Prince’s drug dealer has disclosed that the singer once spent up to $40,000 a time on six-month supplies of Dilaudid pills and Fentanyl patches.
The musician’s drug dealer revealed that Prince was “always a pill man” and never snorted cocaine.
He further described Prince as ‘majorly addicted’.
He alleged that Prince suffered crippling stage fright and could not get on stage and perform without the drugs.
The drug dealer, who met Prince in 2014, disclosed that Prince had a phobia for doctors. He suggested that a physician could have unknowingly contributed to Prince’s death – by prescribing strong pain killers to Prince without knowing the extent of his secret opiate addiction.
He said: ‘I first met Prince in 1984 while he was filming the movie Purple Rain and he was already majorly addicted to opiates – I didn’t hook him on drugs he was already a really heavy user.
‘I would sell him black beauties which were a black pill and cross tops which were also speed pills.
‘He would use that as a counter balance to get back up again from taking opiates.
‘That lasted for a couple of years then he would just buy Dilaudid, which is a heroin based opiate. It is highly addictive. ‘ he added.
