I don't recall ever saying he was gay. All I was asking was did you think the marriages were real.

The gay comments were sarcastic - it was a joke

And as far as him being happy with Mani.....well looks can be deceiving.


That's one of the most idiotic posts I've read in a while.
If you know something we don't cool - if you don't.....why show your stupidity by opening up a thread and posting that kind of pish?

Prince's wedding was a very low-key affair with no publicity, and even less press coverage. So no, he's not the media whore you'd like to believe.

I think that all of the past relationships that Prince has been involved in have been for publicity purposes only. And his marriages were and are fakes. This is my opinion twocents, and I was just wondering what the rest of you thought.


disbelief I doubt it. Prince don't have problems like MJ..naw his marriages & relationships with his woman were legit. Sure they probably didn't last long..he wuz just sample'n what's out there now he's happy wit Mani. & that's REAL love nod..no publicity purposes whatsoever.

i didn't read any of the responses to this, so i'm hoping this has already been said. but just in case, here goes...






considering the fact that it was about 6 months to a year before we had confirmation that Prince and Mani were married, i'd say no.


then again, that kind of publicity sounds pretty much in line with the rest of Prince's PR machine since about 1998.

I see now that there are alot of touchy people on this subject!
It feels good to know that I have started something that just may get a few of you thinking. So what I said "all" instead of "two" shrug
You know what really gets me is the fact that some of you people take his lyrics as being part of his reality.....but WHO AM I TO JUDGE? hmmm
Maybe You guys are right, and I will take your opinions into consideration.
Until then.....Peace and B wild

The same thing happens to me too. You're not by yourself, but never mind what the touchy people say, say whatever you wanna say no matter what. I do.

To answer your question. No I don't think that his marriages were publicity stunts. I really think that after being a notorious bachelor that he finally was ready to settle down and get married. When he married Mayte he was pushing 40 and Mani he was past 40. I just think he was finally ready for marriage wheas he wasn't before when he was younger.

Thanks for a civilized answer

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD HE NEED A PUBLICITY STUNT??!

not sure anyone said that they believe 'all' lyrical content is factual. but its obvious that some songs are based in reality.

i'm just curious as to why you believe he felt the need to pull a publicity stunt with mayte? its not like he was trying to clean up his image when he was with her. your original post was vague. where did this theory stem from?

as far as mani is concerned, what kind of publicity stunt doesn't get press? he never talks about her, and refuses to. just trying to figure out where you are coming from.

Say he was Gay or doesn't have Sex . I would still Devote my Life to him and his Causes... I would find Enjoyment if I was his in just being CLOSE to Him. That is if he Was Gay and If I was His and if he had a Man who was his Partner well then would he allow me a woman? And well think about this If He Was or Is Gay right he Could stay Christian cause There are Many gay Clergymen so he Wouldn't have to switch to Jehovah Whitness that is CLEARLY Anti_gay so Now Really I Don't Think so..i

Ya want him at his Finess. Ya want HIM to Shine.. You will be his Rock and Support . That is what as a Woman God wants ya to Do.. Ya gotta be the Perfect Wife or You are his perfect Companion. I Hope Mani is That for him. I would she would give him her All and bend over backwards to be Selfless. Remember, Prince is Ya Man....

i think emancipation is the most personal album he's ever recorded - with the rainbow children maybe coming in at a close second. not sayin' they're the BEST, but i do think they're unusually personal. and i especially think the second disc of emancipation is an example of prince putting his life story into his craft in a way that is far more naked than usual. i don't hear a drop of disingenuity on that disc.

I can appreciate your opinion thumbs up!,
But what do you think about this Musiclolgy album. I have read on this site that some people think it is about his current situation(Mani/Mayte). My question would be how is that logical when the material sounds very dated. hmmm. I would really like to know your thoughts on that.

I Miss Prince's days at Nells. He Never partied much but I did see he drink a white Russian once. He basically drinks Coke. I would see his friend's drink but Not Him..
