's not. KCool is positive.

In Prince's world,being a bodyguard can lead to bigger things.For example,in the late 80s,Gilbert Davison was one of Prince's bodyguards.In 1992,Prince "promoted" him to President of Paisley Park Enterprises.Yeah,I know that situation turned out badly (lol),but still....

Prince is so rude to others, I would never even attempt to speak to him if I saw him in person.

It isn't money problems. It's people problems. Prince can't get most people to like him too long. The few that do don't have any communication with him for years, leaving them enough time to forget just how screwed up Prince treats people. Looks like Prince gave Kirky a job offer he couldn't refuse. So glamorous.

That's why EVERYONE he summons back drops everything 2b in his presence again. Morris Day ANYONE?

bTW : Morris is working on a new album...

Maybe Morris needs money.
