Nicole Richie
- Thread starter ARon
- Start date
More interestingly, Nicole's biological father is Pete Escovedo Jr, Lionel's drummer, and son of the legendary Latin percussionist Pete Escovedo Sr, who played with Santana amongst others.
Nicole's biological aunt is the gorgeous Sheila E, best known for her work with Prince - she had a string of hits with Prince in the 80's including "Erotic City", "The Glamorous Life", and "A Love Bizarre", and she was Prince's drummer on the Sign O The Times and Lovesexy tours.

Nicole's biological father, Pete Escovedo Jr:
apparently nicole's mother was african american, so that makes Nicole a mix of Black and Latino. She is pretty light these days but if you see photos of her as a child she was a lot darker with dark curly hair.
Also Nicole's middle name is Camille - she was named after Prince, he has a alter-ego called Camille that he used a lot in the 80's...it involved speeding his voice up and crediting the vocals to Camille to make people think it was someone else...he did a whole Camille album but it never got released and the tracks all got released in various places - I know a lot of people on here like the track "If I Was Your Girlfriend" since 'Pac sampled it....that was a Camille track.
Anyway I'm rambling on about Prince again, what a surprise. He also gave Nicole her first pet, a dog, which he named "God".
And Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones are Nicole's godfathers.

And how the fuck is she 3 quarters black and one quarter Latino? She's a blond bimbo!
Combination of light make-up, blond hair dye and blond attitude. If she didn't dye her hair and used a more natural make up shade she'd probably look a lot more like Sheila:
note - that's pete sr on the left and pete jr on the right in the second picture.
I agree that Nicole needs to prove that she can actually do something, talent-wise. I mean Pete Sr and Jr are probably the best latin percussionists in the world.
Sheila is one of the best drummers in the world full stop and easily the best female drummer and percussionist in the world.
Watch this video of of last week's Alma Awards. Prince performed with Sheila playing percussion and she absolutely fucking tore it to pieces.

She is naturally light, strange given her heritage but not that uncommon. Many people get lighter over age too. Look at Prince for example. When his debut album came out in 1978 he was really dark with a huge afro:
These days, he is lighter, and that's just his natural shade. He hasn't had any work done or done anything MJ-esque.
I was definately darker, 10 years ago as well. My skin tone was like bronze, now it's a lighter olive-brown.
