He's a white guy. Am I the only one here who knows the truth?

I've heard the Fillipino mention before, always from my past Fillipino friends/lovers...

I know African-American and Italian are correct.

Who knows?

It could easily be all three.

Brotha definately has some Italiano, though.

Peace,

I've never heard anything other than Prince's parents being both African-American.

Prince said Black, Italian, and some other stuff in an older interview.

Prince is not Phillipino, nor is he Italian.

Prince is just a light-skin black man. I'm sure he has some native american indian in him as most blacks in america do, but other than that Prince is plan black. That Phillipino rumor came about through that Prince wanna-be in England. Come on people.

Black Americans have other blood besides Native American as well. Michael Franti (from Spearhead) is part Black, part Italian... So is Giancarlo Esposito (actor-Do The Right Thing, etc.)

He said the "Black, Italian, and other stuff" comment years ago... like 1979 or 1980, and I think he was telling the truth.

It's no big deal if he's mixed... most Americans are... so just chill. Michael Franti (from Spearhead is part Black part Italian... So is Giancarlo Esposito (actor-Do The Right Thing, etc.)

Ultimately it doesn't matter.

Peace.
