Prince's ART.

FACT: Prince can draw and paint beautifully and amazing. Prince watercolor paints doves and Majesty and Divinity were adopted in 1992 and Majesty appeared in the music video "7" in Mayte's hands and kissing Majesty's head as she flies away. Unfortunately both passed away.

Prince: June 7, 1958 - April 21, 2016

Majesty: January 27, 2017 (a week)

Divinity: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 after 28 years of life.

The Day Doves Cry For Prince:

.... that Majesty and Divinity fell silent after the artist died. They didn’t even sing their mourning song, which would have made sense since it represents optimism during a tragedy.

When Al Roker asked her if she still felt her brother’s presence at Paisley Park, Nelson said, “Oh, definitely. Anytime you look at his clothes or his shoes or you hear a song because sometimes they’ll play music in here. And then, of course, the doves…

“After he passed, they weren’t talking. It didn’t feel the same… So when I first came in [to Paisley Park after Prince’s death], I was like, ‘Where’s the doves? What’s going on?’ [His staff] said, ‘They’re up there. They’re just not talking.’ I said, ‘Well you need to play some Prince music.'”

That ended up working and the doves started talking again, but unfortunately not for very much longer. Divinity and Majesty just couldn’t live without Prince. Neither can we, really.

Divinity and Majesty were credited for the song "Arboretum" on the One Nite Alone Album (2002)

Prince's high school report.

FACT:

(Living with his closest friend and bandmate Andre Cymone and his mother Bernadette Anderson Cymone's house after being kicked out of his father's place for bringing a girl in house, after living with his aunt unfortunately she couldn't handle Prince playing instruments for long hours, after living with other relatives around every area, etc.)

Prince claimed that "She would let me do anything I wanted to” as long as he finished school. Graustark gamely asked how much one can do in a basement; “Well, it depends on how many people are there,” came the deliberately eyebrow-raising reply. He then went on to vaguely describe a scenario where Bernadette “came down and saw a lot of us down there, and we weren’t all dressed, and stuff like that. It kind of tripped her out, and we got into a semi-argument, and whatever, but it was… you know…” (Graustark 117). In her introduction to the interview, Graustark added fuel to the fire, referring to Prince’s “sexual excesses in a dank, dark Minneapolis basement with his confidant and companion André Cymone and a host of neighborhood girls” (110).

"Did you really hitchhike to this meeting place?” I ask in an attempt to find out exactly how he got to his destination without accepting a ride from a friend and without driving a car.

"Yeah. It only took 45 minutes. That was fast. What’s wrong with hitchhiking anyway? You must come from a rich family. I didn’t. I ran away when I was twelve. I went to my father’s house since he wasn’t living with us at the time. Then I ran away from him a year later. Guess how many times I’ve change addresses. Twenty-two times!” he exclaims proudly

Right On! 1979 Interview With Cynthia Horner.

My face colored with embarrassment as I realized what a fuss I had made over his hitchhiking earlier. My concern for his well-being and safety had fallen on deaf ears. “Well, if you’ve done all that, you must have laughed when I was worried about your hitchhiking.”

"Not out loud, I didn’t. I was respectful. Don’t worry: it’s not my time to die.”

"When did you decide to stop running away and stay put?"

"I haven’t yet. I told you I’ve moved three times since last year. It makes me feel older when I run away, like I’m achieving something.”

Prince's mail.

FACT: Prince's mother Mattie remarried with a man named Hayward Baker. Prince and Hayward (stepfather) didn't always get along and Prince would ask and want to stay with his real father. Hayward is a good father and takes good care of Mattie's kids and had kids with Mattie who are step siblings of Prince and Tyka. Tyka stayed with her mother Mattie while Prince stays with his father John.

There is a song titled "Papa" (1994) from the Come album and it wasn't confirmed if the song was referring to John or Hayward being too discipline on Prince and locking him up in the closet for hours and belting him with a belt.

Here's the song "Papa".
