Y'all forgot about LoveEcstacy in 1988. Kinda says it all in terms of whether Prince fux with drugs recreationaly. Also the Purple Prowler rumour from a.m.p. at a known drug house. "I am open to all experiences" when asked does he fux with da drugs. "I HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED" after the plane OD. I think it's plausible that he dabbled with pills over the years.

That I have been transformed tweet was not something Prince said, he was tweeting something a concert goer said after a P&M show. If you go through his Twitter feed you'll see he (or whomever was posting from his account) wasn't proficient on how to re-tweet stuff. They'd just copy somebody's comments into a new tweet which made it look like it was his tweet. And as much as people might be grasping at straws with all the foul play stuff I'd say the same for those suggesting he was a recreational user.

I'm glad you pointed this out. That tweet keeps getting brought up in the wrong context and attributed to Prince, even the media has done it.

Too many questions.
I really think people are gonna start talking.

Imho people need to start talking.

In one way I respect the idea about the family having right to privacy etc.

But really in another way, we are talking about a major public figure, a person that was extremly important and relevant wthin contemporary music/culture.

People want to know what happened,want to make sure there was not foul play, the only way for that clarity is for people to start talking.

Because

Somehow somehow it really seems like there is something amiss in all this.

There is too many questioins and somehow too much silence.

There must be people who knew things, knew enough about what was going on that can shed light on some things.

Has Will Smith even said what they talked about.

Why is everyone so damn quiet. What Kirk saying ?

Like why is it we hear this news about the clothes on backwards coming 4 months after the event ?

Now we hear there was bottle of pills labelled under a different name but containing Fetanyl.

We hear he had enough Fetanyl in his system to drop anyone ?

Amidst all that , no one's talking.

Cmon .

it's been said before and here it is again: this phrase is something


he RETWEETED FROM SOMEONE ELSE ON TWITTER. (not shouting at you, just making the letters really large)


he did not use that phrase to describe himself, he retweeted the words of a fan who posted that after seeing him in atlanta

According to this website: https://medlineplus.gov/anemia.html
Conditions that may lead to anemia include Heavy periods Pregnancy Ulcers Colon polyps or colon cancer Inherited disorders A diet that does not have enough iron, folic acid or vitamin B12 Blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia, or cancer Aplastic anemia, a condition that can be inherited or acquired G6PD deficiency, a metabolic disorder Anemia can make you feel tired, cold, dizzy, and irritable. You may be short of breath or have a headache.

If he was anemic it makes me wonder if he did have some illness. It would explain some of the photos we've seen where he had lots of clothes on, gloves, etc. like those photos of him getting off the plane for that private party he played on New Year's Eve. I refuse to believe he looked the way he did in 2016 just because of the pills he was taking. And why was he taking these pills in the first place? For shits and giggles? I don't think so. And don't be condescending saying those of us who feel this way näive or whatever. If he had been taking them for a long time (which I also don't believe) why did his physical appearance only really start to degrade in the last year or so of his life? Again that's assuming the pills are the reason he looked like he did, as some have suggested. It doesn't make sense.

I agree with everything you said.


Look at photos, videos etc. from the Musicology era up until the big 'fro and where he was wearing less makeup and he looks basically the same. I remember when he went on the View in late 2010 (or maybe it was early 2011) and Barbara Walters commented on how wonderful he looked. It wasn't really until 2015-16 that there was a noticible change in appearance.

Does anyone know...was Kim Berry his hair stylist up until the very end. I know she joined him around Diamonds and Pearls and I remember reading an interview where she talked about him wanting to go more natural with the 'fro. I wonder if she was still working with him in 2016.

oh. there it is. carry on wink

it matters that we credit the right person with these words because people have been using this phrase to show he was ready to die, to show he was high as a kite.... etc.

And I'm glad you posted what you did as well, because the more posts there are trying to clear up this error in attribution regarding that Tweet perhaps will increase awareness and decrease misunderstanding about where it originated.

Anemia and a low white cell count are not all that unusual. Vegetarians frequently have anemia and B12 deficiencies due to diet. A B12 deficiency can lead to a low white bllod cell count. I'm just sad that he's gone broken

I've never been on Twitter (well,I had an account for about 2 seconds once but never really used it...) and I am not well versed about the ins and out of it, and so would frequently get mixed up and confused reading thru P's tweets trying to figure out what was HIM, what was a retweet, what was an @, etc (especially if there were a few '@'s in a row)! haha I'm an oldster, I don't understand the Twitter smile

I don't know for sure...but it seems like I remember reading somewhere that in the last year or so Prince was doing his own hair and makeup.

You don't have to always have an illness to be anemic. I'm actually anemic myself and can vouch for the fact it can kick your ass sometimes because I have been through the headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and occasional heart palpitations. My iron has been "dangerously low" twice and according to my doctors both times I could've passed out at any moment even though I didn't feel like it. I felt fine. Plus apparently treatments don't always work as I've had 4 iron transfusions and with 3/4 my iron usually went right back down again. The 4th one I had seems like it's starting to wear off too but eh what can you do?

CoSign on the anemia. It can kick your ass and have you looking terrible and it almost cost me my life once (combined with hemorrhaging).

I don't think we should take too much from the family not saying much if the investigation is ongoing. Same for Kirk/Meron. It's a bit late but a proper press release to say there will be a further detailed statement from the family once the investigation is complete would've been a good idea. But playing shoulda woulda coulda is pointless isn't it.

dr drew seemed to think that he either sucked on the patches or took a syringe to them. It sounds like he may not have used fentanyl regularly, first because of the od and then because of his death. Still don't get the carelessness not to mention the illicit use of drugs. You'd think with his attitude towards illegal drugs he would have at least went through the trouble of doctor shopping.

--- Dr Drew is an asshat. The ME is saying he was not a user of Fentynal. The can tell from the test the ME ran. That is why they are saying it was accidental and if their is a criminal case the whole case will hinge on that. I think Prince had an Rx at one time got cut off and then decided he would get it from the streets. I don't think people realize that if was in pain getting off the meds will not make your pain go away. Would he have been able to work? Plus he had heart meds and anti-seziures meds. He was not a well man.

not a user of fentynal,, they didnt say he wasnt a long term user of vicdon, percs and or zanax which would kill you as well...They stated 20 differnt pill cases, pills in advil and vitamins...Further, people under doctors care who are terminal get meds.. Its disheartening to hear people who wont even consider the remote possibilty that he did indeed have a drug dependency and it caused his death

Why did it take 4 months to figure this out? It doesn't seem it would take that long to test the pills they confiscated in April.


That's probably not the reason for the delay. I think it's because investigators are building a case agains the supplier(s) and want to make it strong enough to prosecute.

It is dishearting that you can't keep up with what is going on.

They said his doctor wrote Rxs for him on the 20th and these were not pain meds.

Don't you think if this unnamed source is saying that he had Xanax and Anti-Seizure meds in his system that he might of had an Rx for those?

He was seeing DR. S for something and doctors don't run test for grins and giggles. DR. S was not a pain management doctor so maybe P was seeing him for other issues.

The pill bottles were marked vitamin C and had the fake Hoxydone in them and the found the oxy with someone else's name on it.

However 20 different pills bottles does not mean 20 different types of pills. We all know he was dependent on pain pills and it would appear to be the Hodrycone as will don't know what he OD on board the plane but we know it was not Fentanyl.

I can't speak for everyone but, no, I myself I don't consider that a realistic possibility at all. The simplest explanation is ususally the correct one and, to my mind, 95% of the puzzle is solved. The other 5% piece is figuring out who scored the counterfeit pills.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully mine never reaches that point. Right now I'm just relying on eating the right foods and drinking the right drinks to keep my iron up because I hate taking those stupid over the counter pills. They're pointless to me and a temporary fix to a bigger problem.

..Xanax is a controlled substance i take xanax,, its presecribed no more than two weeks at a time..everytime i need to refill it, i have to call the doctor whom since its a controlled substance has to fax or call it in to pharmacy..no way around it as its regulated by DEA..They authorities have said no scripts were written in Princes name for the 12 months prior to his death If he was on xanax from a dr, he'd have one

White blood cells fight infections. So high white blood count is not related to anemia.
Low red blood count is anemia. Haemoglobin.

This is a possible. I am not sure why people are so sure that something shady was not going on. I mean he had illegal pills somewhere in the food chain he was dealing with shady people if not directly then indirectly. You even have Mani calling people vultures and leeches. Who are the vultrues and leeches?

I am not sure I believe that he would have pills lying out in his duffel bag or so easily found in a search. Someone could have called the cops on him at anytime especially after the Moline incident so why have the stuff out. Still think it is weird his family did not clean up the place. It was weeks later when the police went in with a search warrant to Paisley Park. The backwards clothes and putting on a cap if you feeling sick and running to get help is weird as well. Even the Hyodrone is weird if it is really Codiene and Tylenol seem he could have just taken Tylenol and cold meds. Sipping on syrup like they do down south. It can kill you but you are not breaking the law drinking a bottle of cough meds.

Its disheartening to hear people who wont even consider the remote possibilty that he did indeed have a drug dependency and it caused his death


Or folks that wont even consider the real possibility that all this stuff was planted after the fact by whoever offed him to create the appearance of someone with a serious problem who is out of control.

out of respect for prince, i'm trying hard NOT to consider that.

i'm having a hard time embracing the 'prince was deliberately murdered in a hit-style attack'. on the other hand, quite a few people were benefiting from his generosity. he was vulnerable in the best kind of way, insofar as he was known to lend a helping hand.

warner brothers has a $hit ton to gain from prince's passing. TMZ was absolutely harassing him before his death.


however, in my lurid mind's eye lurks this scenario that maybe prince wasn't alone that night, but was with someone when he suffered a seizure...?

this is PURE SPECULATION from the imagination of someone who watches way too many scary movies:


we all keep saying how we would never have left prince alone, how it's impossible that no one was concerned enough to be there for him. well, maybe the obvious is true. maybe he wasn't alone.

imagine, it would sure as heck be awkward explaining one's presence when a superstar ODs on something fatal righjt in front of you, especially if you provided the dose and/or knew who did.... god what a sad thought. i apologize for letting my mind run on this way.

but could he have been with someone trying to help him make it until the morning when help would arrive? maybe he called an old or new friend over. he was known to call people in the middle of the night and ask them to come over.....

what if someone was with him? dressed him in a hurry and tried to get him downstairs to the car, all while protecting his privacy and avoiding 911??

i apologize again for sharing this fetid little blast of imagination with you. but since you mentioned it, this is what i see as maybe having happened, assuming that foul play is involved.

I don't know what to believe but I think this is a valid option, don't see why people think it's so impossible. Guessing that someone switched pills & set him up does not indicate a wild imagination, it's very possible. Stuff like this happens in reality!

Have read most of both threads. Everytime a new piece of information has come out, I've had to try and reconcile it. Now that the immediate shock of this is wearing off a bit, this is how I'm thinking about this:

P saw what happened to Michael Jackson. People are on record as saying he was deeply shaken by that. If he started having serious pain issues he might not have trusted a Doctor to prescribe for him fearing going down that route/someone else controlling his health and state of mind. Also vaguely remember hearing that he did not trust doctors re: Mayte's pregnancy (though I can't find a source for that so it might have just been speculation).



I gather that pretty much anything is available on the darkweb. P was always at the forefront of online technology. I suspect he would have known how to access the darkweb and self medicate. Being someone who was curious and intelligent and wanted to make himself knowledgeable on topics he was interested in, it is not outside the realms of possibility to me that he might have found out how much of what he should take and self medicated.



The problem with my reasoning/thinking here is the alternative explanations: he was shaken by MJ's death bc was also addicted to painkillers at that point and he was frightened he might be following the same path. Despite all our speculation, no one is on record as having been told by P he was in pain or had any other underlying conditions (in fact quite the opposite - even Judith Hill says she had no idea he was in pain and he never told her he was). Yet Judith was apparently instrumental in getting him hooked up with Kornfield the addiction specialist, who he agreed to see. So why pretend you're not in pain yet agree to see an addiction specialist?



The simplest explanation - and the one I wish the most wasn't true - is probably that P got addicted to painkillers after his hip surgery, couldn't get off them, and resorted to blackmarket drugs. Makes me sad but there we are. Up until now I wanted to believe he was prescribed the pain meds he died from for an underlying condition (like cancer), but now it seems the meds were not prescribed. They were also purposefully disguised, and as much as I hate to admit, that is addict behaviour. Despite the obvious changes in his body since 2014 it seems unlikely now to me that he was taking these meds for a condition like cancer, bc if he did have cancer, why has no one come out and said that?



This is where my thoughts are at right now but new information if/when it drops will probably change my mind yet again... hope I will be proven wrong confused

Someone should have been with him. Someone who could administer Narcan if necessary. That was my first thought after we knew how he died, and t keeps coming back to that. People knew he was in crisis. He od'd days before. Especially if someone with knowledge of that was also someone who was helping him get pills they for sure should have had a safety net in place.

Like everyone here, I am deeply saddened by his passing and troubled by the news of drug use /possible abuse /dependency, etc. However, what happened to the concept of personal accountability for one's actions? Yes, he was in crisis and shouldn't have been left alone. Yes, no one should have been pounding the pavement for him to supply him with illegal prescriptions drugs. However, no matter who it was or even if he/she /they would have decided to stop helping to procure the drugs, he would have found someone else who would. It's the nature of the beast/addiction. Having been an addict (and now 14 yrs sober) I can say this from experience. I was fully functioning, great job, family, money, etc., but if anyone or anything stood in my way of obtaining what I thought I needed ... They /it were cut off and out replaced by "yes men". This included doctors. Everyone has a price and he certainly could afford it. Before anyone comes down on me... I AM NOT SAYING HE WAS A JUNKIE LOSER... BLAH BLAH BLAH. I am saying he was human, and like me (and others like me), I don't believe he chose to become dependant /addicted. However, once he did, it was hard to shake the addiction. And unfortunately he lost the battle. Again, through his own choices. Breaks my heart.
