Prince's Ex Rep Recalls How Singer Ditched Team After Becoming Overnight Sensation

Prince will go down in history as one of the greatest voices of his generation. With his catchy melodies, passionate lyrics and flamboyant style, the musician captured the hearts of thousands around the nation and the world. But after his mysterious drug death on April 21, 2016, things turned ugly for the star's million-dollar estate, as estranged relatives and fake love children did everything they could to get their hands on his massive fortune!

Now, two years after his passing, REELZ's new docuseries, Prince: Cashed Out, is giving viewers a look back at his successful career, final years and legal troubles surrounding his legacy.

"Purple Rain comes out and in its first weekend, it grows to $7.7 million, which is basically the entire production budget. It's made all of its money back, and it's a hit from the very first day," says Michael Pagnotta, Prince's former publicist, in the show teaser.

"It rose to $68 million, which was a fortune in 1984. The album, which is essentially the soundtrack of the movie, sells 13 million copies. And then he becomes this gigantic, larger-than-life, iconic superstar," recalls radio host Alan Cross.

After earning nearly $70 million at the domestic box office, and over $80 million worldwide, and being given an Academy Award for Best Score, Prince no longer trusted his advisors at Warner Bros.
