Last year, a former addict who writes on the internet (she is now sober but had a Fentanyl addiction) said that Prince had been taking pills for a very long time, probably decades. People basically crucified me when I brought her comments up, but whether it was addiction or dependency doesn't matter to me. I know he didn't take anything to get high, and I respect him no matter what he did. He NEEDED these drugs to function, to reasonably live his life. That was all. But he needed what he apparently could no longer get legally, or did not want to get legally because he wanted to stay on the down low. I still have lots of questions about his last six months, and most especially about Moline to April 21. All of those pills all over the place ... Were they all over the place because Romeo was on vacation so no one would see his personal quarters so it was okay to put the bottles out there, or was it something else? I honestly don't know. But someone got him those pills. There were no boxes from China showing up at PP with Meron signing for them, I can guarantee that.

You and I feel the same.

yes and we can't let "the masses" think he was a "junkie" because we all know that the masses reject any rock star or entertainer who struggle with addiction.

-

I mean just look at how they masses completely abandoned Elton John or David Bowie when they talked about their cocaine addictions (what ever happened to those losers, I wonder?), or how no one even knows anymore that Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix or Elvis created music -- let alone anyone actually listening to it! We wouldn't want Prince relegated to the trash heap of history like those rejects. So we better keep posting on message boards to prevent that from happening.

PurpleDiamonds1 said: Yes. He took a pill not knowing it was laced. But he took it because he had been taking pills. Unfortunately, this one pill killed him. But it wasn't the first and only pill he took. Ever. He had been taking pills ,probably for pain, probably for a very long time. I don't think of Prince as a street corner junkie. But I do believe he had a dependence on these pills and had been taking them for some time. So, yes. Being a drug user, a drug dependent person is part of who he was. It certainly doesn't diminish him as a person or a musician. I have great compassion and empathy for him and anyone else who is struggling or has struggled with the same thing.

Your logic, compassion and reason have no place here.

If you'll excuse us, we're trying to solve Prince's murder because everyone knows that Prince would never take drugs. He was perfect in every way and not some disgusting druggie who did disgusting drugs like a druggie who's disgusting and everyone is out to get him and tarnish the man in ppart because he is black. We all know that no one who ever abuses prescription drugs can accomplish things or succeed in any way.

Everyone who uses drugs is a strung out loser who drools all over themselves, nods out, shits themselves, steals things and can't ever work and they should all be in jail because they are worthless scum and addiction is not a medical issue. Prince was not worthless scum, nor unproductive, and was never in jail therefore he couldn't have possibly have had a drug problem and accidentally overdosed. Ergo, there must be some other explanation and I heard it from a person who posted it on Twitter that it was probably murder because that makes way more sense.

Now if you'll excuse me I have some windmills I need to tilt.

Elton John and David Bowie were alive and well when they were had drug problem they could clean up and move on.

Prince does not have that option and he was not going to talk about with the public anyway.

Prince is not Elvis, Jimi or Janis. Different times and maybe their estates are okay with how they are presented. I know when Jimi half-sister took over his estate she put a stop to anything drug related being associated with him and for a good reason. You no longer see Jimi's face over the top of a Mary jane leaf. They are selling him as a great musician not some guy who joked on his own vomit because his dingbat girlfriend ran off.

You obviously do not know anything about branding and marketing. Prince should be remembered for how he lived not how he died. He never promoted drug use, he promoted clean living, spirituality and charitable giving. We need to know more about that and less about his years of drug use that no one can prove. That is my opinion and no one has a right to tell me how to think

Tyka told the court there was no will. I do not remember any video footage so no one knows if she was gleeful. Prince divored M1 so if they find a will I doubt she would be in it.

I do not understand why Tkya keeps getting attacked if Prince had an issue with her he would have drawn up a will and written her out. It is his sister Sharon who is the trouble maker.

Of course she is his widow and she is still hoping they find that will.

I am hoping the same. But as Tyka gleefully exclaimed "there is no will!". Wonder why she was so happy about that??

I remember the video. And she was just as gleeful when she said it as she was when she said she knew 2 years ago that her brother was going to die. Wheeee! I'm on TV!

You will have to show me the video footage of her saying their is no will. At that point cameras were not allowed in the court room and now they are only allowed at the jugde's descrition.

I also did not think she was gleeful on Entertainment Tonight either. I wish more people would read the court docs the bad people are Sharon and the other older sibs.

I think it was the law firm representing Tyka which asked the Court for Bremer since there was no will. I don't remember her physically presenting herself to a camera to say there was no will.

UPDATE to my post from yesterday (see below):

I heard a rumor that Sheila E. had asked Tyka if she could view Prince's body, and Tyka refused. Have any of y'all heard anything like this, because this is the first time I heard about it.

No, where did you see this??

Someone on YT made that statement. If they respond to me, I will post it here.

UPDATE: I managed to go back and find that post I was referring to. Now, I don't know where this person is getting this information from or it is just her personal opinions. See comment below & link.

Janet Huegerich said: Sheila E. said she requested to see Prince's body and Tyka refused to allow that. Now why would Sheila want to see Prince's body? Because she knew Prince too well and I believe she thought the same as me, he is not dead. And why would Tyka refuse to let someone that close to Prince view his body? Because there is no body to view. Sheila said in an interview she had made several attempts to get a hold of Prince recently before his supposed death and she could not get through to him, like people were trying to keep her away from him and prevent her from talking to him. Why would they do that? That I do not have an answer for, but I do not trust Kirk or Tyka and I am sure they had everything to do with it and they were taking full advantage of Prince in the state he was in.

Yeah, you have such a problem with those 2 books, and yet you are participating in both of the book clubs. LMAO.

You have a right to think what you want, but you don't have a right to twist my words and try to put words in my mouth that I did not say. You seem to have that bad habit, with quite a few on this forum.

. You do not have permission to put words in my mouth when I never said such a thing. So STOP IT, and DON'T do it again. You understand? Is that clear enough for you?

[Edited 5/11/17 9:53am]

I am not putting words in your mouth. I am telling you how your comments come across to me. Why is this so difficult for you to understand. I also love the internet courage as if someone should shake in their boots.

Then you definitely do have a comprehension problem. You say I say these things and YOU have it so screwed up that it doesn't resemble a thing I said, so again You do not have permission to put words in my mouth when I never said such a thing. So STOP IT, and DON'T do it again. You understand? Is that clear enough for you?

.

You have even been known to change peoples quotes to suit your purpose.

.

Maybe you should just not respond to my posts and I not respond to yours. Of course, it doesn't make a difference if I respond to yours or not, because you always jump right in the middle of other peeps convos.

laurarichardson said: Well said...plus that same person was with him on the Moline flight and Prince himself called him a user.

I hope someone is following the money because I thought is was weird that Tidal claims they sent 3 million dollars to Prince but the estate could only account for $750k now Tidal has asked for a court date. How come the estate did not know where the the rest of the money was and how handled the revenue from his last concerts?

Did someone have POV for Prince? If so who and why.

.

Use me up!

.

Maybe Prince or Kirk put that money away somewhere? Did the authorities look at all KJ's bank accounts?

I know Sheila said she called and she was told he was sleeping repeatly told he was sleeping. She never spoke to him but she was at a family charity event in October so I would be surprised if she was upset plus it has been said that he was in rigor Mortis I do not know if she wanted to see him that condition.
