I hear the reason Prince put's out so many albums, long hours and long tours is his addiction to snorting powder cocaine.I really heard this. Could it be true?

He'd be Sick. I don't Think so.

I get four hours a sleep a night and I ain't never touched the stuff. I've read of many other creative types getting by on as little sleep. I think some are made for it. Also, check out some of the sleep theories -- with a couple 20 minute naps each day, most people can get by on less than 6 hours of sleep a day. It can happen.

Right. I just drink Coffee or Drink Red Bulls and I don't need much sleep. I don't do Drugs.

I've heard lots of things... but, I hesitate to say things that I don't or can't back up with facts.

This is a thread on the verge...

Rumors, especially hurtful ones, do no good to no one.

Gonna give this thread some room to grow... let's see where it goes.

The same place all Prince/drug threads go on the Org...

Coke can keep you up for days. let's hope this rumor is'nt true.

I REALLY DONT THINK PRINCE DOES DRUGS.....BUT

when asked if he did around the time of the Emancipation saga he replied "I am interested and open to all experiences"

That was Pretty Funny. I Am Interested In All EXPERIENCES...Came Off as a YES. Ya Know it's Only Rock N Roll. Still , He's Not Gonna tell his fans All his Business because he gotta keep some stuff Private . Do ya Think he wants Fans actually in his Bed? I don't think he Really wants his Female fans seeing his Private Stuff. I really don't.

Prince isnt on drugs.. I believe he's messed with them before. I think he has kept himself pretty clean for being in the scene he's in.. Of course I dont know his personal life, but my judgements on him is that he dont smoke weed, coke..(im not counting out pills of any sort) i doubt beer/alchohol.. maybe wine.

Who cares, as long as he takes care of himself and doesnt cross the line on that sh*t

The sun set in my heart this evenin'
Cuz an old friend of mine got lost in the jive
Little did she know, when U're stuck in the snow
Nobody gets out alive

I was hanging onto life trying deal with this
playing the games, almost got dismissed
cocaine was the thing that I took on
and nowhere was the place that I was going (preacher, cmon on)
I must tell the truth, I cannot lie
I was headed 4 the kill, steal, destroy, and die
top 2 the bottom 2 bottom 2 top

Some of us don't need that much sleep !I am not on DRUGS!!!I have goals!

Didn't Alex Haun, in his book 'Possessed: The Rise and Fall of Prince', make the allegation that Prince used cocaine for a while? I haven't read the book myself, but that claim is paraphrased in a review for the book. Here's the link...

Regardless, I find it hard to beleive. Ecstasy, now we all know THAT story.

"in uptown, when winter's alarming
cocaine becomes charming"

from the original old friends 4 sale

umm, i find it hilarious when fans say, no way! he doesn't do that!!

fuck, do you people actually know him??? no

all i'm saying is don't speculate on shit you don't know

that being said, good thread to talk about...lol.....(what a contradiction)

i think this should be locked up.. dontcha think?

I haven't heard it...but I think it's instrumental.

I think he may have done it back when. But for 20 years...um I think we'd see some thing that would be a clue besides no sleep. I don't think one can be addicted for that long of time. You'd spin out of control sooner than later...especially if you're addicted.

Certainly he's NOT doing drugs right now. I'd be very shocked if he was.

This rumour is so false. Everyone knows he's been on injectable liquid cocaine for years.

Doubt it. Shit like that ages you, Prince looks ten years younger than he is.
