“They Want Me Quiet”: Sheila E. Testifies Prince Warned Her About Diddy Before His Mysterious Death
In a courtroom that had already heard its fair share of twists, Day 7 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial delivered the most chilling moment yet. When Sheila E. — the iconic drummer and longtime confidante of Prince — took the stand, she didn’t just deliver testimony. She delivered a revelation.
Her voice was calm, but her words carried the weight of a man many believe was silenced for knowing too much.
Sheila E. told the court that years before his sudden death in 2016, Prince confided in her about the dark side of the music industry — and about Diddy. “It’s not just about owning your masters,” Prince allegedly told her. “It’s about who owns you.”

According to Sheila, Prince had grown increasingly paranoid in his final years. But this wasn’t the fear of a fading career or illness. It was fear of being shut down. “There are people at the top playing God,” he warned her. “If I speak too loud, they’ll shut me down.”
Prince believed Diddy wasn’t just a music mogul — he was protected, shielded by powers that stretched far beyond the industry. And he wanted Sheila to stay far away from Diddy’s infamous parties. “You don’t want to be in that room,” he told her. “Things happen there that you can’t unsee.”
Sheila recalled a specific night at Paisley Park, Prince’s estate, in the mid-2000s — a party Diddy hosted but Prince never wanted. Cameras were banned, security was tight, and even Prince felt he’d lost control. “This isn’t my party anymore,” he told her.
What happened behind those closed doors? Sheila didn’t go in. But what she saw — and what Prince told her after — left a permanent scar. “That was the last time I let him into my home,” Prince reportedly said. “Something dark came in with him.”
As her testimony unfolded, Sheila painted a picture of an industry powered not just by money or fame — but by fear, silence, and control.
Prince, she claimed, believed there was a surveillance network hidden behind the glitz. “They record everything,” he told her. “People are led into rooms, offered substances, and then caught on camera.” That footage, Prince warned, wasn’t just blackmail — it was currency.
And Diddy? “He wasn’t just participating,” Prince allegedly said. “He was curating. Controlling.”
Sheila described Prince’s final months as haunted. He had begun investigating the hidden power structures behind the industry, linking his own battles with Warner Brothers to the rise of Diddy. “The same executives who shortchanged me,” Prince said, “are the ones helping launch him.”
The courtroom fell into silence when Sheila revealed Prince’s last call to her — in the middle of the night, just days before he died.
“He sounded scared,” she said, her voice cracking. “Not of death. Of them.”
“They’re watching me,” Prince told her. “They want me quiet.”
Sheila ended her testimony with the words Prince left her with:
“When I go, don’t let it be in vain.
Remember what I told you.
Protect the truth — even if it’s ugly.”
