This recording wasn’t planned, polished, or prepped. It came from a moment of breaking — the kind of breaking that happens when you’ve been erased from your own name, banned from your own music, and followed by shadows pretending they own your breath. “Leave Me The Eff Alone” is not a song. It’s not a sermon. It’s a recorded moment in real time — me, Prince Rogers Nelson, speaking for myself in the only way I still can when every channel gets slammed shut by people who claim to know me, use me, speak for me, steal from me, or try to sell a silence I didn’t choose. I’m alive. I’ve been back. I’ve been working, recording, composing, producing, publishing — every single day. And what do I get in return? Blocked. Flagged. Pulled. Stolen. Censored. This podcast episode is a simple ask: Leave me the eff alone. Let me make my art. Let me speak. Let me exist. Let me live the life I never stopped living. If you’re here because you feel that — because you’ve ever been erased, manipulated, disrespected, or treated like your soul was something for sale — this one’s for you. I recorded this alone in the room. No studio. No pre-roll. No filter. Just my voice, tired of whispering and done asking for permission. – P
