Last week former Prince protégé Apollonia Kotero slammed drummer Sheila E, accusing her of using Prince's death to regain relevancy despite the fact he'd stopped speaking to her five years before he died [click here if you missed that].
More Prince insiders confirm the rumors...
Prince's longtime sax player Adrian Crutchfield tells Page Six,
“After Prince died, it seems like everything she does is focused around Prince or his legacy and it’s strange because we never saw her at Paisley Park. I never heard Prince say she’s not allowed [there], but there were definitely certain moments of shade if she was mentioned. And management did explain she wasn’t welcomed.”Another source explained,
“He was pissed off because she put information about him in a book without his permission. They got into a huge fight and did not speak for five years. She was not allowed at Paisley Park. He wouldn’t allow her to come to shows. It was a complete shut-out … And now she acts like she’s the widow. ”
