We need to reevaluate everything we thought we knew about Prince

The day after Prince's passing an interview appeared online with an anonymous man claiming to have been his drug dealer.

this guy says that he regularly sold painkillers and fentanyl to prince. He actually names fentanyl and this is way before the autopsy results were released and we even learned of that drug's involvement.

He also says prince was only into pills which is how he managed to sustain such a discreet habit that no one ever picked up on.. I would post a link but I'm not sure how. Article is still up if you search for it..

Anyway this combined with Prince displaying what could be construed as classic textbook drug user behaviour of being notoriously secretive and overprotective bordering on paranoid about anyone knowing details about his private life has me reconsidering things

I never wanted to believe it at first but I'm starting to think we need to reevaluate everything we thought we knew about Prince and realise he very likely had a secret life never knew about. at the end of the day we only ever knew about him what HE allowed us to know

Umm, HOW do we need to reevaluate "everything"? confused I don't need to reevaluate SHIT. He was a stellar musician who gave me a lifetime of amazing music. We are not owed every fucking detail of his (or ANY celeb's) life. I haaaaaate that this happened, & his death was preventable, but wtf is there to revisit? He was amazing, & he had a problem, & it ended up killing him. I'm not gonna go back & guess & look at EVERY nook & cranny through a "drug" lens, because WE DON'T KNOW & never will. Ugh, some of these fucking threads man saw

heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

I know in my heart that Prince wasnt a damn dope head...thats all I need to know. The media can post as much shit as they want. I believe what I believe and reevaluating this sad ass shit wont change the fact that Prince is gone.

---- What the fuck are you talking about??? He was private person long before drugs were his problem. It is called having a private life and not putting your business in the streets. Now they think he brought stuff off the internet so I guess that blows the friendly neighborhood drug dealer theory out of the water.

--- Exactly he did not exhibit the classic behavior of someone who was strung out. I firmly believe he was sick from something else and doing what he felt he needed to do to handle his affairs.

Im sorry Im at work...I dont know if you have a typo here but I do believe he was sick from something else and took what he could to mask the pain. If that was the case then hell Im not mad at Prince....I just wish he couldve passed under better circumstances and not in a fucking elevator...damn.

Never mind what the fans think they know. How can countless people WHO ACTUALLY KNEW HIM be so insistent that he was anti-drugs? This is the consistent thing the people who were around him say and have been saying throughout his career- some associates were even doubtful that pain meds would be involved in the very beginning.

Nothing about him seemed drugged out but now the MSM have created the narrative people will go back and see things that are not there!

Why can no one accept that he was a private person?? Why does it have to be an indicator of something suspect? Why is it seen as a bad thing?

All the speculation is too much sometimes (his child, his family, his relationships), let the man rest in peace!

This is the most bizzare "fan site" I've ever come across.

It is just that the media is ignoring what must now be well over 100 people have been saying " He never acted high" It is employees, people in his neighborhood, friends, concert attendees, and so many people he just bumped into. How does one do two piano shows back to back, interact with the audience and travel internationally and be strung out on pain pills that can literally have you laying in the floor.

I firmly belive he was going thru health issues and was not strung out on this stuff but trying different drugs to stay functional. I feel a big piece of the puzzle is missing and I believe some of his associates are aware but are respecting his privacy which we can see the media is not going to do. Would love it if the media left it alone but they are not.

I know that it is taking a long time, but the truth about P is going to come out eventually...there's much money to be made revealing the truth.

Reevaluate?? What is there to reevaluate? The man was a musical genius who became a legend. True fans will never have to reevaluate. Prince made his fans happy, as he sang to each and every one of us about our own lives. He was sick, and had a lot of pain. His close inner circle say he was anti drugs. They knew him personally. We did not. Everyone is entitled to a private life. So don't throw the first stone. We are all sinners. Nobody should be judging. So try to find your "Way Back Home".

yeahthat Whatever was happening if he had wanted us to know he would have told us...he didn't. For me, I took everything Prince wanted to give me as a musician, I have no rights to anything else.

Like millions of people, he struggled with pain management and addiction. I think we have all accepted and embraced that. It does not make me think any less of him. It just makes me sad that no one helped him because he helped so many.

But if that's not the case you will be mad at him? How could you? It's hard to believe anyone who considers them self a fan, who admired his work, who followed his career, who supported him could be mad at him for going and dying from something you don't like. Are you ashamed of him? I'm not. That's why I don't need to revisit anything. He was a human being not some fucking mythical creature you put impossible expectations upon. It truly saddens me how shallow some people are.

I can't get over some of the ridiculous threads on this site and all the bullshit speculations that people have like they knew him personally. neutral

I said I'm not mad at him for trying to alleviate his pain...and I'm not. why the hell are you attacking me? I'm on Prince's side unlike those who want to make him a damn junkie.

Truth be told I only care that he died alone and some of his fans who say they are fans want to make him out to be a damn addict.

Excuse me? Why do you NOT want to believe anything that's staring you in the face? Accepting that he died as he did is not making him out to be a "damn addict". What would make you feel better about what killed him? I think we can all agree that he deserved a better ending. I can hardly bear the thought of him passing alone in an elevator. I'll never be able to reconcile that. Yet it does no one any good to confuse those circumstances with what killed him. I don't like it either. I don't like that he got hooked on drugs. And you know what? You can bet your ass that no one hated it more than Prince himself! You are preaching to the choir lady.


child please you're just repeating everything I said about his death..I don't argue with folks online. I hope you come to terms with all this cuz it sounds like you need to.

Lol. Ok. Says the pot to the kettle. I'm not arguing. I am confused tho as to when we are supposed to believe, or not believe, what the media reports. Does anyone know what the criteria are for that? Is it never? Or just on mondays? Mondays are always bullshit news days I bet?
