This question already has an answer here:
The title says: should I use mysqli real_escape_string when using prepared statements?
Is it necessary, better for the security, overkill, doesn't make any sense, or...?

Assuming you mean "For data that will be inserted using placeholders": No. You'll end up double escaping the data (so you'll insert the escape sequences from mysqli_real_escape_string as data).
