Family members and close friends of the musician refuted claims the singer was addicted to painkillers. They stated the “When Doves Cry” singer led a healthy lifestyle and did not dabble in drug use.

Friend and longtime lawyer Londell McMillan called the allegations absurd.

“Everybody who knows Prince knows he wasn’t walking around drugged up,” McMillan told CBS. “That’s foolish. No one ever saw Prince and said ‘He looks high.’ It wasn’t what he was about.”

Music executive L.A. Reid echoed similar sentiments.

“I know he was really health conscious. He was a vegan. He didn’t abuse alcohol,” he said. “I didn’t know him abusing drugs. He worked out.”

The Carver County Sheriff’s Office will continue its own investigation.
