Jerome is a legend. The Time as a band are legends. Put them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or there is no need for one!!

Out of everyone in the purple clan this man had the best experience with Mr.PrinCe. He was alot of fun and non-judgemental.If Jerome would write a book I would DEFINITELY buy it💜 (cuz there's so much more that we haven't heard)

Take care , Jerome. I love U.

It is really possible to stay awake for 3 days straight without drugs. Without medication to go to sleep I'll stay awake for days and be very creative writing songs and poetry. So it doesn't surprise me Prince didn't get much sleep.

Man thanx for the awesome insight Jerome. I know you hate to speak on things. Your persona was always as big as Prince's. You guys had the best chemistry. I'd love to hear those stories only you could tell. Id pay money. I trust you and Bobby Z with the greatest insight. Bless you for being you brother

hey roamierome u rite ~ BoyFriend was on another level that didn't need drugs to keep high energy 🎶💜

I LOVE IT, THANKS JEROME 4 KEEPING IT 💯 ✊🏾🫡

I believe EVERYTHING that Jerome is telling us cuz Prince was NEVER a drug addict especially like the media LIED and said that he was after he passed.

Unfortunately the autopsy tells us different. He maybe wasn't one in the 1980s because was young. But it caught up with him in the end

Back in the 80's, Prince was in his 20's, so going days with only a snooze, at best, is possible for most with nothing more than a caffeine sodas, coffee, and No Doze. Eventually that type of living catches up to you in by your late 30's or into your 40's. But Prince eventually needed pain killers, because his body was breaking down on him due to the aging process, the wear and tear of repetitive motion, awkward seating, body positioning, and torqueing on the muscles and joints needed to play instruments, and just the life unhealthy lifestyle of being an on the road live performer. No one is invincible, and all the artist who had to be on the road to make their money, suffered and died from health issues. Heart, high blood pressure, diabetes, alcohol and drug abuse, just to name a few.

@JSU Tigers - Prince never had hip surgery. The incision noted on his autopsy was from an arthroscopic procedure due to it's small size. Prince needed a complete hip replacement like Morris did, but never went through with it. Had he gone through with it, the incision would had covered about 70+% of this hip area.

@JSU Tigers - Prince was already having hip issues and was taking pain meds. A doctor did the procedure to help clean out the area and not require blood transfusion, but to give him a better quality of life, he needed to hardware insertion. Morris said he put his off, but since having it done, it changed his life, to include allowed him to perform on stage without the pain. Besides his hip, Prince was suffering from hand and wrist pain. Pretty much Prince's performance career was over, but was trying to wing a miracle before he died.

@JSU Tigers - It's called, once worked in diagnostic radiology and having to sit in on hip and knee replacements, because surgeons need exposures taken to determine the placement of the hardware. That means sitting in one spot while the hammer, drill, and sometimes screw to get the hardware into the bone. To hammer the hardware in, means cutting the leg wide enough to to make room. A 3-4 inch incision is not big enough.

Thk you for sharing. Smile. Jerome on point. Nj-usa

Love 2 Jerome!!!

Would love to hangout with Jerome Benton... My best friend's dad's name is/was RIP Jerome Benton, and he always said I was his other son.

Thanks Jerome, for being there.

Toure asked some good questions

I believe everything Jerome is saying cuz if u true Prince fan u know Prince was very antidrug that's why he called quits with Vanity cuz of her drug addiction and I heard he fired Big Chick from being his bodyguard bcuz of his drug addiction

We need to hear more than 5 minutes from Jerome.. on Prince

I can see how he would rely on Jerome for an escape into just being normal because Jerome had that energy of cool side kick , friend to be around and not worry about the heavy things. you could see it in the Cherry moon movie in that famous scene at the restaurant

That was COOL !!

Prince, the Real one man show, everyone, and everything else are just props.

Big ups brotha ✊🏾

💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜

Prince and Grace Jones in the same room !!!! Awesome

Jerome is telling this man the truth and he don't want to hear it

Toure is moist.

Prince didnt take/ consume cocaine. Certainly he slept...but not that much...he was so creative...no time for sleeping

💍💎

So there is a genetic mutation that allows certain individuals to only need 4 hours of sleep per night. Most former Prince associates say he slept very little, and if he did a 48 hour marathon recording session, he'd sleep the next day, get up, and start all over again. There was a bed installed at Sunset Sound, and his engineers said he would nap and write music on it, and whatever else. I love Jerome's loyalty to Prince. He and Andre are examples of those Prince loved and trusted. Also love Peggy Mac, who is straightforward about Prince. She keeps it real, and refrains from the psychobabble and girlfriend analysis of another engineer, who sounds utterly pompous, IMHO.

I read the same thing about having beds at paisley in the recording studio

you should see the interview of Prince when he was about 11 or 12 the local TV station in Minneapolis went through the archives and came across this interview nobody realize that this guy would be world famous but it was about the teachers strke

Ima get me some crumbs😂 we'd show up perfumed up

Jerome

I'm thinking in my head if u are creative, love music like he did, creating all kinds of different sounds...I can see how u wouldn't sleep because u want to get ur thoughts, ideas out pretty quick...I can see him doing that for the love of his musical craft.

J is 100% RIGHT the only correct place for a real man to wear his woman's panties is around his neck or on his face it's called a love mask (of course it depends on what time of the month it is).😉🙂😉

Where can we find the full interview

Jerome, you have changed a lick

Toure seems to be “implying” that Prince did drugs. Prince in his later years was on pain medication. Prince did not do drugs.

Too bad the Full interview is missing

Morris ain't shit without Jerome 😂😂 He the first hype-man before I even knew what a hype-man was and he was 🥶 My very concert ever in life eva was bout 3yrs ago in Benton Harbor MI Ojays & Morris Day came late missed the Ojays😢 I seen Morris and Jerome wasn't with him I was instantly 😡 ion Kno who bruh was holding the mirror up but it dam sho wasn't Jerome annnddd. He played my fav song Jerk Out the very last song and didn't perform it all way thru 🤦🏿‍♂️ WTF but I still enjoyed myself and Morris still got it I'm 41yrs and my 1of2 concerts eva in life the 1st was Morris Day 😂😂😂 I got a old soul tho 🤷🏿‍♂️and Rick Ross, Freddie Gibbs, Babyface Ray was my 2nd

Susannah his fiance at the time said that he slept. His engineer said that he slept in a few times.

elvis said ´i don´t use drugs and i don´t like people who take them´ heheheh yehh i just saying the things people can make themselves ´wise´ on + justification like a thin sprayed on chrome layer over a botomless foggy black murky lake shrouted in denial and amnesia

Is Jerome still in his skin 🤣😅😆😅

Sounds like Prince might have had Bipolar disorder.

Processing during Marine Corps Boot Camp will keep you up about that long... Smh

This convo was very awkward at points. Too many silent moments and the interviewer assuming EVERYONE in the 80s did drugs or was a alcoholic. Very cringey

I still dont believe he died from drugs...just so hard to understand...we all know he was...just saying.

I honestly think Prince was autistic.So many signs are there.The obsessions,musical talent..shyness..lack of sleep and untold energy.He must have been.
