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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
