Prince Estate Rejected Melania Movie https://www.nme.com/news/...c-3931660# The producer then added that they were initially thinking they could incorporate a Prince song, until a “lawyer that manages the estate” got in touch and told them that “Prince would never want his song associated with Donald Trump”. “We were like, ‘But it’s not a Donald Trump film! He comes into the movie once in a while, but this is all about Melania. It’s not political.’ And that guy blocked it. It’s so ridiculous.” |

Those people are so incredibly full of shit!! This statement (and the whole project) sounds like it's straight off some banana republic's propaganda minister . Not to mention the fact they picked an alledged sex offender who's been cancelled for years to make the picture, which is totally sending a message...

We seriously underestimate Prince's political leanings.
It's one thing to be giving money to an organization under the impression that they're credible and well-meaning. It's another entirely to later find out it was a grift largely based on social media's penchant for out-of-context consumption and virality.
For all of his eccentricities, inconsistencies, and hypocrisies, Prince was always more conservative than he let on. He was also, unfortunately, a conspiracy theorist.
He absolutely wouldn't be OK with the current administration's divisiveness and heavy-handedness. At the same time, he probably wouldn't be OK with the opposing team's wanton "progressivism" that keeps biting them in the ass while they refuse guardrails, dissenters or recusants.

But remember in one of his last interviews, he said "You're going to have a female president sin. We men have done enough. " His politics were like most people, all over the place. Conservative when it came to taxes but personally b liberal in most politics hosted and supported a Denigrate for MPLS Mattie (asharon Brenton).

Hate to say this, but this is a damn good move. Grace Jones, Rolling Stones, and some others refused. (Jagger is a smart business guy.) "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts." (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) |

[Edited 2/27/26 3:08am] He certainly had become conservative. As for conspiracy theories, I remember the chemtrails embarrassment, but was there ever something else? I often wondered what he'd say about many things that happened since he died. The whole woke thing, #metoo, Covid, Ukraine, AI, etc. With the triumph of conspiracy theories ever since 2016,I sometimes wondered if he'd have fallen for some of them. I'm pretty sure he'd have been against Trump if only because of the openly racist policies, though. From "deleting" Black people from American history to increased police brutality. Let's not forget Baltimore was one of his last statements. A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

Here's what I read today about Netflix backing off from buying WB: "Many believe that Sarandos got bad news from the Trump administration, as the President was always expected to back Paramount and didn't seem to appreciate Netflix's refusal to fire one of its board members who spoke out against him." A banana republic situation again... Good news though, as the trades always seemed to believe Paramount would be a better option than Netflix in order to keep WB alive after the deal.

His belief in a non-existent entity called god, and all his babbling about it. The nonsense about a "theocratic order", his homophobic behaviour, anti semitic remarks. |

I wouldn't call those conspiracy theories. It's just plain old Christian bigotry. Which doesn't make it better, I'll give you that.

STAUROS! "perhaps someone lied about the way somebody died" This is arguing about legends that are loosely based on historical events we know very little about (and most likely will never know more about). I would still classify this as theologian arguments, no conspiracy theories in the modern sense. It's like creationism or the shroud. Those debates predate modern conspiracy theories (or even modern science, for that matter). They're equally absurd, mind you.

Despite some wishful thinking over here, I doubt that Prince would be considered "conservative" by anyone's standards today. No way that Mr. Love41Another would condone what Trump/ICE did in MPLS. | |

uhh excuse me ? does londell know what party prince was for ? or is this londell's opinion saying it's princes. This is just about music and entertainment, why did he have to make it political? well maybe the movie producers will throw in a hillary spot to oppese Londell , like he thinks he's some kind of god and people need to bend to his will or he wont release prince music. This Londell guy is rediculous.
This sounds like a guess at best, who knows maybe prince was a republican |

I do think he would likely still hold some conservative views but he wasn't a complete prick so I doubt he'd condone what Agent Orange and his Storm Troopers are doing in his home state. Nor would he allow his music to be used in Melanoma's documentary. | |

I'm a little surprised at how so many Prince fans are certain that he couldn't have changed his views again. I'm not. Yes, he might still be a vocal Black Lives Matter supporter. But after all the changes of heart we've witnessed (plus trivializing slavery with his "slave" antics and his chemtrails comments), I wouldn't have been surprised at all if he had voiced criticism of some of the excesses of left-wing politics during this time. Perhaps, for example, he wouldn't have been too thrilled about having a Somali community in his hometown that caused certain problems? Again, I'm not saying I know what his stance would be. I'm saying that none of us KNOW what he would be like today. But apparently, many fans need to believe that their idol thinks and would think exactly the same way they do. NPG Radio:

SoulAlive said: Why don’t the MAGA folks simply stick to music from Ted Nugent and Kid Rock? those guys wouldn’t had a problem with their songs being used,lolIf you're referring to me too: I'm German. And I was already extremely surprised by Prince's song "America" back in 1985. A patriotic pop song by a major German star would be unthinkable even today. "Germany, Germany - God shed his grace on thee"—something like that would never be played on the radio here; it would fall under the category of far-right. When he played "Peach" at the EMAs in 1994, and Tommy Barbarella's Hammond organ had the American flag attached to it, I just thought to myself: Crazy how much Americans love their country. That kind of thing is foreign to me; we don't grow up with that sort of thing here. From my German perspective, Prince has always seemed rather right-wing to me – and this was confirmed even more with "Rainbow Children" (which I love, but where I'm glad I'm not listening as a native speaker, thus maintaining a greater distance from some of the weird lyrics).
