Disturbing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either WAY...

Someone (unidentified ) wanted Phaedra Removed.....Prince put Phaedra in that Position !!!!!!! WHo has the right to remove her ?

OR

Phaedra wanted to be Removed : WHat the hec happened that she would not want to stay around and look after that which she fought long and hard for ???

This is not sitting well with me......

maybe Phaedra doesn't want to be in the middle of the TIDAL nightmare that's coming.

Given Phaedras Role within Princes world over the last few years, One would assume that if anyone knew details about Princes deal with Tidal, it would be her.

I cant see her running because of that...

In her own words "I cant tell you how much I love Prince".

mmm, I'm not sure, I mean outside of his jw beliefs about politics, Prince demonstrated a pretty patriotic persona, so I'm not quite sure he'd of had THAT major of an issue with paying taxes even huge taxes. Show me if I'm wrong.

Prince was pretty notorious for paying tax bills years late. There is an article that was posted in a thread here on the org less tan 48 hours ago, in that article which was published a few years back, the taxes were so late that foreclosure had been filed against the property (one of his houses, not PP) [Edited 1/18/17 19:09pm]

Don't say that too loud around here.. you'll be accused of picking on him (although its the fact).

For what it's worth, I found this statement from Dr. Funk (birth name =Jeremiah Freed)....:

Freed: "Everyone tried to talk to him about a will. He would just say, like, "I'm not planning on dying."

....here: http://www.gq.com/story/prince-stories

If you haven't seen this particular article, there are lots of funny, endearing stories about Prince. Quotes from Prince are included as well.

FYI - If the link doesn't take you directly to the quote above, it is about 3/4 of the way down. A rather lengthy article.

EDITED FOR THE FOLLOWING: Just wanted to add....for the ladies, the first photo of P is divine! Absolutely swoon worthy! Worth a look for that alone. Sorry for going off topic...

I wonder if there was a clause negotiated with WB which addressed his music in the event of his death, outside of the recent release.

Clause? That would mean a CONtract. I have wondered the same/ just what kind of deal could have been made for Warners to suddenly be willing to grant his masters back?

Excellent questions. I often wondered that too. Also, I wondered if the new contract addressed the Vault contents.

I think, and I could be wrong, Bremer was saying that she was removed since Bremer was in "control" of Prince's estate. May be a strong word. There are some documents on the Probate court site that give some information to this issue, but not much.

I get the vibe, I am not an attorney so speculation on my end, she did not want to be removed. Also that there may have not been communication or great communication that she was removed.

I think she is privy to more information, and she wants to continue her role as manager of the LLC. Just a hunch. However, since Bremer has taken control, perhaps she is CYA (covering your ass) from the May date, which corresponds to Bremer taking control over the LLC and Prince's businesses as a whole.

Bremer is arguing since they are the SA, they have the right to remove her and run the LLC, that is my take on this situation.

if this proves to be true.... there is some dirty shit going on. and as long as bremer is in charge londell has an "in" and is privy to what's going on.

Given that so many celebrities get knicked behind tax issues I'm thinking it's an easy thing to let slide or they are watched very closely. I'm not saying I know what he will or will not do, just guessing. Seems like property taxes is the biggest issue with him, not sure about his issues with the federal income tax which is what's going to take the largest chunk in this case. But even the property tax, on PP, his baby, someone, a few months ago, posted on here something showing it was currently paid up.

One thing completely stunned me - I had never thought about it until a couple of years ago - but state tax departments require artists to pay taxes in their states if they make money in those particular jurisdictions. So if an artist goes on tour to 30 states, that is 30 tax jurisdictions to file in. Being an entertainer, as Prince was, requires a massive amount of legal and financial assistance. Unfortunately, whomever he entrusted these services to did not or could not successfully address end-of-life matters with him. So, IMO, these people patting themselves on the back for getting his masters back ... congratulate yourself about an absolutely unnecessary $100 million dollar tax bill.

Just a thought but why do you all care about this tax bill? The bottom line is that people (siblings) who had zero input in the creative process and/or making of the music are getting less money. Money they did nothing to earn in the first place. Seems like perfect P logic to me.

No the documents are not there to back up the Foreclousure. If you look in the Carver county site you will see late taxes paid and no of record of a tax sale or a lien which is what usually happens not a foreclosure. He was late paying and he did complain to Channahasen city conucil about property taxes being to high. [Edited 1/19/17 12:08pm]

Not to keep going around about the same stuff that's been talked about for years. But the yellow house was torn down in 2005?


Seems he got into issues with property taxes a lot. But still don't see income tax issues.

(copied from Laura) "That may well have been P's point. His family did nothing to earn that money so why should anyone be worried that it is going off to taxes." Great point. Also, sooo many of his women territorial, can you imagine his angst at having to then rate them monetarily? Well let's see she gets $100k, but I have to leave X more since she... and her I already paid! Etc. Etc. Perhaps he recognized the drama that could unfold.

One thing is for sure, he can no longer do anything with it so I guess it's let the chips fall where they may.

I guess seeing what happens with others estates never impressed him enough to even try controlling it after he's gone. Either those who loved you do what you would wish or they won't.

If the family handles it right his legacy will continue to generate funds for years or generations to come, so they won't be broke even if the taxes take more than half this go round. It's just money.

Yes, going back to 2008 it seemed to have been an issue with property taxes.

Prince, The Artist Former... His Taxes

Also there seemed to be some confusion about a tax issue with the french tax authorities for shows between 2009-2010. A summons was issued compelling him to appear. What came of it was an apparent Stipulation of Dismissal by P (whatever that means).

I thought the her documents were sealed. I bet it was Londell who wanted to have Pheadra fired so he could make Universal the administrator and maybe cut a deal for himself ( at least that is what he has been accused of) I never understood why they wanted to the administration away from NPG records. All of the money that is collected could have stayed in house.

I'm not understanding this at all. Seems some decision were made that Phaedra wasn't a part of and doesn't want to be held responsible for. All the different personalities involved now trying to steer in different directions. No longer just one person with one set of rules to deal with.

Somebody let Tidal stream more than P agreed to. Who would have? londell our Phaedra?

Just guessing, I don't really know. But based on what everyone seems to think, Londell only does things that line his own pockets so my guess would be Phaedra allowed Tidal to put the music on line. If this is true, to her I would say BLESS YOU!

WEALTH CULTURE
Prince Put Music Before Money. His Estate Is Ready to Cash In

https://www.bloomberg.com...ly-guarded

I posted another article about the details of his estate and how the handlers will make money and plus it look like they reduce the PP tours amount.

But damn quite a few people are going to be involve even though Prince was a complicated man in life and business.

Also I agree with this quote in the article:

"Though the impulse to control his catalog inspired fellow artists, it limited Prince’s exposure and hurt the value of his music." I and several others on the org (and even Questlove said this too) that Prince was hurting his legacy by kept his music off the internet pre-Tidal deal. So therefore the estate has some work to cut out to get his music to and keep his music in the mass.
