“When we were growing up, my father would say, you know, ‘We could have nothing, but you look around in this room, your brother, your sister, and me, that’s all you’ll ever have,'” he said during the interview. “And that always stuck with my siblings and I, and we have such a close relationship.”

Prince shared, “Because I’m the oldest, you know, my father would always tell me I have to make sure that the group is taken care of and that I have to be the leader and lead by example,” he said. “But, after his passing, and us being thrown into the ‘real world,’ my siblings honestly—they picked up the slack that I unfortunately left behind.”

“At this point in our lives, it doesn’t really feel like there’s that hierarchy of ‘I’m the older brother,'” he continued. “It’s more we’re all siblings and we’re kind of all on that same level where my sister has her strengths, and my brother has his strengths where I’m not as strong in certain areas. They complement me in that way.”
