I’m a huge Prince fan. I have never heard him called the Prince if darkness. Maybe I missed something.
Me neither... I don't think this is true😮
He has never been called that, by anybody, anywhere, ever.
It’s so untrue that I laughed. 😂
Same here. I thought they called Ozzy Osborne “the prince of darkness”.
@@eveie210True.
Sharon please. Prince of Darkness is Ozzy Osbourne.
.... Sharon is the gal 'Sister' was written about, right?
@@groofootNope. It was song written for shock value.
That may be true, but a lot of sources have said that it's a true story .... about something which happened when Prince visited New York at age 16 .....@@stephaniemeals4983 ....
@@groofoot This is correct.
Prince of darkness is satan
I don't appreciate the tone of this interview or the interviewer... His sister & dad should have honored his wishes smh.
I agree. The interviewer was an azz.
I was wondering when somebody would say something about that
Yep, that tone was condescending, like most colonizer interview tones.
Thank you for pointing that out. I was looking to see if I was the only one who felt some kinda way about the tone of the interviewer. I found it condescending and demeaning.
Good point, never thought of it like that
Prince had great respect for his father, paid homage to him and respected his craftsmanship tremendously. The press will use whom ever to get a story. And some family members are the worse! It totally bothered the press and entertainment industry that he was extremely private. RIP Prince & John Nelson two musical geniuses 💜
Yes, you're right because he wouldn't do interviews when he first became a star and it drove them the media that is, crazy. They hated that he was so private, I remember that American Bandstand show where Dick Clark was trying to talk to him after he performed and he striggled to speak to Dick Clark in that interview he was so extremely shy. Dick Clark said it was his worse and most painful interview.😆 But I get a kick out of his father. I think he's funny, he would have made a nice jazz musician, his Pops, because that's all the type of music he seemed to play.
Prince' Dad was a great musician.
THEY SHOULD HAVE HONORED HIS WISHES... HE KNOWS THE INDUSTRY....
Totally agree.
Exactly!
Exactly
This is the problem with fame. Even your own family can stab you in the back and and sell you out for some cash.
How did they stab him in the back??? They spoke lovingly about him. There were so many rumors about Prince during this time, I'm glad they did this interview to normalize Prince💜
😢Facts .
No not only the famous it’s the norm
Not just when your famous
Amen...family keep your mouth shut.😢
Miss me some Prince! Rest in your music and love! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Prince of Darkness? That’s Ozzy Osbourne. Our Prince is far from dark. I don’t trust his sister or his father.
Lol
Wow your so lost 😢 prince sold his soul for fame and fortune just like all the rest !!!! Wake up people we are not this lost come on now 💔🙏 listen to the words of his music then understand Lucifer was created by God with musical instruments made into his being he was head over all music in heaven !!!!!!!!!!! Our Bible says so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prince of darkness is exactly who he worshipped 😢💔🙏
@@bethlewis8731 And I’ll bet you only know half of the lyrics to Purple Rain. Quick - what are the lyrics to The Cross? How about The Ladder? Don’t know, huh? You know who the real devils are? Judgmental people who cannot think for themselves. People like that typically follow televangelists and predatory-preachers who brainwash them into thinking everything outside of their “blessed” prayer cloths and anointing oil are sinful. Why? Because they want to line their pockets with your hard earned money and push their own agenda.
As for the musical instruments you mentioned, the Bible is loaded with references to praising God with instruments - cymbals, bells, harps, trumpets, flutes, drums, etc. God made those instruments, not satan. Beth, stop listening to Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, and Paula White and think for yourself. Develop your own relationship with God, The Great Creator, or whomever you claim to follow.
Exactly!
_A Current Affair_ was one of several popular tabloid programs of the 1990s that masqueraded as hard hitting serious investigative journalism. _Hard Copy_ and _Inside Edition_ rounded out the unholy trinity of trash television gossip programs during that time.
May Prince live through his music, and rest in love!
💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is presented as bad but it actually shows him in a good light
This why he don’t fuck with them people lol 😂 anything for a dollar
Great to see his dad and realize his influence. Now let's see his mom!!!😊
It probably wasn’t about him being worried about what they said about him. It was the fact that they knew he was a private man and no one, including him, would appreciate family members talking to the press about their famous family member! The press loves to twist and turn facts for their own pleasure and ratings! RIP oh Purple One 💜🖤🎤🎹🎸🖤💜
This was respectful and they spoke highly of him
I see the resemblance in his father. Prince looked just like him.
I would like to see pictures of John Nelson when he was younger.
@@garysmith8073I've seen them. He was a handsome man. It's where Prince got his swag from.
Prince has his mother's eyes, smile, and most of her looks.. he clearly inherited his father's mouth and lips plus his mannerisms which surprised me.
Yep the look of an older Prince ..
Sister is someone you grew up with. Some people have father’s who left the family and started over and half siblings barely know one another. Tyka is Prince’s sister. And Prince has said himself that his father was not even in the house so IDK about him learning everything from John. John left Prince’s mother and Prince taught himself on the piano he left behind.
That doesn't make sense.
@@derouen1234 which part? John was not in the home to teach Prince everything he knows about music or Prince’s half sister does not know him as well as she says because Prince was not raised with his half sister, just Tyka?
@@trevorthetherapist4200 you're right because the half sister making a lot of this stuff up about him. If she really knew him she would know that Vanity aka Denise Mathews was his true love interest. Also, Appollonia said that she was never involved with him romantically, that it was just business because when she made Purple Rain with him she was dating David Roth of Van Halen. So, a lot lies here in this interview.
@@tubucoco That was my take. A lot of what she was saying seemed like pure speculation, but she is acting like he confided in her? Yeah right.
Sharon was one of PRINCE’S Father’s children by a previous wife.
DELLA SHAW was a bit younger than her husband, who had been married and had children before (and after) their marriage.
I would love to know more about his Mom, and her twin sister, MATTIE.
Prince was and still is a pure legend - Always. He made his impact on the world and a beautiful one at that.
I don't think I'm pretty enough...
what a smart way to turn a cheeky question into something positive.
Prince and Sheila E both have Louisiana Creole heritage
His father is really good at piano
It sounded like something God would say play something for me on piano..........it made me cringe it was so beautiful. Now I know why Prince was so talented, he is a prodigy of his own father........
Sorry but his dad is rambling on the piano !!! Prince actually made music
Just being honest
@@timragland1858exactly
Someone doesn't understand Mr. Nelson. The guy could play and Prince picked up where he left off.@@timragland1858
Strong accurate fingers tho.
Prince's dad looking like a straight narcissistic patriarch
He was
@@lauraveney1412Once again you talkin shit again!
How do you know, did you know him?!🤨
Reminds me of my dad he played guitar when he was Young andnthen when U started making músic and people started to tell him I had talent I Saw the jealous...narcisist Musicians compete with their sons,their ego hurts. A good father would praise Prince and say he IS proud..not say everything he knows come from me,he clearly shows in this vid he was envy and wanted his minute of Fame..a narc for sure
How very opportunistic of them. If you knew he was a private person, which we all did, and you also knew that that he did not want you to go on the show to talk about him, why would you?
To the folks in the comments insisting that Prince was biracial or even adopted and that he and his parents looked caucasian; they were not. They were African Americans and proud of it. If Prince hadn't been a famous entertainer, a lot of you would've considered him just another "you-know-what". But he's famous, so to you he can't be Black smh.They were Black and they looked black, get over it.
Your argument does not hold water because there are a lot of dark-skinned black entertainers and no one questions their blackness. Prince genuinely looked bi-racial. Yes, I said that. He obviously comes from a Creole background--having Louisiana roots and all.
@@opensprings Nope.
@@jdfodio All four of Prince's grandparents were born in Louisiana.
African American is a misnomer.and black means dead in law according to the black law dictionary. Most so called black Americans are indigenous
They were insisting cuz he put that narrative out there back then. At that time, many of us wanted to be biracial and ran away from being black. We wasn't so proud then.
I think Prince was so private and business minded, that is why he didn’t approve! He knew his mystique was part of his success. Prince’s father definitely molded Prince can tell by the way he speaks and plays!
I'm so glad to finally get to see his father. I never thought I'd ever be able to see and hear him play his music. I really appreciate his family for filling in the blanks. It explains a lot. I love the way his sister and father spoke so well of him. This was really beautiful. Thanks for posting.
His Dads music 🎶 🎵 ❤. Thanks again.
Yes, the music just flowed from his dad all the time the way he talks, moves and plays….. a genius in his on right
Exactly it takes nothing away from him.
I like what they had to say about him.
I'm also glad that I'm not tall.
I dunno. It sounded to me like they were speaking well of themselves and their influence on Prince's work. His father, though talented didn't have his son's wherewithal to make it work on a massive scale. Influential, absolutely, but it was Prince himself that took some of their basic snippets that he observed and made his own masterpiece. In a way, it's almost as if his tremendous success was a bit of an F.U to his family for their abandonment at such a young age, but like all abused or abandoned children, they keep longing for acceptance from the very parent/s who abandoned them. Thus upon gaining fortune, which the family seemed to enjoy, it seems he made a choice. Love or hate. Doing that can be a tough decision and take some interesting soul searching. It would appear he chose love.
But what do I know?
@@kirlygirl7863 good words.
@@kirlygirl7863 I can appreciate your POV
So what do you know ☝🏻you know what you know 🫂
IM A HUGE PRINCE FAN SINCE I WAS 7 YRS OLD. I MISS HIM SOO MUCH. AND MY FAVORITE COLOR PURPLE💜💜💜
Prince's father was not the saint people thought he was, sadly. After Prince’s parents divorced when he was about 10 years old or so, his Dad moved out. His mother remarried, but Prince didn’t like his new stepfather, so at age 12, he moved in with his dad, who in that same year, kicked him out because he caught Prince in bed with a girl. Prince pleaded with his father to let him stay and his dad said “no.” Prince said told Rolling Stone in a 1985 interview “I sat crying at the phone booth for two hours. That’s the last time I cried.” Prince then moved around constantly between homes of friends and relatives and developed an on-again/off-again relationship with his dad, up until his dad’s passing in 2001. I remember him saying in an interview once that when he was a teenager he would stand outside of a McDonalds and just smell the food, because he didn't have any money to buy anything to eat. What kind of father kicks their 12-year-old son out on the street like that, without any money and no place to sleep at night?? Thankfully, he had friends whose parents would let him stay with them and feed him. Just sayin....
He was preparing him for fame,
@@Pirrelli8
Bull! At 12 years old, he should have been preparing him for Puberty (and how to control his prepubescent sexual impulses).🙄
@@Pirrelli8 He was 12…A child, not even a teenager yet. His father should’ve been making sure he was home, fed, and had his homework finished and ready for school the next day. That’s just irresponsible and abusive.
Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
@@newwave80skid
Not necessarily. It just doesn’t Kill You. (At least not right away.)
Current Affair , what a time to be alive
This certainly was a MONEY 💰🤑 MOVE ❤❤❤❤❤
He plays like his father. Period.
Not at all !!! Prince made music but his dad is just rambling on the piano
@@timragland1858 I thought it was just me. Dad sounds terrible to me.
Yeah , his dad is definitely playing random gibberish
Imagine being so jealous of your brother, that you're willing to throw him under a bus. I'm glad Prince never spoke to her again.
Sharon was his half sister. only Tyka is his full sister…. Prince wrote his first song, "Funk Machine", on his father's piano when he was seven years old. His parents divorced when he was 10. His mother remarried to Hayward Baker, with whom she had a son named Omarr; Prince had a fraught relationship with Omarr, to the extent that it caused him to repeatedly switch homes, sometimes living with his father and sometimes with his mother and stepfather.Baker took Prince to see James Brown in concert, and Prince credited Baker with improving the family's finances. After a brief period of living with his father, who bought him his first guitar, Prince moved into the basement of his neighbors, the Anderson family, after his father threw him out
The prince of darkness? Wtf
I know, that was lame of her to say that lol.
Metallica fans said the same thing about "Prince's The Black album"
Lol Ozzy Osbourne is the prince of darkness, no?
@@nakahn9106 Ozzy wasn't called that before the 90s. Prince was called first The Prince of Darkness and his 1988 unreleased album with no name, was called The Black album before Metallica's Black album with no name. Facts.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481That's not true. The moniker The Prince of Darkness was put on Ozzy Osbourne in 1970, shortly after Black Sabbath's 1st album came out (It was released on Friday the 13th, February, 1970). That name has stuck to him ever since, and he's done many interviews about it, stating that he doesn't mind being called that. THOSE are the facts, not yours. Facts.
The music greats, particularly men, are always married to their music, and a wife will always be Number 2.
It was a complicated relationship w his father and mother but he loved and miss them both now they are reunited in heaven singing and playing for Jesus God bless Prince and his Parents soul Rest in Peace🕊💜💜💜
JW believe in a paradise on Earth
Neither of them are in heaven, they are in their graves until Jesus returns
Toxic!
You can't serve two masters,he didn't for God,when he was living.
@@NevillecharlesultdWhatever. 👎
Wow. He looks a lot like his dad.
People never realize that when you throw dirt you loose ground, some families of celebs want to cash in on the fame. Usually daughters are dad’s girl and dads are jealous of sons.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Nobody's jealous of that little clown, stop.
Dads are not jealous of there sons.women are jealous of daughters. I think Prince may have been resentful of his father. A lot of sons resent their fathers. I think that maybe they should have been closer but I don't know them maybe they were closer than the public knew.
@@0mega.mechan1c.👎👎👎👎👎
You're not his family at the end of the day.
This reporter was a little disrespectful at times. Kind of mocking his father.
I noticed that too. If that's Tucker Carlson then that explains the disrespect.
He looked just like his dad
Im shocked his dad wasn't more famous because he was great at the piano wow
To me it's improv jazz and it's fabulous. Thelonius monk like? It's fusion jazz cuz I hear so many styles. I can't believe he wasn't taken seriously by other jazz musicians. Well now we know how Prince was who he was.
Exactly, those notes and rhythms timing, it sounds “heavenly.........”
" Don't ever get married " - R.I.P. Clarence Williams III .
But he got married to Gloria Foster until her untimely passing.
Prince had more ladies then the ones mentioned.. A LOT
this is jazz and country when it comes to purple rain how his father plays...so its true Prince did all of his works due to his father roots and his is influenced by his controversy male and female in one.... its prodiguous and is genious
not just his dad but everyone around him as he grew up he picked up eveything from them.
🙏🏾🤔YES‼️
Would also say, Wendy and Lisa were like his musical sisters.They made some real gems for the earth to enjoy.
@@Pirrelli8 agreed 100%
This just sheds light upon PRINCE ROOTS FAMILY CONNECTIONS PRINCE AND HIS FATHER FOR SOME SEEM TO THINK HIS FATHER WAS NOT GOOD FOR HIM WHEN ACTUALLY I SEE THE LOVE THAT FATHER WAS PROUD OF AND FOR ME THAT'S ALL GOOD TOO I HOPE THAT THEY WERE PAID WELL FOR THE INTERVIEW
I ENJOYED THE INTERVIEW 👍🏽👏🏽
He literally had a big falling out with his dad and half sister over this interview.
Really? I see nothing but jealousy.
@@lauraveney1412 Thank you. It obvious why Prince would dislike what they both said.
@@reginafris6822Really, I see that you're not his family and never will be!
@@reginafris6822And it's obvious you're not his family!
Man oh man. Now I see where Prince got his influence. Just like Ellis Marsalis with Wynton and Branford, John Nelson totally shaped Prince's musical genius. So amazing to see Mr. Nelson being interviewed. The piano playing is incredible!
We be acting like the FBI over some Prince 😆
😂😂😂
#facts always looking for anything to feel closer to him 💜
They ain't said nothing that we don't know already. Hope they got paid.
Wow! You've got a treasure here! I didn't know about this and it's fascinating to see! Thank you.
Happy to share
🙏🏾Prayers for the Prince FAMILY ‼️💯💜🟪
The guy doing the interview was trying so hard to make the father look like he was a nobody, he was rude, dismissive, and he thought he was doing a great job but he wasnt, Prince's father was a great pianist and you here him in all of his fathers music
His Dad didn't give much, but his sister sure loves to talk. No respect.
The set up to this whole clip is really annoying. They repeatedly hype it up to be some sort of hit piece where you're going to learn a whole bunch of shocking personal details about Prince's life, and instead his sister talks about Prince liking his room dark and wishing he were taller. Nothing his father says is really negative ether. It's all much ado about nothing.
Right but I think this sheds a whole bunch of light where prince got his musicality from and style and why. That's what I learned anyway.
Why did they did they speak to the media? Did they get paid for this?
It’s a bit distasteful. I can understand why Prince was annoyed. That’s families for you.
I found nothing distasteful with the interview nothing at all except for his sister saying "PRINCE OF DARKNESS" FOR THERE WAS NOTHING DARK ABOUT PRINCE
PRINCE SAID HIMSELF THAT HE ONLY GOT ABOUT 3-4 HOURS OF SLEEP SO FOR HIS SLEEP ROUTINE SUNLIGHT WOULD HAVE STOLEN HIS RHYTHM 🤷🏽 UMMMPH 🤔
💰 💰💰
They can talk if they want to! It didn't do shit to Prince's reputation or career!
@@druscillalee2183Some people might get offended by this, but so what. That part of him wanting to be in dark spaces was probably because he didn't want to be exposed to sunlight to stay lightskinned. I believe that was a factor of what got him ahead and I think he thought so too.
@@stephaniemeals4983 huhhhh what's up with that comment 🤷🏽👎🏾
Playing for strippers and creating improvised music…the penny has dropped and it’s now clear where Prince got his unique , completely unique style of piano playing. So many tracks with fantastic piano solos…condition of the heart….sexy dancer….still would stand all time ….and so many more….RIP FUNK COMMANDER🎸🎹🎼🎤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dearly beloved.........nice selection,
Prince picked up on his father's burlesque/stripper music scene and fused it with his image and the girls he worked with while using that sound and style for his sexy music such as International Lover, Computer Blue, If I Was Your Girlfriend, Cream, etc...
John Lewis Nelson (June 29, 1916 - August 25, 2001), also known as his stage name Prince Rogers, was an American jazz musician and songwriter. He was the father of musicians Prince and Tyka Nelson and a credited co-writer on some of his son's songs. Source Wiki
Computer Blue
Scandalous
Prince's father reminds me of Joe Jackson. Both narcissists. Both of them were so hard on their famous sons. RIP Prince and Michael Jackson.
And Marvin Gaye's father as well. Sad.
This was not a tellall tale , dirty laundry, scathing interview….. you can see the ❤️
Prince Dad and his Mom are from North Louisiana and migrated to Minnesota
His father was very intelligent and handled the interviews well. It's obvious that his father's influence was positive. His sister helped break everything down. Now we saw how we came to have the Prince we knew and loved.
This was a great interview that gave insight into Prince’s beginnings. They were respectful and smoke highly of him. Wish he would have given us more of his family.
Yeah, pretending you know about your half brother's love relationships (eye roll), who you weren't even raised with, and the backstabber pretending he wrote his son's most famous song is SOOOOOO respectful. The dude can't sing, and he sure didn't play the guitar, base and drums. Prince kept them all at an arm's distance for good reason. It amazes me some people on this thread can't read between the lines. Prince was raised from the age of 12 on by Bernadette Anderson, Andre Cymone's mom. His dad left when he was 7, and Prince taught himself piano on the instrument John abandoned when he deserted them. His mom remarried a man, Hayward, who did not like Prince, and was never a fan. The only person A Current Affair should have been interviewing and paying was Bernadette, who encouraged and supported his dreams, and whom Prince remained close to until her death. She's even in the lyrics of "The Sacrifice of Victor": Education got important so important to Victor
A little more important than ripple and weed
Bernadette's a lady and she told me
(What she say?)
"Whatever you do son
A little discipline is what you need
Is what you need, you need to sacrifice"
We sacrifice. " Prince should have written a song about his own family called "The Dysfunctional Ones-They'll Hurt You Every Time."
Naa the person interviewing him was being disrespectful and condescending the whole time.
@@reginafris6822exactly!! Very disrespectful. I know people hate mayte but it seems like she was right about that part of her book about him having some problems with his father about his music. He should be proud of prince for writing purple rain,plus didn’t Wendy came up with that one cool guitar riff in purple rain? So why didn’t he gave his son credit and as well as Wendy and everyone else in the band. It seems like he only cared to say that prince got his talent from him and maybe he did inherited that from his father but prince did teach himself how to play many instruments. What I don’t understand is how his family did that to him? I mean he treated his dad right and bought him a house and helped them out,so why do him like that and not respect his privacy. Specially with his sister saying that prince didn’t wanted her to do this interview. They abused his boundaries and took advantage of a few minutes of fame by saying yes to an interview. No wonder why he preferred to stay with Andre and his family. Seeing this interview makes me sad and curious as to how his family actually treated him or did they became envious of him once he became rich and popular. It makes me sad because his family acted so nice about prince when he died but yet a lot of weird things were said by his biological sister about how she was already prepared for him to pass away. So strange,but hey in his book he seems to have good memories towards his father. Hopefully him and his father were able to fix things before his father died.
Complete betrayal 😢 so sad, 🙏🏽 if a person talks about things that they know you didn't approve them to talk about while you were Living, there's No Loyalty and Respect Once they do it after you transition 🤔💬 R.I.P Prince 👑❤️ ✌🏽🕊️🕊️🕊️
Oh pLEASE, as a parent I have a right to tell my story about my child. Glad they gave insight to how he was influenced early on. What is the point in trying to cover this up.
Have SEVERAL seats!
I absolutely agree @sherrylee5625 This is a disgusting display of selfish greed!
@mspinkytee As a parent, you have a duty to respect your adult child's request to keep your stories *about him* to yourself.
Pretty sure it was Ozzy Osborne that was the Prince of Darkness. I don't know that she knew him quite as well as they said she did.
Finally, Prince's POP. Exactly how I imagined him, except funnier. Thanks!!
John Nelson seems like a cool guy
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 INDEED 😎NOW ONE CAN SEE WHERE PRINCE GOT IT ALL
He was something else.🤨
@@truthbetold6011How do you know, did you know him notruthnotbetold?! 🤨
You can definitely see and hear that’s his DAD
PRINCE dad wanted the best for his son what he did by putting him out for having sex in the house just proved tough love for not following the rules kinda harsh maybe but that's tough love ❤ one thing that is certain PRINCE SPOKE LOVINGLY ABOUT HIS FATHER'S STERN APPROACH RELATIVE TO SEE HIS SON MAKE IT TO THE TOP OF HIS ABILITY WITH NO INTERFERENCE 🎶🎶🎶 IT WAS ABOUT THE MUSIC AND BEING BETTER THAN HIMSELF CREAM OF THE CROP👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤷🏽
Scandalous is my Favorite from Prince❤
I hope pay his father some royalties
His father was a *classic* don’t do as I do ,do as I say.He drank but didn’t want to drink ,smoked but didn’t want Prince to drink etc…
Prince's father treated him horrible. I think he was jealous of Prince's talent
I feel like he told us in purple rain, what his father was basically getting at. He definitely put a bit of his personal life into that movie. Also in Graffiti Bridge, when they talked about his music being horrible and him trying to master his own sound. He definitely has his father's witt and charisma.
I SAW THIS WHEN IT 1ST AIRED!! VERY INTERESTING!!
Amazing. Thank U 🙏🏾
Sharon she must be a sister from the fathers side. I never see his mother she must have passed early on.
She passed in February, 2002. Six months after his Father.
His mom was a social worker
As far as I knew, The Prince of Darkness was Ozzy Osbourne, I thought Prince father left the family home and re-married, and then Prince wasnt allowed to play the Piano that was left behind. No doubt something in the genetics, but I truly believe Prince was self taugh. For instance how many instruments did he play? too many to mention, all self taught, his father had no part in his talents, and his ground breaking ability to master and conquer the electric guitar.
I agree. But you have to admit, his musical genius was probably Somewhat inherited from both his parents, who were entertainers.
He just Perfected it.💜🕊️
@@joiisler8986 hell yeah he had the right genetics thats for sure!!! I think the father could have done more than just play in strip clubs also.
I see why he didn't have a will, he knew how his family is and how they disrespectful they are, rest in heaven Prince ❤💯🙏🏽
He still should've had a will for something to go to somebody if not his family. He shouldn't have been preaching about ownership when he didn't have his shit together.
With all the lawyers friends prince had , it made no sense him not having a will.
Prince estate paid lawyers $38 million dollars. For just one round of legal fees. Stupid and a waste of money.
I have been reading both the books of prince so enlightening ! Must reads !
Jealousy is such an
ugly and unfortunate disease
Wow. He does not want her to speak & she knows it. What a 🐖🐽
This guy interviewing is too snarky.
Hey boss: THANK YOU for posting this. Funny ending, too😂🖤
Dad kicked him out at 15. Yall should be shame. His dad not not play all the instruments Prince did. Perfect case of failed wannabe living through the child they not totally rear. And reporters must report the salacious points. I dont blame PRince.
No one ever cared what the ridiculous half-sister had to say, so her trying to gain unwarranted notoriety back then flopped as she remained irrelevant.
It don't matter, it's his sister at the day. If anybody is irrelevant it's you! Are you over or even a part of the Prince estate? No, she is!
The puns were overkill. lol! “Monarch, Princesses, royal, etc.” I think A Current Affair punched it up to make it controversial for ratings.
Agree 100%
“Never let anyone know what you’re thinking outside the family!” -Vito Corleone.
Ain't nobody stabbed Prince in the back! Prince couldn't control everybody and if he didn't want to talk and his family did, so damn what!
They didn't really even say anything. And to this day Prince has never been in a scandal and has never been canceled.
I saw the original broadcast and tough "there was nothing controversial about this"
o SHUT UP!!!! HE DIDNT WANT ANYONE TALKING ABOUT HIS LIFE, IT WASNT HER PLACE GOOD OR BAD TO SPEAK ON HIM!!!! AND PRINCE OF DARKNESS?? REALLY!!!!
@@rochelleduell5874 But people can say what they want though, like you just did. Nobody has to shut up, and Prince couldn't shut anybody up. He wasn't powerful, although he tried to pretend as if he was.🤷🏽
Genius subject.
Moronic reporter.
Daddy is not a singer.
His mom was the singer.
Daddy was a musician
The these two were totally *disgusting* for not honoring his wishes. How the heck does *the sister* decide that "at this stage in the game it's okay to speak to the press"??? Hopefully, he never had anything to do with them again after this. I hope their 15 *seconds* of fame was worth this betrayal. 🧐
It seems no one listened to John's playing like his own son, he felt his dad's disappointments possibly. When a young, organized mind prays it can bring startling results.
his father's a classy guy...
💜Very & Absolutely💯💜
Prince Rest In Peace 💜🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for the video 😊
It's embarrassing and creepy.. Poor Prince. His own family didn't have his back.
That’s not what this interview just displayed
@JayBelafonte I agree with the other commenters: Prince was private. They did not respect his privacy.
@@reginafris6822 they have lives too, Prince can’t control everyone. That’s narcissistic type of behavior. A lot of people have no clue Princes father was a musician and that he was heavily influenced by him.
@@JayBelafonte The narcissists are the two who are blabbing to the gossip channel for money, and for a spotlight they never earned. Most fans know that Prince's dad did not teach him to play. He taught himself when his dad left the piano behind after leaving Prince's mom. Sharon was his half sister, who put him up for one summer while he was looking for a record deal in NYC for a few months, and didn't get what he wanted, so he left, and then signed with WB, with the help Owen Husney. Sharon was was not raised with him. She is the child of John's first wife, not Mattie Shaw. If my brother told a TV journalist I had "a nice little body" I would never speak to him again. It is utterly creepy. John Nelson also had no part in the composition of Purple Rain, and probably little to do with either Computer Blue or Scandalous. Prince gave him writing credits so he'd have some money, and let him live in the original Purple House. I will never buy into the myth that his family was supportive of Prince; it was the other way around. Sharon admits she deliberately went against his wishes to dish on mostly inaccurate information. What a wench. Another loser sibling was Lorna, Sharon's full sister, who sued Prince for some phony copyright claim and LOST. I wish he'd written a will that disinherited that whole clan of users. Talk about dysfunctional.
@@JayBelafonte Bullshit. Prince paraded his dad's ass around in the early 80's. . Took him to award ceremonies, gave him writing credits that Prince's engineer Susan Rogers thought weren't even legit, let him hang out with his girlfriends, gave him a house to live in, honored him in several ways even up to the end of his own life (during his piano tour, he dedicated it to his dad). When Prince did an event in the midwest to promote Under the Cherry Moon that was televised on Mtv in 1986, his dad got to talk to the Mtv press at the event and his dad said "there would be no Prince without me"...technically, true, since he is his father, but he has never complimented his talent other than to remind folks of Prince's ability to see it in him. His dad hit his mother, left the family when prince was 7, after 12, basically ignored Prince as a kid unless Prince was making music. Prince lived in numerous homes growing up. When he was 17, he had to move from Andre Cymone's house to be closer to a recording studio so he lived with a friend named Paul Mitchell for 6 months. Paul said that not once did John come to visit and they all lived in Minneapolis...it's relatively small city. But when Prince got his record contract and went to record his first album in Sausilito, CA at 19, dad tailed along. He didn't owe his dad shit. Inside Edition is a damn tabloid. It's trash. If John wanted legit attention for his music, he shouldn't have done a show like that. They were being condescending. And he didn't write Purple Rain. John was an interesting musician with perfect memory but his compositions had no structure. When Wendy M was introduced to John and heard him play she was like "what the hell is this?".... Prince was like "I know its odd but watch this" and then he asked dad to play what seemed improvised again and he played it note for note. He had a weird kind of genius for memory but it was completely inaccessible and unmarketable musical rambling. As a father, John worked hard. He was a factory worker and played nights so I think he tried but he owed child support for two families. He had a rough childhood and was socially awkward but he wasn't a great father. He had 7 kids and most of them were screwed up. he could be sweet and funny but he wasn't consistent and could be super cryptic and say some fvcked up things. Also, he was unkind to his wives sometimes (even physically). Prince had a complicated relationship with him...sometimes estranged and angry at him, sometimes warm and putting him on a pedestal. JOhn was complicated like his son... so I don't hate him. Generational Trauma will do this kind of stuff. But Prince is not the villain here. His dad lived to be in 80's. His son's trauma cost him his life at 57.
This lady held up his estate so long her true motive was exposed.
Prince had nobody around him he could trust,even in his family.Thats why he was so controling.
Explains a lot💜
I'm angry before even finishing this. Listen to the Prince song "Sister." Sharon most likely sexually abused him.
The foil on the windows? Elvis did that in the 70’s to his room at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis
They seem to have it all but they were misrable depressed dope feins
His family seemed very proud of him. He may not have liked them talking about him because he was private and his sister, like many of our siblings, may have said some things he didn't want her to say, but the only people in this interview that were mean, were the people who put this interview together. There are certain people in the media who get really angry, malicious and jealous when certain entertainers are great at what they do. They want everyone to feel the way they do about the entertainer and hope they can destroy their career. For some reason they get obsessed with their personal relationships and throw out mean comments about them. That's really weird to me. The interviewer really tried to put his father down, but his father came from a generation who knows how to handle people like him. Prince's talent and people's admiration of him was too much to handle for the interviewer not the family.
The tone of this piece is petty. Its trying to plant seeds of negativity about Prince to the audience with the seemingly jealous sister supposedly exposing Prince. For what!?, Putting foil on his windows? Then the reporter uses the word "strip joint" to make it sound low down and disgusting, while Prince's Dad let it be known that it was fancy rather than raunchy. Dad seemed proud to inspire his son while Sis, who apparently didn't swim in their talent pool wanted to make a name for herself by tarnishing her Brother's. It's subtle but subtle and harsh are no different if your intent is to harm, taint, or deflate.
I feel this is a bitter man who's career was OK never made it, and is jealous of his son.
I believe his Father loved, and was proud of him. His Sister didnt gel with ne at all. She didn't even go to his funeral, but sure went through the changes to get his money.
She is full of it 😂
Everyone carry grief in their own ways and no one knows why she did not attend PRINCE FUNERAL IF THAT IS EVEN TRUE 🤷🏽DON'T BE QUICK TO JUDGE
AS TO PRINCE LEFT BEHIND LEGACY IT BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF PRINCE
FAMILY IS FAMILY
UMMMPH IF IT IS ABOUT MONEY SO BE IT EVERY BODY SEEMS TO BE DIGGING INTO THE MONEY POT OF PRINCE 🤷🏽 UMMMPH 🤔🧐 UMMMM
Go read the court files that sister is the worst
@@lauraveney1412 I didn't know that there are open court files and really I don't have to know 😔 the ugly
@@lauraveney1412 thanks I will!
A selfish resentful jealous and ego maniacal father, a dismissive half sister with a tenuous link to a talented workaholic. Some family. Prince was amazing because of the love and support of the Andersen family who took him in at the age of 12 when he was homeless due to the inadequacies of his parents. His efforts to keep them from the media was to save them from themselves mainly.
It's his family and you are not!
You said it!
I thought the father came off as jealous and egotistical too
@@jillmarsh8256What do you expect, he was mostly black.
