It depends how you define this, but more than 25.

Are you strictly talking about the bands that he formed to record with or those band members that performed live the music he had largely previously recorded with little collaboration under his own name(s)? Do you also include the horn sections? Dancers? DJs? What about those artists that have performed on and off with him e.g. Najee? Candy Dulfer? Do you include under 'bands of Prince' those performers in bands which he formed as vehicles for his own music: Madhouse? The Family? The Time, even??

The list is considerable and there's an argument to be made for some or all of these (and others too):

Gayle Chapman
Bobby Z
Matt Fink
Andre Cymone
Dez Dickerson
Lisa Coleman
Brownmark
Wendy Melvoin
Miko Weaver
Eric Leeds
Matt Blistan
Wally Safford
Jerome Benton
Greg Brooks
Shiela E
Levi Seacer Jr
Boni Boyer
Cat Glover
Rosie Gaines
Tommy Barbarella
Tony M
Damon Dickson
Kirk Johnson
Michael Bland
Sonny T
Diamond
Pearl
DJ William Graves
Mayte
NPG Hornz / Hornheadz
Estaire Godinez
Kat Dyson
Rhonda Smith
Marva King
Mike Scott
DJ Dudley D
Larry Graham
Geneva
Kip Blackshire
Najee
Renato Neto
Greg Boyer
Maceo Parker
Candy Dulfer

I've ignored members of other bands, and left out his hairdresser, Phillip, who appeared as a keyboard player in Graffiti Bridge (the film)!
