We have all wondered what was the extent of the relationship with RIck James and Teena Marie. We thought they were engaged, married, had a child together, or maybe that they were soul mates. Well Rick James spoke about this prior to his death, and he set the record straight about the extent of the relationship, and the fact that they weren’t even boyfriend/girlfriend! Wow!

“The first time Teena Marie and I made love was during a tour in Pittsburgh. She wrote a song about it called “Portuguese Love.” She told me later that I was the first one to ever give her an orgasm. We made love from sundown to sunup. But, we were never boyfriend and girlfriend. I would always tell her that I prided myself on maintaining my freedom. Sometimes if she was angry about other women she’d curse me under her breath when we sang, “Fire And Desire.”

It doesn’t seem as if Teena ever spoke directly about the relationship except where she musically documented her love affair in Casanova Brown. But in an interview, here’s what she stated about Rick James: “He was my musical soul mate. We were like an extension of each other. I miss all our talks. We were like family; only family can talk about family, not anyone else. Source

Also her daughter Alia Rose cleared up any rumors about whether Rick James was her father here.

So can we close out the rumors? Vote and tell us what you think!

Do you think we should stop the Lenny Williams, Michael Jackson, and Teena Marie rumors?
