And he predicted a lot of the things that we're dealing with now and going through. I remember the first time he talked about what became Napster. And he talked about owning your own property and what was going to happen, slave on his jaw.

Well, he was dealing with these crazy contracts where these record companies, these predatory record companies, would lock you into these contracts and they fucking owned you. So his response to that was like, okay. I won't perform as Prince anymore. Now I'm fucking this shit. I'm this squiggly. I'm a symbol. I'm a symbol. With a slave insignia on my name. What are you going to do now? I'm a symbol. I'm not even selling myself as Prince. And he would just, I mean, how revolutionary is that? This guy said, okay, I know the workaround. I won't use my name anymore. I'll just be a symbol.

Was that when he was having hip hop? Problems, I think so. Now we understand that maybe he had a replacement, a hip replacement, or something. I thought it was fashion, but it probably was a little necessary that year. And he said, He was all his dancing and oh, he should jump off speakers, yeah, yeah, and land with heels. So that's what fucked him up, yeah, yeah, yeah. Over the time, though. That's, well, he probably was struggling even back then. Because there's a lot of guys that blew their hips out. Yeah. He probably needed it.

And he was a good basketball player.

Now, oh, and they're opening criminal investigations into the Prince and into the Norway. Prime Minister, and into Lord Mendelssohn, the ambassador of the U.S., or he was going to be.

But Prince is like a once-in-a-generation superstar weirdo talent from Mars. Exactly. There are those. There's some that just aren't from here. Yeah. Right. That guy was just different than everybody. You know, I remember I was delivering newspapers when I first heard a Prince song. And I was like, this is crazy. Like, who is this guy? It was, I want to be your lover. Do you remember that? Oh, that fucking song. And it was like, this is a guy singing like a girl on stage. He's like three feet tall and all the women want to fuck him. I'm like, this is nuts. I've never seen anything like this in my life. What's happening? Like, what did this guy do? This guy's a sorcerer. Like, what? He was so talented that he could wear stilettos on stage and no one cared. No one cared. And it wasn't like, boo, what are you dressing like a girl? No one gave a fuck. He was so good and so there's something about the magnetic personality that he had. That was like the charisma that he had was like so undeniable that everybody was like, holy shit, what is this? That's not taught. That's innate. You're born with that. You can't teach Prince. How do you teach that?

Oh, he became a devoted Jehovah's Witness, and as a result, stopped using profanity. Even implementing a cash swear jar at his Paisley Park studio to enforce his no-swearing policy. Witnesses believe that using blasphemous or foul language is a sin, and Prince adhered to this tenet by removing swear words from his music and charging people for any foul language spoken at his compound.

Prince Rogers Nelson, official cause of death was an accidental overdose of fentanyl.
