In breaking news, it has been confirmed that iconic entertainer Prince has passed away today.

Full story below…

The legend’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure told The Associated Press the music icon was found dead at his home today in Chanhassen, Minneapolis.

As reported, the late singer had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. He later appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. At the time, his team told TMZ he was battling the flu.

He was 57.

The music world has lost one of its authentic greats. May he Rest In Peace.

    RIP… So sorry to hear this. A huge part of history is gone. Musical Genius… so sad that Only Madonna and Janet remain from the huge top 5 80’s icons.

    • eurotrashboy80 April 21, 2016

    • SMH April 21, 2016

      Yes, and its time for both of their fan bases to end their fan war. We need to cherish both of them from now on, because they’re both up there in age. This is so sad. RIP Prince.

  16. MUSICHEAD April 21, 2016

    • Coolness April 21, 2016

      !!! I thought of this shortly after the shock learning that he is gone and this is not a hoax. Goes to show how we must respect and cherish our legends before it’s too late. I’m quite young so I’m not in the generation that grew up on Prince but I have his greatest hits and Purple Rain album. I always had huge respect for his talent and influence because with the way people spoke about him even before his death, you could tell he was revered as somewhat of a musical god. The music industry lost a legend today ☔️☔️☔️☔️

      You deserve to get your ass whooped

    • beykim loves bieber one direction beyonce miley and gaga April 21, 2016

      Feeling sorry for strangers? Some of us are sadly not like you.I may throw shade here and there but if someone told me something that was serious I would care for them because that is what is in my heart and something I strongly believe we are born with.What we become is based on the doors we open. I am a strong believer in the power of forgiveness and love and I would give my life for anyone because that is the love that I have for my fellow man.I may hate one’s attitude(yours right now) but I don’t hate you and I deeply care for you because you are sick if you can’t pity anyone or anything.

    • Ihatestupidpeople April 21, 2016

    As for whoever is behind the account “THE BEYHIVE” good gosh you are sick.I know I talk trash all the time but I know what humanity looks like.This is a solemn day for his fans and loved ones.I do not personally worry about the dead but I do feel for those left behind.I am appalled and I know it is the bitter spirit you keep inside that told youto write that.

  35. Rihboy April 21, 2016

    Smh. This is crazy!!!these legends are falling off seems almost yearly now. It’s makes me think about whose next in line like Mariah, or Janet or something. I just had to call my mom and tell her and she is ruined. She loved Prince. It’s crazy. And at the ” the behive” that commented up above talking about who cares lemonade yada yada yada. Beyoncé praised that man on vended knew, probably stole from him too; but furthermore admired him. And now that another legend has died you better hope they don’t whip up a special to debut this weekend on him. Because that will be oh so detrimental to the already not trending HBO special debuting this week. Ki! She paid to have HBO give free weekend because she knew them numbers were going to abysmal otherwise. I honestly think they still will be.

    • WhosBad April 21, 2016

      You stans both Navy and hive can be so retarded. So instead of ignoring an obvious troll you use his negativity to spread even more negativity and attack Beyonce? Not the post nor time for this stan war crap. R.I.P Prince you were a musical legend and I truly will miss you!

    • toeknee April 21, 2016

      But you know very well its a troll account cos it has never commented here before. You just wanted to use the opportunity to talk s*** abt bey you dumb f a g. Its probably you.

  48. Anne April 21, 2016

    This is not about Beyoncé. I thought I would never be as a strong of a fan of anyone besides Prince until I became a Beyoncé fan also. So I equally appreciate both but just a for a much longer time period for Prince. But some of the Beyoncé fans are being disgustingly disrespectful of his legendary legacy and influence on people like Beyoncé. It’s not cool.

  49. Truth April 21, 2016

  50. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 21, 2016

    We are starting to lose a lot of our greats.
    Prince opened up so many doors, for so many people.
    There’d be no Beyonce, Pharreal, Bruno Mars, Miguel, and etc if it wasn’t for trail blazer like Prince.
    This is a very emotional time.

  51. Mariah The Legend April 21, 2016

    I am appalled at this level of disrespectful. the hive are truly disgusting. this is no surprise since they make fun of Janet, passed away Aaliyah and Rihanna’s 2009 domestic violence which leave her unconscious after getting beat up. I hope the hive rot in hell. Good fuvking bye *drops mic*

Would you say the same thing if this was one of your parents who past away? I love Beyonce and she would even be pissed to see how some of y’all are disrespecting Prince GROW THE F*** UP!!!!

    • Sterling Infinity April 21, 2016

      I don’t even refer to crazy people as a part of the Beyhive. Whoever said that about Prince is seriously mentally ill. Both Beyonce and Prince have worked together.

      Please ignore the crazy people. Let’s make this post a memorial for our Legend and icon Prince.

    This news is so hard to believe. Prince was one of a kind. A man who was unafraid to be himself in his art and personal life. A lot of artists are vastly talented, but few are anointed. He was anointed and put on earth to share his art and change the way artists and art was presented. His music is timeless, his look was unmatched and his genius will live on through the artists he’s touched. It’s so sad that his protege Vanity passed away just nine weeks ago. It’s tough now, but his music is so strong, that he or it will never die. It’s also important that we respect and honor the legends that are still with us like Patti, Aretha, Stevie, Gladys, Chaka, Al Green, Diana, etc., even younger icons like Mariah, Mary, Sade, Janet, Babyface, Toni, Anita etc. They made waves so Beyoncé, Rihanna, Chris, Usher, A. Keys, etc. can SLAY and make power moves in the game and continue to push art forward. I’m sure BET is already making calls to Maxwell, Miguel, D’Angelo, Janelle Monet, Sheila E., Morris Day and the Time, etc. for a stellar tribute at this years BET Awards.

    Rest in Peace Prince. You are a legend and inspiration for so many. 🙁 A sad day for music.
    I wonder what happened. So young, only 57 years old

    I heard the news a few hours ago and I couldn’t think for a few minutes! I wasn’t the biggest Prince SUPERfan (although I thoroughly understood that he was a music genius), but I was a huge Prince admirer. I appreciated his musicianship, his compelling stage presence, his art, unique writing expertise and just his awesome ability to march to his own beat. It still kind of boggles my mind when I think of someone like Prince debuting in the eighties. Prince had a flair about him that some people couldn’t pull off/get away with in 2016! I guess it didn’t matter if you didn’t understand him fully, he was captivating in every way!

    I saw Underneath the Cherry Moon a few years ago and I just couldn’t believe Prince was so daring so many decades ago! He’s almost like a male Madonna… with talent! Anyway, MJ, Whitney and Prince are gone now! … so are many other legendary artists. It’s like seeing so many great musical dynasties just vanish! God bless all of their souls! The industry is truly on life support now! It makes me feel like I don’t want to take for granted any of our great artists that we have left! Sad thought: only 50% of that legends panel is alive now! 🙂 … Give your favs their flowers now! Life is short.

    Prince, Whitney and MJ changed the way music by Black artists was presented in the 80s. They, along with Run DMC, were the first artists to have their videos play in heavy rotation on MTV. They became Pop stars along side Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Bon Jovi, etc. who were popular at the time. The blazed a trail for future stars like LL, Janet, MC Hammer, Sade, etc. to become iconic as well. Hopefully Prince, Nippy, MJ and Jam master Jay are smiling in heaven, looking the influence on all of today’s music, style, culture and everything else in between. They are gone in spirit, but their contributions will never be forgotten.
