No No No, it looks cheap, the idea sucks and nobody is interested in these people or their music.

They should open the studio doors for young fresh new talent, who write, play and record their own music and teach young kids the arts and crafts of making music.

That's what P would have wanted, not this shit.... wink

Let it be known now, for a fact, that Prince did not talk to his family nor was close with them. This has been difficult for me to watch but I am so ashamed, disgusted and angry with how his family has handled his passing and how his estate is managed.

I have no idea why the media goes to them for interviews because none of them knew him or what he desired. It's a joke.

And anyone close to him before he passed can verify what I am saying is true.

I WAS close with Prince and can state for a fact that NONE of this would be acceptable with him and none of this would ever be considered. It's not okay.

I ask that if you know me, please do not support this.

It's despicable. And it crushes me.

I purposely detach from this nonsense and don't comment because there is nothing I can do about it. 1f494.png💔

I want to speak this truth because it will be lost if I don't... to those who are simply fans and really knew little of Prince. He would not want this and I am asking that you boycott things like this. Out of respect.

Prince deserves so much more than to be represented as some circus act that is so blasé and commercialized for profit.

He wrote "slave" on his face for a reason. This is the perfect example. Being pimped by big top music industry giants and being forced to perform material he did not want to do, all for a buck.

He knew it was of essence to him and his artistry to maintain his integrity. To do and produce the material HE desired instead of having it chosen for him by people who only cared about money. This is not artistry, it's prostitution.

Don't devalue someone as prolific as he was by parading his name on a band that could NEVER be him.

If you are fascinated by his music, please take the time to actually learn about him. Buy all his albums. Not just the songs "When Doves Cry" or "Kiss".

Really learn his story and you will understand why this is so upsetting to me and those that actually knew what he stood for. 1f64f_1f3fd.png🙏🏽1f49c.png💜

Marva is not being held hostage. Much of it was her idea.

poor Marva King, looks like she's being held hostage ...like she wants no part of the bullshit... like maybe the sexy, thick sister to the left of her, has a gun pointed in her back, in case she tries to leave the photo shoot... what a complete mess... whoever signed off on using this as a publicity photo should get their ass kicked ....twice....

Read carefully. The money is not going to the estate. This is Omarr's project, and Omarr alone. He is doing this independently of the estate, so the $$ will all be his.

purplerabbithole said:

I thought I was disheartened by NPG and Revolution touring without Prince. this takes the cake however. Prince must have been paying for everything for his half-bro while he was alive. Becuase now that he is dead and his fortune is tied up in probate, Omar resorts to his lunacy to get money. Does anyone actually think this band will make any money for the estate, especially when Prince music is available on Spotify, Amazon etc. Its not all of his music or concerts (which is very unfortunate) but it is certainly the same music these folks are probably going to cover in their little "tribute" band. This impersonater might be really talented but I have never liked the concept of impersonaters. they are nothing but caricatures most of the time (which is okay for comedy, but not much else) and the imagery they are projecting on this poster of this Prince substitute is skeevy and creepy. For one, he is not delicate enough or young enough looking to pull off that look. And the look is a badly derivative version of Graffiti Bridge Prince. (Prince pulled it off--this dude does not.) Appearance-wise, he looks like the tommy Wiseau (god awful, tacky actor and director ofthe worst film ever made the Room) of Prince impersonators.

Also Prince is irreplacable. Period.

Lala Escarzega...she is a dancer that prince used, and had a personal relationship with. Some say she came back into the picture around the time he and Andy stopped...and regardless of who she is, do you not think she is right? and prince would laugh at how utterly stupid this is...and it is a shining gigantic example of how, we will single out Omar here, he needs to either go to back to school for a decade and educate himself in music business, or sit on his big ass, wait for princes money, and go buy some boy toys to amuse himself, because this thing here is not good for anyone...Omar if you are listening STOP!

So Lala is an expert on Prince’s wishes now? And what does she mean when she says “NONE of this would be acceptable”? Is she including Paisley Park becoming a museum? Because Graceland says they have emails Prince left detailing how he wanted things done. Funkenberry also said Prince was working on making Paisley Park a museum. Is she calling these people liars?

Is she the one he used in the video with Q-Tip?

I don't care for this New Power Soul covers band.

I don't know if she is right about Prince not speaking with his family ie Tyka & Omar

But yeah Omar & Marva are way off on this. We cannot leave Marva out of it. She is the one that approached Omar about it lol

She may know something about Prince's relationship with Omarr since he really was not visable until after Prince's death. We know Tyka worked for Prince and travelled with him. We the public no very little about Omarr.

LaLa was a dancer that Prince used in a few videos "Dance 4 Me and Extra lovable. I believe we the public have only seen D4M. She claims she did five videos for/with him. She has shared some e-mail correspondence with him on her Instagram from about a year or so ago. Was vocal about him not having AIDS or being a dope addict. I think she knows what was going on with his health other then what we have been told. There are rumors they dated but she had not presented herself as an old girlfriend and has not actually had too much to say via her Social media for a few months now.

So Lala is an expert on Prince’s wishes now? And what does she mean when she says “NONE of this would be acceptable”? Is she including Paisley Park becoming a museum? Because Graceland says they have emails Prince left detailing how he wanted things done. Funkenberry also said Prince was working on making Paisley Park a museum. Is she calling these people liars? [Edited 9/22/17 5:44am]

She did not say anything about the museum she is discussing this project.



She may know something about Prince's relationship with Omarr since he really was not visable until after Prince's death. We know Tyka worked for Prince and travelled with him. We the public no very little about Omarr.


That’s why I asked what does she mean by NONE of this? Is she specifically referring to this project or everything being done by the estate in general. Hard to tell from her post.
Paisley Park is in your heart

Was Omarr the one in the mental hospital? And if so, why, when Prince died was he suddenly okay and let out? Again, not being sarcastic I just don't understand why he was locked up for decades and now is out and making these decisions?

that was Alfred Jackson that was institutionalized, not Omarr Baker

Okay- okay- Makes more sense...

Well she did not mention anything specifically so I believe she is discussing the latest and greatest.

You should probably read the article again because it does state that some of the money will go towards paying the estate tax bill. Granted, Omarr DOESN'T HAVE TO designate any funds from this venture to the estate as it is true, this is separate and apart from the estate (sort of, as he did obtain licensing from the estate for use of the name New Power Soul as this group's name) But it's suspect either way and the idea to do this is VERY ill-advised. Again, I gotta ask what did Omarr do for a living before Prince died? My guess is Prince was supporting him financially and then when estate got tied up in probate, he's become desperate for cash and came up with this hair-brained idea.

Read carefully. The money is not going to the estate. This is Omarr's project, and Omarr alone. He is doing this independently of the estate, so the $$ will all be his.

I thought I was disheartened by NPG and Revolution touring without Prince. this takes the cake however. Prince must have been paying for everything for his half-bro while he was alive. Becuase now that he is dead and his fortune is tied up in probate, Omar resorts to his lunacy to get money. Does anyone actually think this band will make any money for the estate, especially when Prince music is available on Spotify, Amazon etc. Its not all of his music or concerts (which is very unfortunate) but it is certainly the same music these folks are probably going to cover in their little "tribute" band. This impersonater might be really talented but I have never liked the concept of impersonaters. they are nothing but caricatures most of the time (which is okay for comedy, but not much else) and the imagery they are projecting on this poster of this Prince substitute is skeevy and creepy. For one, he is not delicate enough or young enough looking to pull off that look. And the look is a badly derivative version of Graffiti Bridge Prince. (Prince pulled it off--this dude does not.) Appearance-wise, he looks like the tommy Wiseau (god awful, tacky actor and director ofthe worst film ever made the Room) of Prince impersonators.

Also Prince is irreplacable. Period.
