I actually GET where you are coming from JustAmeda...
Prince made sure he was paid while he was here, His family will benefit more than enough from what he left behind....
WHy do we have to make others rich from work that Prince did for US ? If the estate makes no money the family will have to sell everything then you will Nikki Minja remaking WDC. | |

So I"m suppose to throw my money at complete strangers who had no input on the making of his music and probably are not musicians either just because its "his estate"? I suspect all parties involve are going to ruin all he worked for any way...I say it's a matter of time before others are remaking his music. | |

Nope! I refuse to put any money in his estate or the hands of his family! He's gone and that is who an where I would want my money to go to. Since he's not here to benefit from it, I will stick to getting my music and stuff "underground" I for sure am not going to put any money in the hands of the big labels like UMG. I will gladly pay to go see certain musicians he worked with or buy their music because they are still here and can benefit from it, but unless I know exactly where my money is going to, who it's going to, and why then I will not put any money into anything just because Prince's name is behind it. Then say goodbye to Paisley Park. Paisley Park is in your heart

I hope you buy stuff because you like and want to own it. I want buy vault material and could careless about looking at something on YOUTUBE all day. | |

I mean really think about that for a minute and wait and see when cable subscriptions are free or Hulu or Netfilx. Millions of people are not viewing these clips. These Prince Facebook groups have maybe 1-2K members tops. Most of the clips I have saved on YouTube have like 10K views tops. The two Prince clips that had millions of views on YouTube were the RRHOF and Super Bowl performances. Paisley Park is in your heart

What do we know about Omarr? How trustworthy is he? All I know is he appears to be good friends with M2. Paisley Park is in your heart

We don't know how trustworthy Omar or any of Princes family members are...we know nothing about any of them ... I would guess Prince was distant for a reason. | |

Exactly! They come off as greedy. Do you really believe that if Prince were alive, people would even know who they are? | |

Maybe it's a generational thing, but blood is thicker than water. Your family is your family = love 'em, or hate 'em, they're there. Only they really know what they've been dealing with and proceeding as best they can in the situation. P left it up in the air and they have to figure it all out, and like most families, it's not a clear course. Unlike some others, his family has no choice - they have to take care of his legacy, be in the media, move forward, etc. And they are greiving a brother.
Can people cut them some slack, please? God is my Sugar Daddy. | |

I saw that subpoena neclp777. I just realized the new attorney for Omarr and Tyka is from the same law firm that issued the subpoena, Cozen O'Connor, which has been representing Tyka and Omarr for awhile now. | |

Would u go and see a movie if u hadn't seen the trailer and had no clue what it was about? So what if millions could download a video for nothing, what would they do with it? Enjoy it? Share it to a wider audience? And maybe 10% of them would go buy an album to hear more. There's always a rainbow 🌈 , at the end of every rain ☔️ | |

I think it has to do with the Tribute Concert, and the after show hosted by Londell. The Court approved redacting and/or sealing all documents relating to both. It could also be a move to have Londell removed from being an advisor to the other siblings because it appears there was a conflict of interest when he was a Entertainment Consultant for the Estate, and also giving personal business advice to the other siblings. | |

The things Tyka and Omarr accused Londell of her very serious and they are showing some integrity. If Londell is innocent he will get his day in court. | |

Okay. I didn't know that but, some come off as, well vultures. It's just messy, all this legal wrangling. I managed to get Ian Halperin's email address and messaged him twice - no answer. I doubt there is a will. | |

Put this stuff on sale and people won't need to go looking for it on YouTube or social media. Paisley Park is in your heart

It sure seems Londell over stepped his boundaries and has acted out childishly on social media. | |

I hope everyone understands that a regular JoeBlow Estate takes at least one year, if not 18+ months to process. P has a complicated Estate so it will take mucho longer. I think P's Estate is proceeding on course. .....Other than this Jeffers Slayer Rule Petition. I am confused as to why the Judge is even entertaining her claim. Her claim should be sent to the Sheriff's Department for investigation. Amen. JMJ

He had millions of streams and prior to streaming he sold a fair amount of music right after his death. The money is in licensing out the music and getting the vault and live material. If things are done right the estate will make money. | |
