Morris Day, the man who created Morris Day & The Time alongside the late Prince, took to Instagram Thursday to share that can no longer use the name.
In his post, Day claimed that the Prince Estate has forbid him from using the name “Morris Day & The Time,” a problem he said he never had while Prince was alive.
“However, now that Prince is no longer with us — suddenly, the people who control his multi million dollar estate, want to rewrite history by taking my name away from me, thus impacting how I feed my family,” he wrote. “So as of now, per the Prince Estate, I can no longer use Morris Day & The Time in any capacity.”
