A new report claims that a pre-Grammys party in Hollywood was graced by Prince, but only after another singer was disinvited.R&B crooner Eric Benet -- Halle Berry's ex-husband, now engaged to Prince's ex-wife, Manuela Testolini -- was shut out of the Essence Black Women in Music event last week, the NY Post says, because organizers believed the couple would make Prince uncomfortable.
The party's guest of honor was Grammy-nominated vocalist Janelle Monae, who sang four songs, including 'Tightrope' with OutKast rapper Big Boi. Hitmaker Cee Lo Green, who opened for Prince's Welcome 2 America tour stop in New York City last week, also attended.
Meanwhile, New York's Daily News claims Prince was also chilly toward a fellow A-list guest at Essence's party: Sean "Diddy" Combs. But Diddy's rep quickly shot down the rumor, saying there is "no truth to this."

Just saw Whoopi at the Venue this past Friday night. She was present onstage when this incident involving Kim allegedly took place. Whoopi stated that THE INCIDENT NEVER HAPPENED..........NEVER HAPPENED.

HEY???? IS THAT OINKER PAM (THE PIG) ANDERSON STILL AROUND???
Prince is an enormously private person, he also is still a bigger star, then Benet will ever be. Why should he be concerned, just a story, to create controversy.

If this is true, from the article I don't get that Prince initiated the banishing. It's nice that the organizers of the party respected Prince enough to care how he may or may not feel. Anyway Prince has been all up and through that. Why should he care that Benet has his sloppy seconds. Manuela was 5 years ago & Prince has since moved on.

Maybe they thought Prince would jump on stage and start perform "Darling Nikki". LoL!

Little Prince needs to get his big ego in check. If he's still nursing his broken heart over his ex, perhaps some counseling might help, Little Man. He's a self-absorbed egomaniac. Sorry for him that he can't get a grip on reality.

YOU DO, if you're on this board!!!
Vcgf or whatever it is. Prince doesn't need counseling, Essence did this out of respect for him. His exwife needs counseling for getting engaged to a sex addict. You just wish you could be Prince

Whatever happened to "taking the high road"?
Wouldn't one rather be underestimated and surprise them than to be overestimated and disappoint them?

When the tag line said Prince I thought it was going to be something juicy about one of the Royals not that silly little girlie man has been that calls himself Prince.

Actually he doesn't "CALL" himself Prince... it's his legal, given name Prince Rogers Nelson born June 7th, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota... SMH

Actually, we prefer to call him, "The artist currently known as Prince."

Prince must be a very private person, or he would be as popular as Michael Jackson. Prince has more talent then the stuff that masquerdes as music today. ie.Lady Gag Gag
