Legendary guitarist and musician Micki Free spoke exclusively to VladTV about hanging out with Prince and Eddie Murphy in the 1980s, and he provided us with the real story of Charlie Murphy’s famous Chappelle Show skit about Prince playing basketball. Micki told us that Charlie’s version was very accurate, including the fact that Prince played ball in his clothes that he wore in the club. The Grammy Award-winning artist told us that Prince dominated the game all while playing in 6-inch heels, and Micki even likened him to Michael Jordan on the court.
When it came to talking about Prince’s death, Micki told us that he was heartbroken after learning the news. He then revealed that he was in the studio recording a song, which he named “Lavender Kiss” in honor of the late singer. Micki also showed off a custom necklace that he had made in honor of Prince, which featured the “Love Symbol” with a lavender jewel attached.
During the conversation Micki detailed new projects he has in the works, including a new Native American healing flute album, and he gave a sample of his work by playing DJ Vlad an “honor song” special for the interview. You can hear more of what Micki had to say during the interview, including his thoughts on how Native American culture is portrayed in the media, in the above clip.

Holy crap I looked up Micki Free from the old days. He wasn’t kidding lol; he did look like a woman
When men can embrace the feminine and masculine there is nothing sexier. Prince, David Bowie, oh yeah…
Game, Blouses!
Micki is a kewl kat
I liked that time where Prince kicked Kim Kardashian of his stage for not dancing…
Rockers in the seventies and eighties were all androgynous. That was the thing
Cats: "Shalamar got this new girl and she fine as a mafucka!"
Chalie Murphy: "That Miki Free, Miki Free is not a girl"
"Micki Free ain't no girl"
Mickie seems like an amazing person. And i loveee that he played his flute

I think the only player he knows is Michael Jordan
Mickey free was not a girl! And it's so much fun to hear these stories in retro!
We all saw those Charlie Murphy stories and they were wonderful!
Him talking about guys in music wearing women's clothes, there's no better example of that than Fat Mike. Dude is the embodiment of punk rock, and doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks.
Man, this guy is a real cat. Good for him, man. Great interview.
Wow Prince was only 5ft 2
Mickie Free seems like a Koo dude to talk to and chill with
Tell me you don't watch the NBA without telling me you don't watch the NBA.
