The artist known as Prince has reportedly died, according to credible music industry sources.
“Hearing terrible news from a very inside source that Prince has passed,” Tweeted singer Zach Myers.
Atlanta, you saw Prince's last performance. ?

Authorities have not announced who passed away at Prince’s Paisley Park estate in Minnesota today. But sources say the deceased is the 57-year-old singer, whose real name is Prince Rogers Nelson.
The pilot of Prince’s private jet was force to make an emergency landing when Prince took a turn for the worse in the skies over Illinois early Friday morning. He was briefly hospitalized and released the same day.
Prince is “fine,” a rep told Entertainment Weekly on Friday afternoon.
The singer suffered from flu-like symptoms that forced him to cancel 2 concerts in Atlanta last week.

I’m in denial I need more proof.
OMG! I am lost for words.
RIP Prince, Probably another quack doctor situation.
Man WHY? I be jammin to his music, soon as they told me they had to rush him to a hospital, something just came over my spirits…. like I dont even want to think about it…..
How Sway??
I CANNNOTTT!!! LOGS OFF!!
Just got confirmation from the Huffington Post. There was a blind item earlier this week indicating that Prince had HIV and had joined some religious group that encouraged him to stop taking his meds. Was praying it wasn’t true.
RIP Prince! So sad . . .
Lord have mercy!!! *SNIFF*
Dammmmmmmn Daniel!!!
Uh oh he and Vanity were both 57.
They were just starting their second Saturn Return.
Damn that was quick.
Actually credit goes for once to MTO. They hinted that a huge HUGE black MUSICAL star had AIDS and that it wouldnt be long. As in a few days. And damn if Prince is not dead few days after they said it.
I am sadly thinking Prince probably had a whole medical staff in that house and was on life support or something since the in air medical emerg. happened few days back.
I gotta wait til 130 to leave.
Hold up…hold up!!! We need more people!! Why Lawd??!?!
? Rest in Heaven Prince.
awww lawd…i wont believe this until i see it on cnn..
the not the royal purple highness my god
Say it ain’t so!! This tew much!
Who dies of AIDS in 2016…especially someone with a lot of money?
I’m inconsolable.
Wow in shock. So many legends passing. Comforting prayers to his family. I lost two close family members suddenly last year and it is still a process
WHAT?????????? Oh. My. God. I’m…just…wow. RIP, Purple One. I have enjoyed your music through the years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8BMm6Jn6oU
I too hope this is a rumor/fake.
oh no! one of my first concerts! this cant be true…
RIP.. bless his transition …..
I’M SITTING HERE STUCK.
Someone who stops taking their meds or refuses medical intervention for religious reasons. He was a Jehovah’s Witness.
OMG! I can’t today, no!!!! May Prince R.I.P. Its on ABC News now!!!
Im sitting here on this meeting and it literally sounds like blah blah blah. Im numb out this bish you hear me?
I won’t believe it until authorities confirm it!!!
How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that’s so cold? Maybe I’m just too demanding…… Maybe I’m just like my father, too bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother………..She’s never satisfied……. Why do we scream at each other……….. This is what it sounds like……When doves cry..#SIP Angel… We love you!
What is MTO?
Ah DAMN! R.I.P. to The Purple One! ;-(
TMZ has been known to LIE
I’m just crushed!! I didn’t see him at the Fox a few weeks ago
Mediatakeout
Walked with that cane because he refused to have hip surgery. Shame.
Someone with pneumonia. That’s what I think I was reading a hint at. If they can’t beat that pneumonia..
OMG!!!!
I just started screaming on the phone with my co-worker. Thankfully, she’s black and started screaming back with me. Now, we’re both in tears.
Right…not believing that one
TMZ were the first ones to report Mike and Whitney both as being dead.
Second Saturn return????
See below.
This had better be a hoax.
Me and them doves are crying right now!
The rumor stated that the unnamed Star’s church said he was cured and told him to stop taking the meds :- /
????? RIP PRINCE
Yup. I saw a blind about this on Monday and was hoping it wasn’t Prince
There was a blind item about him not too long ago allegedly about having Hiv/AIDS. Allegedly he got into religion, and stop taking his meds.
Don’t know if this true or not, but sad.
I can’t. I just can’t.
Damn Tammie this pic is everything
I’M JUST HOPING THIS ISN’T TRUE!
Thank you!!!
Yeah, I just read on ABC news that here was a death investigation going on at his estate.
I will not sit at my desk and cry…. I heard the show at the Fox was wonderful. I dam hate I missed that if this is true… say it ain’t so.. this takes a part of childhood with me if it is… the end of an error… now I am crying DAM!
Wow he was a known Jehovah’s Witness
Had to take a walk on some serious shit. I’m over this day. How can my lil nugget die and go on to glory ??
I’m a crying dove.
Media takeout
I read that blind item too and they were saying it was prince and that he would try and make appearances to make people believe he was ok. wow so sad.
@TMC … I saw that too and wracked my brain to figure out who they were talking about … Now we know!! DAMN!
IT’S ON CNN.
I just posted that. Should’ve scrolled down first.
No no no no !!!!!!!!! Enough
RIP
I’m not doing nothing else today…
I loved that man. We go way back ??
This is a big one for us. Whew.
Yes it is.
I really think he wanted to go if he indeed was sick.
I see right now that I’m not going to be able to take some of these posts (some of y’all on that bullshyt), so I’ll just leave my smiling Prince gif and catch y’all after lunch.
“WHEN DOVES CRY” PLAYED AT WALMART LAST WEEK WHEN I HAD MY TIRE FIASCO…AFTER I WAS ALREADY LISTENING TO PURPLE RAIN WHILST CRYING IN THE CAR…I CANNOT!
I can’t even concentrate today. I know the Purple one wouldn’t approve but I need a blunt stat and my wine ??? Lawd whhhhhyyyyyy. I can think of a thousand of others but you chose him Lawd whyyy. Prep a bitch first damn
I’m wondering how long he has had aids
I JUST COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT EITHER! SO SAD!
This is doubly sad, as one of my favorite Aunts was a HUGE, I mean HUGE…..every album, since the 70’s, everything she could get her hands on fan and she introduced all of us, my generation and my kids generation to him. She passed away and now I am sure that she is knocking people over to meet him at the gates. This just makes me think of her and her singing and dancing with us to his songs.
And I am in here with the paper folks, and can’t talk about it!! UGH
Wrong. X17online.com’s photographers were outside Mike’s house and they reported his death first. TMZ didn’t report it until over an hour later.
i jus saw and it has been confirmed on local news that he passed..jesus take the wheel
blind gossip said he had aids…. woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don’t believe.
I’m about to cry… been reading about it and I just don’t wanna believe this.
Lots of people. Cancer and diabetes too.
Im thinking a long, LONG time.
Prince
walks around with a cane, but he may end up in a wheelchair, if he
doesn’t undergo the surgical procedure to get both hips replaced.
But
that may not happen because Prince is a devout Jehovah’s Witness and
followers of that faith don’t believe in blood transfusions, which he
may need during the surgery.
“He’s in a lot of pain. He’s popping pain killers and hoping it will all go away,” a source told The Hollywood Reporter.
According
to that report, Prince has been plagued with this pain since 2005 and
was advised to get one hip replaced back then. But he declined the
surgery. In 2007 and 2008, however, after the situation worsened, he
agreed to a “secret surgery,” but he never followed through.
Now he’s is walking with a diamond-studded cane to keep him upright.

I’m sad y’all.
I’m crying as we speak….NO!
THANK YOU ! PLEASE DON’T , WE NEVER INFORM ANYONE WHAT TO DO WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HEALTH(WE CAN’T,WE DON’T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY). We do however take a stand when I comes to the issue of blood(THIS STAND IS BIBLICAL).
ok so local and cnn news jus confirmed it is prince that passed…jesus take the wheel..i cant deal today first chyna then PRINCE..”you dont have to be rich to be my girl, you dont have to be cruuuell to rule my world” R.I.P Prince..feels like MJ jus passed all over again..geeeez
Harvey not getting sued messing around with reporting false information no matter who reported it first. He is a lawyer by trade. He toes the line, but he aint crossing it.
I’m with you!
Prince had cure money… even poor folks are dying of old age with HIV.. only reason I don’t believe it
I needed this. The visual of you two screaming on the phone gave me a small giggle.
I’m sad??
Don’t care how he died……the man was a legend and a good person and didn’t even get to leave us with a little version of him. Aids, HIV, Pneumonia, Flu……..did NOT take away from the barriers he broke and the good he did while he was here. RIP Roger!!
Hurt, hurt, hurt! I was in attendance for his very last show. #Bittersweet
WHY?????????????? WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO PRINCE???????????????????????
I’m sad. SAD. You all take care. Praying for his loved ones. May he rest in peace. Hugs to all yall. I’m crying.
It’s kind of unbelievable. They probably should’ve kept him in the hospital until he was 100%.
SO PRINCE WAS ALSO A JEHOVAH’S WITNESS…THE QUOTE I READ SAID THAT HE WAS CONVINCED (BY THEM) THAT HE WAS CURED AND STOPPED TAKING HIS MEDS…THAT HE WAS TAKING SINCE THE 90’S…IT WAS NOTHING DOCTORS COULD DO. ALLEGEDLY…
Talk to yall tomorrow. I got work to do.
I just said the same thing to my mother! Like, i STILL haven’t gotten past the MJ trauma and now this! Further confirmation that i need to attend every concert because my favorite artists are dying off.
I had to come to SR to see if it was real. This is one time I hoped you got it wrong
sad. I hope they let his legacy live and not bring up other things
HIV
Im weeping. Like on this call with it on mute. Im done.
my co-worker just came in here, in tears…. I am stunned…
“Good night, sweet Prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
AIDS
Never did I think that what I heard a week or so ago would mean I would arise today and see that Prince is dead. RIP.
When the news alerts start coming through, you know it’s real. That drive home listening to the radio is gonna hurt.
I read the same thing. No words. RIP
He already on the radio here. Said they playing nothing but Prince.
Damn….he’s been suffering. I’m praying he has now found peace.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/27/business/media/27media.html?_r=0
Yeah gonna still have to say no… that’s not a belief Jehovah’s Witnesses would have… They don’t do “faith healing” or anything even near the sort. No miracles, no speaking in tongues, no catching the spirit… His HIV status would have literally nothing to do with the religion
The show at the Fox was amazing!
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=7938705
I’m in shock..
I am in tears not my Prince.. I need a hug, liquor and tissue
He was a Jehovah Witness last time I heard and they wouldn’t recommend such a thing. They say no blood transfusions but medicine is perfectly fine…so I doubt that rumor
I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTED!!!!
It’s an astrological event,hun.
It occurs every 27-29 years and since Saturn is the Lord of Karma it is a time of reaping what you’ve sown.
The first Saturn return is when you grow up and become an adult, and the second is when you’re entering old age and basically you reap whatever you have sown since the first Saturn Return whether it’s physically, emotionally or spiritually.
IF he had the flu he wouldn’t have been released from the hospital, the disease is contagious.
I read a blind item two days ago – checkout mediatakedotcom and blind gossipdot com that it was a deadly disease and he was taking medication and stopped taking it.
I don’t want to say what it was you’ll have to google it.
He didn’t have children, nor was he married….let the fight over the estate begin.
Did Prince have any children other than the one baby who died?
I’m not here for any negative Prince shit.
WOOOOOOOW, NOW I’M REALLY UPSET THAT I DIDN’T GET THE CHANCE TO SEE HIM WHEN CAME FOR THAT FREDDIE GRAY CONCERT…MAY HE REST PEACEFULLY…YET ANOTHER GONE TOO SOON…STUNNED
I know and I’m trying to avoid it but i won’t be able to when I’m driving. I remember when Michael died, they played you are not alone. I just broke down.
Yep. Now let the fight over his estate begin.
I need to take a day off to regroup… this is too much to accept!!!
We appreciate that! You are absolutely correct!
On the phone with my older cousin who introduced me to Prince. We’re crying. I just…
It wasn’t the flu because the hospital won’t release you if it’s the flu. Contagious.
peace be unto you :hugs:
My heart is broken and I feel extremely sad. May this LEGEND Rest In Paradise.
Gahh JW’s don’t believe that…
Let me say this. IF he had AIDS SO THE FLUCK WHAT!!!!!! Prince is a legend. Be respectful.
I’m gone ???. I’m gone font something that can’t be taken back so. I love y’all.
There was a article about him being ill a few days ago. Such a shame! RIP Prince. The Doves are crying!
I knew it was about to start with the celeb postings/quotes about Prince passing! I hate when news sources/blogs do that like celebs are the only ones that grieve the passing of someone argh! I don’t really care what they have to say, I really don’t! Folks make whole blogs posts about it, lawd! #Fail
Oh my Father… this is heartbreaking!!!
THIS!!! ALL OF THIS!!!!
Well said. ?
I would hate for that rumor to be true about him. He is in a better place even though we have lost a wonderful man and an out of this world musician
How do you know? HOW? Bye.
Hmmm interesting. Jehovah Witnesses do have certain believes as it relates to medical treatment. Specifically, blood transfusions. People fail to realize that their is a difference between HIV and AIDS.
In any event, it doesn’t matter why he passed and it really shouldn’t be discussed in my opinion.
Prince for the win! Blouses!!! Rest in Purple Power bruh!!!
THAT’S RIGHT!
I can’t take this shyt seriously I’m crying I loved prince my momma loved prince EVERYONE loved this man I’m sick right now like I can’t wrap my head around this. ? RIP Prince may you rest beside the other legends who have gone before you. I won’t be back today y’all. Good Day ?
happy for you getting to see him :sniffle:
Why lawwwwd just whyyyy couldn’t you take Trump instead?! This doesn’t even feel right!
Hello Sandra pls check this blind
http://blindgossip.com/?p=77843
there, there now…
I’m very, very, very sad. Just watched Purple Rain the other night too. He was my first concert, when I truly became a woman in the sheets with my first love and we still going strong today. This is just wow. May he rest in peace.
Wow. Stunning stuff.
Wish I could just take the rest of the day off.
I didn’t cry or feel this when MJ passed. My heart is heavy. Feel better MOD
Hes jehovah witness…he been in need of a hip replacement but declined as it would require a blood transfusion
RIP Prince…you were the best to ever do it
JWs don’t believe in blood transfusions (or some such nonsense)…
Makes my heart smile that my people on FB are just remembering him. Okay ???
It’s not…
My sister will be NO kinda good…we loss our cat & PRINCE in the same week–I’ll have to find something to REALLY sedate her now…my nephew too for that, with his old soul having self (appreciates classic artist @ 12, LOL)…he took Michael’s death some kinda hard (like he knew him personally).
RIP Sir.
I can’t be here. It is truly like losing family!
He is in a better place but SO young! My momma 57
Whitney was the last one.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have certain beliefs when it comes to blood transfusions… That is it…
But you are correct his manner of death doesn’t need to be discussed.
Peeks back in to see if its true… kills over againt… this can’t be..
Its on CNN.
They dont run stuff like that till they confirm it 100%.
?????
Smiles and tears. Smiles and tears
She’s talking about of HOW.
Yes I know… which has nothing to do with HIV… and it’s not because of they believe their faith will heal them
I have CNN on the screen in front of me.
it’s true.
Michael Jackson and Prince are dead…yet Kanye West still lives? Talk about proof that there is no God…
We are >>>>>HERE<<<<<….So Irritating. (eyeroll)
I’m heartbroken. How are you feeling?
???? I loved him soooooo much. God I can’t take it. Bbl
A shít site made by an African man who purposely misspells words to gain the mono syllabic demographic that works to destroy black greatness.
I’m having heart palpulations.
I love this man. Damn Damn Damn!!!! :cries:
Pats you on the back….It’s gone be alright…*hums when the saints go marching in*
lawd… don’t bring up Nippy now ’cause I WILL be in here with a snotty nose.
Micheal gone, now Prince gone…
It’ll be a generation before we see greatness like that again.
Hasnt been confirmed. Just speculated on. Which…I mean…smdh. Its always speculation. Why Mike had the folks put him under every night. If Whitney or Rick James had drugs in their system. How Teena Marie died in her sleep. Im sad.
not nice.
Our medical issue is one of blood, he would have never been told not to take meds, unless the medicine contained any of the four components of blood. Red blood cells, White blood cells, Platelets, or Plasma. We do not partake of blood or blood fractions.
REST IN PEACE. # crazy
what??? you sound foolish… why wish death fir someone else
Awww….It’s gone be alright…*hums when the saints go marching in*
We will not see it. Not happening.
He was a devout Jehovah, and if you know about that religion, once they get you, they don’t let go. They are relentless.
I wonder who he left his estate to — he didn’t have family. No wife, no kids.
Shows are being interrupted with “BREAKING NEWS”. Every time they say it I’m shocked all over again. I want to ask why but know better than to question HIS actions. ?
The original FDB dude. Not many like him that will say nope not doing it and mean it. True gem. Look out for us brotha in the sky ?
I’m confused by what you’re saying no to.
awww….
I’m not talking if he died, but what he died of
I pray the Lord have mercy on your soul… in JESUS name!!!
Yeah – I know the 2 are not related (HIV and Blood Transfusions). I just want this to not be true. I’m still waiting on the coroner to confirm before I actually believe it.
Thank you !
PRINCE!!!!!!!
This man…I thought he’d be rockin’ out into his old age.
I got to see him in Charlotte a few years back. One of THE BEST TO EVER DO IT! Prince will be missed, loved, admired, respected…
No no. Leave it be.
Soooo when Lil Butter was tested for the flu at the pediatrician’s office, and the test came back negative, his doctor should’ve hospitalized him? FOH!
Bingo
They are SERIOUS with it…my great aunt succumbed to cancer & couldn’t do certain medical options just because of religious purposes…sadly…
57?
That just seems way too young to be dying nowadays.
I was jamming to his music on the radio until I realized that that’s all anyone was playing… that’s when I knew…damn.
alright Keya, don’t go get yourself all stirred up.
I don’t know if its true but let me go check TMZZ or sumin they will have all the scoop! But oh Lawwd I the hope the Purple Rain man ain’t dead!
Rest in Peace …. it has been confirmed… its like I just lost a piece of my heart
You’re right, it could be speculation because I’ve never heard about him having aids. If he did, he intended to take that secret to the grave….just tragic. He had the talent and the common sense. We are not going to be lucky enough to get another
Granny said she always did like that little boy. Made me start crying again.
then BYE! (we don’t need you gone against your will… you already leave us hanging whenever you feel like it, Lol!) :hugs:
Well, I know I wont get much work done the rest of the day.
Hopefully my boss will understand.
Real music with raw talent
I just shed REAL TEARS…this is just sad.
Exactly. Leave idiots alone.
Word is he had HIV since the 90’s. He stopped taking his HIV medication recently because an alternative doctor told him he was cured. That’s why he couldn’t fight off that flu. That’s just the rumor I heard.
We all will have our day! We lost a great legendary icon!
I appreciate the explanation, will definitely look this up.
Aww *hugs* it’s surreal.
That’s not a rumor
White people are saddened by this too!!!!!!! They are in shock here at work.
Too soon?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXRjaLR2L3o
I’m lost for words
I really don’t feel like laughing at you today… why lawd… lol
the people who got to see him perform on 4/16 are very very lucky to see him perform for the last time..something about when these artists push themselves to still perform or tour at old age , they’re passing away..its like its toooo strenuous for them or something
OMG Keya Thanks for saying that. WTF does it matter? I am truly heartbroken
GUUUURRRL..THEE WORST, SITTING HERE NOW WITH MY MOM & THINKING I SHOULD GIVE HIM AN EARLY DISMAL…HE MIGHT NOT EVEN WANT TO GO TO BASEBALL PRACTICE (whispersss…THAT’S COOL TOO, WHEN YOU’RE OFF FROM WORK & COULD FIND OTHER THINGS TO DO, LOL)
Right! I do not fuggin care how he died!!!
ROAR ?
True.
Nothing reminds you of your own mortality more than to see a living legend pass away all of a sudden.
I know you are fan of doing the education… JW’s get surgery, doctors have been performing bloodless surgeries for decades, they also have procedures where they recycle your own blood so it can be used during surgery. The fear of needing a blood transfusion during a surgery would not be a problem that warranted complete refusal of surgery.
Aaww…
lawd Wut… try to be skrong Shug :hugs:
I can get stirred up for her. Why folks care how he died -that doesn’t even sound right. TackE
He’s gone.
When I was in nursing school in Miami, I worked at in an ICU when a young patient who had just delivered a baby girl was admitted. She was severely anemic after losing too much blood during childhood. Her husband, who was Jehovah’s Witness, refused to allow doctors to transfuse her with 1 pint of blood. The hospital even went to court, but the judge said no, citing religious rights. The husband brought the couple’s other daughter to visit her dying mom. He watched her die slowly over the course of 2 weeks. I studied his face and I saw no remorse. The ICU nurses pretty much snubbed him when he visited his wife.
(hate you and your song selection) :sniffle:
LMAO!
ok.
gotcha.
I’m blown away I need to go home. I can’t work
I attended his concert in 1998 and baby u know we partied like it was 1999…that was the encore it was EPIC
coworker just came in the breakroom and told me. this saddens me. i’m sad. and i just introduced to prince’s “soft & wet” the other day.
RIP to Prince – there will never be another one like him. EVER.
MTO posted a blind item about an R&B Singer who was reportedly not doing well at all…. was this the answer to their story?
This month has been too much for me, I mean first I lost my mother at the beginning of this month, now I lost one of my favorite artist…I am speechless…
Cannot believe it RIP!
Ok CNN reported as well
PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KNOW AND IT WILL BE DISCUSSED. MY HEART HURTS FOR THIS MAN, BUT I CHOOSE THE TRUTH AS OPPOSED TO SOME BS. THAT’S ALL.
Prince just did a concert in Atlanta last week too, and a friend of mine said it was the best concert she’d ever been to.
That’s got to be kinda bittersweet now, knowing it was the last time he ever performed in public.
Mediatakout said it first!
I’M MARRIED INTO A FAMILY OF THEM…BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR.
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
peace be unto you :hugs:
My condolences hun!
You can’t make a hateful person not be hateful. That type of hate comes from within.
I’m trying to make it through the day. But I don’t know if I can.
So did I
Naw Prince loved this skit!!! BLOUSES!!
this man was seriously exploisve talent! “Just listened to I will Die for you” and it made me go off like it jus got debuted…R.I.P the true PRINCE!

I am in shock, RIP Prince, such an unmatchable original talent! So sad.

You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
‘Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You’re on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy
Lol!
My condolences on your loss.
Sad and Im sorry babes. Along with HIV/AIDS comes a variety of cancers, liver diseases etc that could require a blood transfusion. And sadly Pts with HIV and hep have a high level of liver cancer.
I’m sorry love.
I was on my way to the gym. I’m not in the mood anymore. More of a cookies, ice cream and wine type of vibe right now.
I’m sad.
Yeap I see it now every where! RIP Prince
Being a Jehovah witness has nothing to do with stopping your meds. I know because I am a witness and they do not tell you what to do with your medical health…
GAME…BLOUSES!
Legends MJ and Whitney brought me to my knees when they passed, mourned for weeks like I knew them personally as family members, blame it on the timeless gift that is their music. Prince is no different, what a devastating loss. Feels like an era just died, can’t explain. My goodness, I pray he went in his sleep.
RIP
I just put on CNN just to see what’s going on out in the world. Wasnt expecting to see something like this. Pretty stunning.
Now I see why some people dont even like turning on the news.
I CARE BECAUSE I’VE SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE…AND LIKE KEYA SAID EARLIER I JUST KNOW IT WASN’T THE FLU. THAT’S ALL…DESPITE ALL THAT I’M STILL SPEECHLESS.
??
I respect other folks’ right to their beliefs, but I swear this just gave me a cold chill, smh
Lol! Thanks for the laugh love.
Praying for you in this trying time. So sorry for your loss.
Lutha’s bday was yesterday too. Now that you mentioned it.
Extreme jealousy
:hugs:
Thank You!!
Waiting for the Corner to come through, until then he is alive.
My soul hurts. Another legend has left us…
I’m not yelling at you friend. That was to the others posting stuff that don’t even usually post on her.
Thanks so much
I appreciate it thanks
And you ALL CAPPED me ??
Thanks
When I saw him in concert years ago, it was the best concert I had seen EVER!! This is one death I am taking hard!!
Thank You
So you’re going to use, the I have a black friend reference…
Are you one? Have you ever studied? I am telling you what is absolutely their beliefs and feel free to pop over to JW dot org to confirm everything I am saying…
For someone being “married into a family of them” that is a very loose connection for you to be confirming what they believe..
You are wrong (or the random person who posted this original gossip), JW would not convince him he was cured.. that is just nothing something they do.
Amen, thanks!
Thank You
It’s ah Potty going up up there shoot!!! ????????
Huffington Post is streaming live video outside of his studio
I WENT BACK AND FOUND THE ARTICLE TOO…MAN. THIS IS A HEAVY DAY…
Thanks!
Luther #soamazing
Damn. Closing my eyes, I see them throwing Luther a party in heaven. Whitney’s singing and Michael is the host with all of the late, great musicians/entertainers we lost over the years. So emotional bc Prince was like one of the last GOATs left…so so sad.
My mother just called me and told me 15 minutes ago and told me to “Sit down baby girl I have to tell you something…” That’s how much we Love Prince Rogers Nelson. Too soon.
Me too! I was just on the phone a few minutes ago telling someone that I had a bad feeling when he was rushed to the ER the other day.
Lol different even realize I’d typed no… I’d already upvoted my agreement
so rude…
<——DEVASTATED
So wait – he still warm? Oh No!
Let me say this. Prince was legendary. The man was genius. Thank you God for blessing us with his work. We are lucky to have experienced his awesomeness. That man what true to himself. Authentic. Wasn’t afraid to be who he was regardless of critics. Not just a musical but cultural icon. So I’m going to focus on the positives because I believe no one goes before their time. His artistry will live on.
RIP ole Purple one! Will never be another like him!
I’m beyond sick! I remember when Prince first came out. We lost a genius, a phenom, and one in a million artists.
RIIIIGHHT…cried something terrible on 4/20…STILL can’t believe he’s GONE! Would have LOOOOVED to see him on a stage…
You know, it’s a cycle of life nobody lives forever.
OMG…I cant breathe….I’m in shock????
This is why I fuggs with this man…

His religion would have nothing to do with his alleged HIV status. The only medical treatment they have any objections to are blood transfusions, and there are even concessions to that a person can make with regards to what parts of blood they will accept, there are also other alternatives modern science has come up with.
I was about to font how he lived authentically.
And to think that Vanity died 2 months ago too, also at 57.
Its like the end of an era, in a way.
I don’t think this is a hoax. Major networks and serious blogs are reporting this about the legend. Godspeed Prince.
I WAS EXTRA SURPRISED WITH A MGR HERE WAS FLAT OUT SHOCKED! IT MADE ME HURT A LITTLE MORE BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT HE DON’T LIKE US’S…BUT WHEN I SAID PRINCE HE WAS LIKE “WHAT??!!”
My mother in law needs surg. right now and is a JW for all her years. I have talked about it here recently. Certain surg. cant be done bloodless. Due to negative reactions to drugs before hand, and other underlying conditions. In her case a lot of conditions. We just dont know about folks medical status.
no-no… I won’t let you waste font on ‘that’
Nope only blood.
Go to the gym. Then eat the cookies. Prince would have told you the same I do believe.
Are people already lined up with flowers and signs?
Media takeout claimed he had AIDS and was not on his meds for a while bc he thought he was cured
HE WOULD’VE MADE HER PANCAKES LIKE ON NEW GIRL…OR WAS IT WAFFLES? MIND ALL OVER THE PLACE
How could i forget his song Beautiful Ones?! Mariah and Sisqo redid it back in the day. That song is powerful!
Getting more emotional by the minute
I said or. Or. Or. We dont know.
That side eye though!
He knew he was ill, when he went to that Golden State Warriors game.
I was just watching a documentary on all his unreleased music archived in his vault…
Hollers Noooooo
I STAND WITH YA, ON EVERYTHANNNG…Not to mention he owned on his OWN ISH–screw the “uppers”…
The Latina and the Native American told me, and I was like ‘Prince who, cause No’.
I think it’s just to show the fans paying tribute, not to see the body
Need proof. I cant
Well said
My son was 9 when MJ died. He went in his room and cried like his soul hurt…Lord now this one…I have to prepare before he gets home from school.
you gonna be sick and pooping
Did she say he looked bad or old?
OMG! Sorry for your loss.
Beautiful ones is one of my favorites. Mariah and Dru Hill’s rendition is the truth.
Omg my dream was to see prince perform, live ….???
I’m going. Just ruined my mood. The vibe is with cookies and such but my progress is with the gym.
Nuh uh. ?
Yes, but they don’t tell you to abstain from blood. It’s all from a spiritual stand point. Alas they still DON’T or TELL you, you can’t.
This is too much… RIP Prince
awww, these babies appreciate real musical talent
HE SED “ANYBODY WHO TRIES TO PLAY ME, PLAYS THEMSELVES!”
MICROPHONE ON? CHECK. NON-SAMPLED TRACKS? CHECK. “I’M A MUSICIAN!” :NUN: <<< HIM NOT ME
I could go for pancakes. Even a trip to ihop?
The BET awards better be LIT this year! They got e-nuff damn time to prepare and bet not one mic, light bulb, prop, or key grip go out!
This feels so unreal! I have been a fan since I was 3 years old. I would always tell people, that I am never star stricken, however if Prince was to be in my presence I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I loved him so much and I am deeply saddened. The only thing keeping me ok is that realization that it will be my moms first heavenly birthday and now he will be among her in the heavenly kingdom! Rest in Paradise to the Most Beautiful One! Love Candance K.
He didn’t have family – no wife, no children. I think he had a sister. I wonder who his estate goes to — God, please not the JWs.
IT’S APRIL…I REALLY HOPE THEY DO IT RIGHT.
An APPRECIATION of the GREATS…AT A YOUNG AGE–JUST GREAT THAT SOME YOUNGERS GET IT!
RIP Prince Roger Nelson???
MY FACE IS JUST LONG AF RIGHT NOW…DON’T EVEN WANNA TRY TO PICK IT UP
(is going to be) My wedding song. So amazing to be loved…*swoons*
Don’t know why but those lyrics just did something to me….
I was just thinking about this. They better give me life through that damn screen.
NOOOOOOOOO!
I mean we know everyone has to die at some point but its a harsh reality we have to grasp
My same thoughts, too…GREAT TALENT
blessings @Candance :hugs:
“We worked this country from shore to shore.
Our women cooked all of your food and washed all your clothes.
We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel
Worked our hands down to the bone at your lumber mill.
Tell me
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done.”
I guess Vanity got HER man back. RIP to the classic couple
I know. Their version still gives me chills. Used to have it on repeat. The greats are dying and we will soon be left with only the $hitty artists.
I just want to go back to the 90’s when music was good, Bruce Jenner was a man and Tupac was “still alive”
chile!!!
Another angel to watch over you
Why would he feel remorse for standing up for his beliefs? When you believe death is permanent I can see why you’d be sad or upset with him. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe that. understand where someone is coming from and maybe you won’t be judgmental. If at the end of the time if he is right, he’ll being hugging his baby and feeling sorry for you because you missed out by not taking the time to learn something.
I don’t knock anyone’s faith, beliefs (except scientology lol) just because I don’t understand or agree.
Kinda reminds you of Rick James and Tina Marie.
Seriously?!? I’m all discombobulated smh
I wish I could upvote twice!
I think I’m in shock
Yup. This will be a death felt round the world
whoa! that’s some coincidence, smh
Girl, I got a who?? I swear to Black Jesus I wanted to shank the bitch!! Really?? REALLY??
I never watch award shows live but THIS 1 I want to be front and center and on my feet????
Everything is doing something to me right now. The end of an era
I’m googling this. Interesting.
Ain’t it tho! The shat
What a heartwarming thought!
U said it chile
If he had no will his sister But she’s an addict so I’m sure he had a will.
Condolences to you & your family
I know right, it’s like “Prince as in “our Prince?” :-((
my mother in law is bleeding internally. Currently. As in right now. Due to complications from a hernia removal. They cannot recycle her blood during a procedure or take any of her blood for a transfusion using her own bc she has diabetes (poor circulation) and a host of other reasons. Right now they are waiting for hopefully meds to kick in to stop her hemorrhaging. My father in law has said absolutely not to a transfusion. She has too. All of the kids including my ex husband are there, do not practice the religion and are distraught but are respecting their parents wishes. She has been in the hospital for the past 4.5 weeks.
You are the second person I thought about!
I’m sorry babe!
Real spill
No, he actually looked good and sounded good.
The only red-flag was that that was a make-up date for the concert. The original concert was a few days earlier but it got postponed because of an unexpected illness. But by the time the concert went down, he seemed fine.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (gif)
Fawk ! It is true lawd
Me too Low Low….I’m still in shock
Sorry if I offended and you are in fact JW. Or anyone here who is one. I have indeed studied, my mother did too long ago, and I too married into a family of them.
Another Great sorely missed Sip Prince Great Ascending Ralute
Don’t forget NO bullish drama on who will sang what, NO fights amongst the crowd–wellll that’s the Hip-Hop Awards, so never mind…but at least be like Rodney King (see pic)…was ALREADY hoping they would give Ms. Natalie a TRUE HONOR & NOT a damn video snippet…
and they’ve started pulling whats left of his music online
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!!!
*sigh*
I already knew that was gonna happen. I recall during the whole Napster era NONE of his stuff was available for free. NONE of it.
I will pay. True fans will pay.
What you mean? Like bootlegged stuff?
Me too. I instantly felt sick to my stomach
Every time I see a picture of him, I just start crying again. RIP Purple One…I may not be able to listen to your music right now, but tomorrow Im blasting everything that you’ve created and I Thank God that I was able to witness the greatness that you are. Rest On and Rock On…
I know In my heart of hearts Prince loved their version. He may not have said but I know he did.
Poor Maytaye (sp) she never got over him…
Long as they keep Trey Songz off the mic…..he ruined Prince’s song during the last tribute.
Someone do a wellness check on Maytag. Cause I know she is done. I would be.
I miss the 90s
Outside his home & studio in Minneapolis already…
Ugh I was a mess then too. This one hurts just as much. And Michael…
I used them below in re to speculation of death. Yes. Just like them.
I hate that you said Maytag, but I need that giggle
She was selling her wedding China not too long ago
Yall should see the Huff Po webpages… so rude…
That is true. But there is the option of using the machine to hold her blood if her conscience allows her to take that route. I hope you’re okay… I know whatever choice she has made she is at peace with it and her faith. It’s hard on family members that don’t understand or share the faith than it is on the patient.
THIS WAS IN NOVEMBER…I GOT THE CD AND A DIGITAL COPY FOR THIS PRICE.
JUST CHECKED THE NEW PRICE – $6.27
A TRUE TURN UP…THEE GREATESS OF THE GREATS, JUST CRAZY…
Did Prince have AIDS? Anytime I hear a bisexual man having flu systems I get skeptical.
Lol, i dang near fell out my chair reading ‘maytag’ but it stopped my tears about prince for a few minutes. <3
Thanks Sis.
yes, sad but true…
Michael, Whitney, Luther and Prince about to give them the concert of their after lives!!
James Brown SAT this one out bruh . .
…
I needed this laugh so much!
I legit snorted water !!
THIS! Because you know those other award shows won’t. I’m going to need Mariah and Dru Hill to sing Beautiful Ones.
:HUGS: TEW MUCH FOR A THURSDAY!!! UGGGGGH
Doing one now…
The key phrase here is “the kids are respecting their parents wishes.’ My mother was a Jehovah Witness until the day she died and although I am not, I tried to respect her and her beliefs in life and again in death. There were some comments made I’m sure about her service but I can honestly say I think I made her proud that day because I did things the way she would have wanted, not any one else. My prayers go out to your Mil and your family. Please don’t laugh but my mother ALWAYS would say “Trust in Jehovah” and I do believe sometimes that’s all you can do.
NOW SEE!!! @ Maytag LMAO!
Stephanie who? :lip tremba:
I just said on here yesterday they are catching HELL. The ONE sister out of 6 sibs total keeps them together and she has quit her job to be the mama caregiver etc. Take care of their dad. My ex husband for all intents and purposes is there until further notice. Has taken STD from his job.
THAT DAMN YODELING OR WHATEVER THAT WAS, LOL…I’M SAYING, REALLY TREY? ALL THE PRACTICE & THIS WHAT YOUCHA GOT? Maybe Anthony Hamilton (saw a video of footballer Earl Thomas wedding) & he DID GREAT…
Ya’ll just said fawk that new post huh? We talking about Prince tuhday.
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED JAMES…YOU CAN GET THE NEXT SET
Not my Mills honey
I yelled!
When he cancelled that last concert, I was thinking to myself that’s strange, a red flag.
His Superbowl performance in the rain… You know he wasn’t cancelling unless something was really wrong.
Nothing from her yet. Social media silence.
THIS ONE HURTS SOMETHING SERIOUS
LOL…MAYTAG & she loss the baby…POOR HER :(…LORD BE WITH HER…
“Albums still matter, like books and Black lives.”-Prince
Sorry ! I took from my FB. A Alto from my church choir, I’ll edit
I see Vanilla Ice can’t spell…
Awww man this is sad! RIP ??
Hugs Jenie!
Sorry for your loss. :hugs:
NO REFERENCES…I KNOW WHAT I KNOW. IT’S APART OF MY STORM RIGHT NOW…I NEVER SPEAK ON SHIT THAT I’M UNSURE ABOUT. ET AL. YOU’RE FREE TO THROW THE WEBSITE AND WHATNOT AT ME, BUT THE WEBSITE CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT THEIR MEMBERS ARE DOING EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. PERIOD POINT BLANK. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, I HIGHLY DOUBT YOU’D BE BEDSIDE WITH SOMEONE GETTING A TRANSFUSION OF SORTS. I HAVE SEEN IT…ONLY WHEN IT’S CONVENIENT IS HOW SOME TRULY BEHAVE. PERIOD. AND THAT’S ALL I’M SAYING.
lawd, this just tickled me in the most involuntary way. 1-at myself for finna act a fool thinking it was Stephanie Mills, and 2-at your “i’ll edit” …lawd, I got tears!
My condolences love
I’m not offended.. i know your HORT and you know mine! I don’t know if he had AIDS/HIV or a papercut. He might have believed he was cured (Magic does lol) maybe he was refusing treatment of some kind but all I am saying was that it would have nothing to do with his being a Jehovah’s Witness made him believe he was cured.
If you’ve studied then you know the basic hope of Jehovah’s Witnesses is not heavenly but earthly with no sickness, sin, or death. Some people with chronic illness may choose to refuse treatment because they are tired of fighting what is a losing battle so they choose palliative care. If someone was Catholic and made that choice no one would say “they refused treatment because the Virgin Mary said they were cured”. If he had the hope of the resurrection maybe he said I’m willing to wait for that. I don’t know it’s all speculation.
The retelling of events to the eventual posting on a chat forum would most likely leave out a lot of the timeline and true events which has led to snippet of “He was JW and they told him he could stop”.
(RIP to the choir member though)
GIMME HUG! I STILL LUH YOU! IT’S SOME STUFF THAT STRIKES A NERVE…JW IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS. IT’S AFFECTING SO MANY PARTS OF MY LIFE RIGHT NOW AND I AIN’T EVEN AFFILIATED. JUST A DAMN BYSTANDER IN THE CROSSFIRE.
girll! I was bout to set it OFF.
I KNEW THAT! YOU KNOW THE LITTLE LIGHT ON MY CAPS LOCK IS FOREVER ON…JUST SPEAKING MY PIECE
Right…Prince’s face was priceless thoooouughhh!!
There’s already been a musician from Australia, who supposedly has been working on Michael Jackson and Prince like 80s hits.
Don’t get mad at me for this:
https://youtube.com/?reload=2&rdm=1znt3n1un#/watch?v=pO6kEvIY4Tk
Make sure I get an e-invite.
When I tell you I’m trying not to cry… this man and his music has touched so many people. That was one pretty little man, man!!!!!!!
I’m glad we can make this easier,
Dub made me snort in this post !
“Some” folks are going to always be doing something to the left… but don’t put what “some” are doing on an entire group of people. What your JW family members are doing doesn’t matter to what the Organization as a whole believes. The website tells you what they believe, what they teach, and what they value, if “some” folks act differently then that’s “some folks” but you use that to then say that’s what JWs do/believe…That’s all I’m saying
????
Like when MJ passed, I am in shock and can’t stop crying.
Be strong
right. a little laughter is good for the soul, especially on such a sad occasion. I suspect that Prince had a wicked sense of humor (which -in my Phaedra voice- everybody knows is a sign of true intelligence.
I’ll send it when I send it to the husband. Because so far the only ppl that are going to be in attendance are me, my daughter, my mama and the pastor.
Jehovah’s Witness stuff?
Like no other
I know…
He was calling out for help in a way. However he wasn’t the type to ask for help, but he was kind of letting us know he was sick for sure.
I just hope he is treated with respect. Unlike James Brown… I don’t even want to go into it now. Just treat him right, no funny business.
R. I. P…………..Prince Rogers Nelson……………
Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Prince.. all dead within a 7 year time-period.
That is crazy to me. Those were 3 living legends.
I look back and cant find it.
THE PURPLE ONE……………
Blind Gos just took the story down. “BG NOTE: WE ARE WORKING ON UPDATING THIS BLIND ITEM.”
My mom always talks about how she would see him around town when he was filming Purple Rain. This one hurts ?
This week has saw three loses: Doris Roberts, Chyna, now Prince. Poor Chyna’s death will get overshadowed now. Logging off now to call my ex-hubby, he thought the movie Purple Rain was about his life…….Good day yall!
Love this…
Don’t y’all do this to me today.
Please.
Whenever they (whoever it may be) decide to do a tribute to Prince, I would love to see/hear Maxwell sing his songs. He has that falsetto voice and can hit those notes. I believe he would do Prince justice.
Not true.
MIchael, Whitney, and now Prince in less than 10 years we loss three comer stones of Black music
ABOUT 3-5 DAYS AGO…IT’S RIGHT UNDERNEATH A BLACK FONTED ARTICLE. UNLESS THEY TOOK IT DOWN.
Oh hell no say it ain’t soooooo
Farewell to one of the greatest, so unique!
RIP ? always love the purple one!
Enlighten them..
YES INDEED…MY GRANDFATHER DABBLED…LEFT MY GRANDMA AND MARRIED SOMEONE HE MET AT THE HALL. AFTER HE DIED – SHE WENT RIGHT ON TO THE NEXT. MY GRANDMA HELPED HIM REPENT ON HIS DEATH BED…SO THIS “PLACE” AND THESE TYPES OF “PEOPLE” ARE REARING THEIR HEADS AGAIN IN MY LIFE IN AN ALL TOO UNPLEASANT WAY. AT FIRST I WAS INTRIGUED, BUT THEN I LEARNED A LITTLE MORE. DOESN’T SOUND GODLY TO ME AT ALL.
I’M CURIOUS TO KNOW THE HEAD COUNT AT THEIR LAST NATIONAL CONVENTION…IF IT WAS MORE THAT 144,000 THEN THEY GET AN EVEN BIGGER SIDE EYE FROM ME.
BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. IT’S THEIR VERSION OF THE TRUTH…THERE IS AN ORDER TO IT, YES, BUT BETWEEN MY OWN FAMILY AND THE ONE I HAVE MARRIED INTO – MOST OF IT’S BS AND KOOL AID. AND THAT’S JUST HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT.
PEOPLE SHUN THEIR OWN KIDS FOR THIS MESS…THAT’S NOT GODLY.
That’s the rumor. HIV though
AND yall better not fukk his hair up!! #casketsharb
I can’t even see the tears are just falling.
At my job too. Just had a 30 minute conversation with the heads of my department about this. We followed it up by viewing his 2007 super bowl half time show. The white folks loved him too
So much for actual news and informaiton. All of these “celebrity” tweets instead.
1. Tweets are stupid.
2. Twits are stupid.
3. I don’t know who 98% of these “celebrities” are.
4. I don’t care who 99% of these “celebrities” are.
5. R.I.P. Prince. Nothing Compares 2 U.
1958-2016 R.I.P.
Rest In Power.
David Bowie was recently celebrated big time.
Ok I understand where you’re coming from
And so young too.
Ages 50,50 and 57.
Way too young to be dying.
GMAFB.
if they don’t take the meds they will within a 2 year period . maj johnson takes his right on time every day. knew a guy had it years ago he got tired of taking it he did join the church and lived 2 and a half years
You can store your own blood before an operation. Problem solved. Rumors negated.
My feelins are so hurt right now
AND THERE’S MORE…THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING HONEY
I was on there looking for the update a couple of hours ago. I wonder what additional info they will provide
He will be missed….may he RIP
1990″s vanity had it in a book but he sued to stop her she told all she knew. i think it is more to it also as for as his dealing with record companys hope hea hit was not put out on him. he is resting with our father
Prince was no spring chicken. He wasn’t old but he wasn’t young. Young and old are most vulnerable both to pneumonia and influenza. And if you’re a workaholic and don’t take care of yourself, you really can work yourself to death.
All the rumor mongering on here is so stupid and disrespectful. We don’t know what he died of. All the possibilities are on the table. Ignorant people clamoring to exclaim it was one thing or another which killed Prince should try having things like that said about their mother or brother or sister and see how they like it.
No doubt Prince was a weird guy, but geniuses usually are. He was still a person. His talent and energy and individuality will be missed from here on. R.I.P.
Me too. All these new artists using 90’s beats are making me feel old though.
He loved beautiful women. I want to see how and whom of his ex’s this will affect the most. I don’t wanna hear or read no dirt on this man at all. Thank you Prince for sharing your gift with the world. Rest in peace.
I’m devastated.. I can’t concentrate. I’m at work all fucked up..

Prince was no spring chicken. He wasn’t old but he wasn’t young. Young and old are most vulnerable both to pneumonia and influenza. And if you’re a workaholic and don’t take care of yourself, you really can work yourself to death. Supposedly 40,000 people die from influenza each year.
No doubt Prince was a weird guy, but geniuses usually are. He was still a person, and none of us know what was really going on with him at this time. I do know that his talent and energy and individuality and pancakes will be missed from here on. R.I.P.
My Mom called and told me too!
Thank you! No one has any kind of home training nowadays.
none were making any money are songs out so they signed their life away this is what happens signing with the devil they sold their soul for the riches that they have
I just can’t believe this one…not Prince.
I’m wearing purple right now in his honor ?
I am in freaking shock
So done with this day. First Joanie, now THE PURPLE ONE!!!!!!!! Why? Who is next. It always comes in 3’s.
May he R.I.P
I am speechless… I will wait though for the authopsy and pics…
This can’t be real
What is left of my geneeration?? ???
Harvey still has his license? Thought he lost it and that’s why he does TMZ now?
Waiting for my sister to get off work. Poor thing is gonna be broken hearted.
SMH…Folks ALREADY talking about Prince had AIDS/HIV, didn’t take his meds..blah blah blah…can the man’s body get cold FIRST???? Will any of that ignorant speculation bring him back to life????
I mean dayum…show some respect.
#ignuntfockers
#FOH
His Royal Badness (gif)
How would you know what his feelings were? Do you know how many diseases you can catch through others blood? His wife’s dying is one thing and I’m sure he loved her dearly.
Her not taking blood was her choice and he backed her up. Stop assuming you and the nursing staff know how him and his family should feel.
Me too Jabba.
I promise I feel like a good friend has died.
I thought Prince would live forevah.
So sad… I loved his music, he will be missed. .For those who said Prince is in heaven, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses….he believed, correctly that when you die no part of you lives on, you are asleep, living in GOD’s memory and your life will be restored during the resurrection. All who died will be restored to a paradise earth cleansed of the wicked. Living in the conditions, that GOD intended for Adam and Eve…As a former Jehovah’s Witnesses(JW), I believe this as well;however the JW and all religions are false satanic traps…Get out of ALL religions, GOD does need or use religion to lead his sheep, we do not need religion for salvation for GOD’s approval..
May Prince RIP…. ?
this is the internet , hunny everything come out, see gif…
No he has no kids besides the one that passed.
Lord, I wished this wasn’t true. Purple Rain changed my life! #RIPPrince
There’s $300 Million for someone. He may have left it to his church.
I’m shocked. Devastated.. Just can’t believe it :o(
Ooh…I didn’t know that. I pray they don’t get his music rights. That would be a waste of his past 20 years.
It was his money so he can leave it to whom ever he wants to.? He has no need for it now.
???? this is sooooooo sad
Marching 100 looked goodt with this icon in the rain. Bears lost!!!
I hate it to be honest with you.
He’s one of them no surprise there.
Maaann, me too..I felt the same way for MJ, and Bernie Mac
So we’re going to to pretend he didn’t die from AIDS? Okay.
We really dont care.
I have no words. So numb. In great disbelief. Need to go cry.
thank you much needed! lost my dad and a best friend. Two amazing people I loved dearly …..
The out-pour of love for this man called Prince, goes to show how much music influences our lives. The good vibes. The good times we reflect on, even the hurt times where music get’s us through. Prince’s music did all of this! He created a great memorabilia for us all. Job well done, Prince. May you rest.
wouldn’t make the news less devastating.
Yes!!! exactly, that’s what I was saying..
They are beginning to release information about his demise… found unresponsive in the elevator, CPR didn’t help and things are under investigation.
Actually they aren’t shunned and it is “godly”, 1 Cor 1:1-5
And as you know from the crazy family members you are apparently dealing with, sometimes someone being family don’t mean you need to be around them and their mess.
PS. I’m not trying to change your mind, offended, or anything… I just like talking back and forth
*fist bump*
Sidebar – but why does this picture on MSN of the wrestler Chyna look a tad bit like Lisaraye #imjustsaying…
In truth Genius can often be a Curse, for the Gifted. In Entertainment , just the brutal nature of Business side, Remember Princes protest when he wrote Slave on his Face. And Michael Jackson and his Label protest and standoff as well.
Feeling trapped, and enslaved and like a circus exhibit can have a deadly toll, History shows us the artist looks for escape,the Method of Escapism , or Choice of Poisen over the years has destructive effects mentally and physically.
The fans, exspecially the fans of Artist who truly just love to perform, who truly live for sharing their gifts, are the last know, and the most devistated.
Thanks for Sharing your Gifts with the World Prince.

AND WE RESPECTFUL WITH IT! WE HERE
Lol, that’s cold. I’m only laughing because it’s you.
I was waiting for someone from the Bible Belt to say he was straight, therefore ruling that out. #Kona
ANOTHER ISSUE – MY SPOUSE SENT ME SCRIPTURES FROM THE NEW WORLD TRANSLATION… EVEN WHEN I COMPARED IT WITH THE NIV BIBLE, IT SAID NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME THING…I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT
The same people he touched and influenced… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/52936cfa389272febc219b53b22b06054d3b86b16d233a6be4ca10a146f773f4.gif
Chris Brown
Who’s is next.

No one on that level of musicianship.
He said I’m going out natural, like I came…
Long Time Lurker is that you? Such a pleasure to see you posting.
Omg I literally just heard this news seconds ago. I cannot even believe it. Prince was literally the SOUND of music for me. I knew something was suspect the other day when he had that emergency landing. I never bought that flu excuse..so whatchu saying is drugs/alcohol wore him down ?..snow what about his music being exclusively on Tidal…how’s that gonna work?
White dude on the job here making sarcastic Prince comments.
He should know better.
#respect
trip that mothereffer
he is not her generation dammit.
we already had one in Bowie.

yeah me too!
thanksssssss so much!!!!!!!! <3
Well more info is coming from TMZ. Seems he was a regular at Walgreens and the last time he was there the clerks were concerned about his fail look.
I’m sad that you were JUST introduced to Soft And Wet cause that has been the JAM!!! Oh well better late than never!
We don’t care what he died from. Matter of fact let me just speak for me. I could care less if that is what he died from. Prince is a legend and it does not make his death any less sad or painful for people. Prince was a class act, IMO and I won’t make jokes about his death.
People are just igronant as hell. If the man did die from AIDS then what? *waits with snacks on an answer*
Yes , just passing through. Thanks for the pleasant Greeting. His Tidal deal will fall into the hands of his Estate Affairs. He did not have Tradtional beliefs when it came to Medical Issues, Medical Treatment, or even Life and Death. I do know he dealt with alot of Pain from Decades of Very Private Medical Issues, and that eventually he did relent to taking pain medication.
I would not be surprised if he has No Traditional Will or No Will at all. He has tons and tons of unreleased music spanning decades. His Music Catologe and the Unrealeased Music already has legal paper work flying because of its value and rising value it will need to be secured in a safe place due the sudden death and those who may have access to it in the home. I exspect Major Legal Drama to unfold regarding its Ownership

It’s not that serious people die everyday. I’m a die hard Whitney fan , so I get it. He may have been a legend but I’m not going to pretend he wasn’t pitching and catching . To bad it cost him his life, money can fix a lot but not your health.
What makes you accept the NIV translation versus NWT?
And I’ve compared, NIV to NWT to KJ.. They were all pretty similar, its mainly application I have found to be the difference rather than wording. I also chose to studied Greek and Latin in HS so I’ve read original passages of New Testament and found translations to be accurate. Now I’m not fluent lol but I picked things out
Go to hell.
Realized I quoted cited incorrect scripture btw 1 Corinthians FIVE: 1-5 is the scriptural basis for “shunning”
It just really hit me watching Purple Rain on VH1 Remembers Prince 1958-2016….
-I don’t know if his mom is alive but his sister should be the one to getb it IMO. I’ve been crying all day. This man is the reason I love the kind of music I do. My sis and I used to play Barbies with them as the revolution and sing Prince, Vanity, Jody Whatley etc etc. All my cousins called me to see if I was okay. First Chyna, then Prince….he was sooo young.
My heart has officially broken today. RIP purple one.
Prince’s death will overshadow Chyna’s just like Michael Jackson’s overshadowed Farrah Fawcett’s in 2009. A true legend is sent back to the Father. R.I.P.
LOL I was at work today and my mother called me as well all hysterical. Girl I chuckled a little because of how she was acting like he was her brother or something. LOL
I don’t when it’s done well, but i know what you mean
I’m sorry you feel that way. His cause of death, whatever it may be, doesn’t take away from who he was or his accomplishments. Don’t feed into the stigma, It’s a chronic disease like any other.
He just bought back his music catalogs and they gave him that “special man made flu” …the Eazy E strain
Ooohh NOoooo
Chris Brown is a confused
R I.P to the beautiful one my Gemini twin. I love you and I’ll always Miss you. Thank you for the movie Graffiti Bridge.
JUST READ IT…FORNICATION…VERILY JUDGED ALREADY…GATHERED TOGETHER IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST….TO DELIVER ONE UNTO SATAN FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE FLESH ; SAID FLESH CAN BE SAVED IN THE DAY OF THE LORD JESUS….HELP ME FIND THE SHUNNED PART.
BECAUSE THE NWT DOESN’T SAY “HOLY BIBLE” ANYWHERE…BECAUSE THE TRANSLATION MAKES NO SENSE COMPARED TO EVEN THE KJV (WHICH IS MY PREFERENCE)…THEY WERE SIMPLY NOT SYNONYMOUS
Wow! I had no idea about this but it sounds just about true. That’s really deep. Thank you for that knowledge
And TMZ said the day before he died he went to the hospital they said he would have to stay and his manager said no he can’t stay and they walked out he went home and then died
:2 2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? -NIV
:5 “Deliver one unto Satan”- your text
:5 4 So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, 5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. -NIV
It’s there in black and white
I WAS READING KJV…DISSECT KJV AS ABOVE?
ALSO MAKE ROOM FOR ACTS 8:37 WHILE YOU’RE AT IT…KJV. THE NIV BIBLE OMITS SOME THINGS TOO IMO. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT MY PHYSICAL BIBLE IS NIV…WHEN IT COMES TO FACT VS FALLACY – I CHOOSE KJV.
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
From King James
Its not shunning, it not disowning, sometimes folks that are acting up need a moment away to get themselves together. When doing an intervention for example, the advise family members to have their conditions one of which is usually you can’t live here, you can’t come around, amongst no money,no rides etc etc… The basic principle is the same. But because religion is attached folks lose their minds over it. When I can bet you have a family member or friend RIGHT NAH you don’t “mess with all like that” and made that choice for whatever reason.
ONE LAST THING…YOU LEFT OUT V4 WHERE IT’S WRITTEN JUDGEMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN PASSED ON THE ONES WHO BEHAVE THIS WAY…IF YOU CHOOSE TO SHUN, THAT’S ON YOU, BUT THIS DOES NOT SAY WHAT YOU WERE INITIALLY IMPLYING. VENGEANCE NOR JUDGEMENT BELONG TO US…ONLY TO THE MOST HIGH. GOD BLESS!
IN THIS MANNER, I MOST DEFINITELY AGREE!!! BUT THE MAIN MESSAGE OVERALL IS THAT “GOD IS LOVE”…WE HAVE FREE WILL TO DO WHATEVER WE CHOOSE BECAUSE IN THE END, WE ONLY HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR SELF AND NOBODY ELSE.
HOWEVER – MY FAITH/BELIEFS DON’T FORCE ME TO SHUN OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR LIFESTYLE, CHOICES, DECISIONS, ETC…IT IS THE WELL BEING OF SELF THAT DOES IT FOR ME. IF YOU’VE SHOWN ME THAT YOU AIN’T ISHT – I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BELIEVE YOU. BUT NEVER BECAUSE OF WHERE I ATTEND SERVICE ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
No, I’m sorry that you are so imbecile-minded to believe some troll’s lie that Prince died of HIV. Before you just throw out some trash like that, at least wait until you have the facts. I know it’s hard to overcome innate dumbness, but practice makes perfect. Practice researching before opening your vault of ignorance.
You can always see the “SON” day or night! Prince was deep in the gospel…he will be missed.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mannnnn I been looking for your commentary for a while now. I seen that shout out Snitch gave you..finally! Bravo!?I knew you had that good good so thank you for dropping it. Keep us informed cause I KNOW you know.
P.s Is that goatee still proper? ?
There is no judgment.. it basically stay away from folks acting a fool so you don’t end up acting a fool right along with them. Prov 13:20
You have this idea of shunning and turning you back on people, hating folks etc. That’s not what it is. No one shuns anybody
Lol lol, Im Flattered, and Humbled….Thank you for your Kind Words.Its a beard now. (Smile)!!!!
SO EXPLAIN DISFELLOWSHIPPING TO ME…EXPLAIN WHY MOST JW’S DON’T AFFILIATE WITH NON-JW’S…OR TALK DOWN ON NON-JW’S. THERE IS MOST DEFINITELY A JUDGEMENT, BUT IT WON’T BE HUMAN JUDGEMENT. I’VE BEEN SHUNNED WHILE IN THE MIDST OF JW’S ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS…THEIR BOOK IS NOT THE SAME PERIOD.
TRY TO FIND ACTS 8:37 AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IT SAYS…NWT
THERE’S PRETTY MUCH 2 DISCUSSIONS FOLDED INTO ONE…IF I NEED TO ELABORATE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE A TENDENCY TO RUN MY THOUGHTS/WORDS TOGETHER…
So you’re upset that because people who were only supposed to copy the bible altered it (Bible researchers and historians have determined this) so those verses, Acts 8:37 is not the only one, have been omitted?
What do you talk about with your friends? If we don’t watch the same shows, go to the same events, dress the same, or have much in common why would there even be a want for affiliation? That’s not someone judging you… that’s recognizing that there really isn’t a gateway for much a relationship. Think about these things practically.
But yes there are biblical reasons for “keeping yourself separate from the nations”. Amish live in communities, Jews live in communities….
We already discussed keeping what random folks do out of the discussion cause its always gonna be some folks somewhere acting stank.
Disfellowshipping is a LAST resort when someone is unrepentant, there is a whole process where you can ask for help, guidance, prayers if you want to stop doing whatever. If you don’t, then no you can’t be influencing other folks. And they are not shunned, sent away, or kicked out they are welcomed to attend meetings. It’s basically a time out for someone to get themselves together. It’s discipline. Would you hang around or want you child hanging around someone drinking, smoking, wylin, and not wanting to do any better? You associate with like minded people.
OKAY…AS MUCH AS I’D LIKE TO READ THIS, I JUST DON’T WANT TO. I’LL JUST DROP THIS HERE. CLIFFSNOTES: THIS GUY SECRETLY FILMED HIS DISFELLOWSHIP…I’M ABOUT 40 MINUTES IN NOW. HE’S SPITTING SO MUCH TRUTH AT THEM AND ALL THEY CAN COME UP WITH IS “SO YOU DOUBT THIS? YOU STILL HAVE DOUBTS?” HE MAKES A TON OF SENSE. I’VE EXPRESSED MY DISTASTE FOR JW’S BECAUSE OF PAST AND PRESENT INSTANCES WHERE I’VE SEEN THEM (OR BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF) MISTREAT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY AREN’T WITNESSES. AND NO…THAT’S NOT RIGHT. NOT IN THE NAME OF JESUS IT ISN’T. ARE YOU A WITNESS? CAN YOU TELL ME WHO YOU BELIEVE JESUS IS? SON OF GOD OR THE FIRST CREATED ANGEL? MY GOD GOES BY MANY NAMES, BUT IT DOESN’T CHANGE HIS MESSAGE. LORD, JEHOVAH, THE GREAT I AM, ELOHIM….MANY NAMES; ONLY ONE MOST HIGH.

OMISSION AND ALTERATION IS 2 DIFFERENT THINGS…THE APOCRYPHA IS OMITTED; THE NWT IS ALTERED AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. YES BOTH CAN BE EXPECTED WHEN TRANSLATION COMES INTO PLAY, BUT THE WORD IS THE WORD. IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD. SIMPLE.
Oh ok!?I see you!?
You’re very welcome sir!
Your commentary is always so on point but on this particular artist I just NEEDED to get your input. I went over to RWS and sure enough there you were but I know if I don’t catch you then I lose cause you get in and out real quick. Anyway I’m a Prince fanatic always have been and I’m totally beside myself about this news. Thank you for making some sense out of this. I’m watching the news right now and they’re talking about his pain and medication addiction ..percoset (sp)
Soooo you don’t remember me? No? Nothing?
Condolences
he received the Eazy E strain
Thank you
You’re so welcome.
Good evening good sir. Hope all is well. I haven’t seen you on the net in a few but I was wondering about that rumor that Apple was in talks to buy Tidal and what it will mean for Prince music lovers such as myself. They are looking for you and your infinite wisdom over at RWS ?too.
