When Prince was alive he made sure people around him never talked with the media!
This right here is the reason why! Kirk should have just kept silent and lets hope he continues to do so The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Could you please calrify what you mean. --Because they aren't media savvy? Because they look stupid trying to avoid obvious questions? Because Prince made them tell obvious lies like, "NO we aren't fking." and " NO really we write are own material and Prince let's us do what we like." Maybe Kirk comes off as shady because he looks and acts shady. As a person who signed up with a very specific kind of attorney and is playing dumb about things he surely knows. Oh and he jumped right into cooperating with the investigation so he could not be forced to testify about things that would most certainly incriminate him. If it's magic, then why can't it be everlasting..... | |

Maybe I missed this but doesn't the relationship between Kirk and Prince go back to at least 1970? Hahn refers to a video of Prince with a bunch of kids at a summer camp in 1970. He says that the camera pans to Keith johnson, his future wife, and Keith's younger brother Kirk. Hahn says that Keith went on to officiate at maytes and princes wedding. If this has been referenced...never mind..carry on😊 | |

If Kirk was just concerned about having a lawyer present for police questioning why not just get a plain old criminal defense attorney? Why a lawyer that specializes in drug enabling? I belive Kirk was/is a suspect however, that means nothing if there is no evidence. He had better hope that the police keep the file closed to the public because I will bet money he will be listed as a suspect it was a suspect at one time in the case. | |

I believe that there is no way that Kirk is not, in some part cupable, in obtaining the counterfeit tablets for Prince. I do not believe Kirk was there when Prince took the tablets and died. If it's magic, then why can't it be everlasting..... | |

If Kirk is 100% innocent - Lord Forgive me.. But, Kirk Johnson was the first person that i thought needed Questioning when i heard that Prince died.. Where was Kirk? What does he Think? Feel? about Prince's Death? Who drove Prince to Wallgreens? [Edited 4/5/17 13:34pm] | |

fortuneandserendipity said: Spanky said: anthonyspeaks said: Unfortunately and surprisingly, over the years, i've seen a lot of hate towards Kirk Johnson on the org. I'd like to inject a bit of positivity for and towards this brotha cuz he deserves it. First off, as far as talent, i feel like there's more than meets the eye with him. He assumed a variety of roles with Prince and i don't think Prince offered him the opportunities for the hell of it. He was a dancer, percussionist, drummer, programmer, producer, mastered Chaos and Disorder, managed Paisley Park and seemed to be a road assistant to Prince. He moved very easily from one role to the next. He would again assume the role of drummer prior to Prince's passing. And, he was a close friend to Prince, which was pretty major. As far as the interview, i found Kirk to be very sincere and both protective and respectful to Prince's legacy and privacy. The interviewer, on the other hand, was very shady and attempted to goad Kirk into answering questions which were of a sensationalist bend/agenda and Kirk responded with chuckles and some firm "next question" retorts. To me, he comes off as solid on all fronts. Friend till the end with Prince and possessor of many (growing and developing) talents. Kirk was on the plane when he first OD'd. Kirk found him in the elevator. What was Kirk's official title during those last few weeks?

Definitely. As soon as I heard she entered rehab, I started wondering about the connections. I don't really know what I feel about the drug allegations regarding Prince...I vacillate back and forth... but according to reports Chaka and Whitney were get high buddies, as were Chaka and the R&B singer Michel’le back in the day. In the end I guess it doesn't really even matter | |

In the end I guess it doesn't really even matter Were Prince and Chaka that close on a regular basis? I believe it was the end of 2009 when Prince moved back to Minnesota. I don't remember seeing a lot of stories about Chaka being on the scene the last few years of his life. Paisley Park is in your heart

1. I did not say "were Prince and Chaka that close...." 2. Don't know who "we" are, while I don't claim to know, or have read every thread or post on here, but like the poster stated I had not seen any discussion regarding this topic other than she entered rehab 3. One can't figure out *^&t because WE weren't there 4. Like all artist, you use your imagination to paint, don't need you to paint anything for me because you're imagination is for you and you alone 5. Only Prince knows what he was doing
tired of playing nice, and being all about the love4oneanother vibe, with the unnecessarily rude people on here who think they know everything. Doubt if one person on here knew Prince, or was in his inner circle, to be spouting declarations like they have the 411; it's freaking obvious that even those people in his circle only knew what Prince wanted them to know. | |

Kirk Johnson will be known to the general public as 1 of 3 people who found Prince dead when was collapsed inside the elevator at Paisley Park but I'm curious to hear the album Prince recorded with Kirk, Adrian Crutchfield and Mononeon because Kirk in the final years of Prince's life, played drums on the album Prince producde for Judith Hill. I hope Kirk will get his props for being a good drummer for Prince and contributing to some of Prince's best work in the '90s by helping Prince co-produce "Emancipation" and doing drum programming on "Gold Experience". 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

Prince, who was known for trusting noone but himself, kept Kirk around for many years. So there's that. That trust can go a long way... | |
