Prince's bodyguard, who says he's been working for the megastar since 2012, spoke to CNN Sunday as he came out of an invite-only memorial for Prince.
The service was held at the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall where Prince worshiped in Hopkins, Minnesota, near Minnetonka.
"I was Prince's bodyguard up until the day he died," said Chris Gaither, who goes by the name "Romeo."
He is certainly built for the job. Gaither is a towering figure. Dressed in an electric blue suit, he was one of the last to leave the private memorial attended by a few hundred people.
"It was truly beautiful, fitting for someone as well known as Prince. We acknowledged his memory and his presence and everything that he's done for this world and for generations to come," Gaither said softly.

But his tone quickly changed when the question of Prince, painkillers and addiction came up. Gaither said he wanted to set the record straight and dispel "all the lies" out there.
