Perhaps this person is connected to the earlier story about the law firm having confidential information it wanted to share with the court? That this man is Prince's son and Prince provided for him and his mother all these years as someone else mentioned. The keep quiet kind of arrangement.

THAT could be why the mother would not tout her child as Prince's son. Not to mention security issues. Perhaps Prince knew about the boy, provided for the boy and his mother--in an arrangement that was hidden.

The one news story talked about the son being in negotiations with the estate.

He might well want to learn to use his father's PP as his fortress now... whoa...

Did any women claim to be his daughter? Of the two legal children we know about, one was a boy the other a girl.

It is my understanding the girl will not be making a claim and has been taken care of financially. I believe P had more than one child, knew about them, and had a relationship about them, and took care of them through a Trust Agreement, and that is why you wont see them come forward.

It's your understanding...from what? From what legitimate verifiable sources are you getting your information...and "understanding?"

Yes, a trust is private BUT it must be known to the estate. Otherwise, the trust cannot be honored.

.

It depends on how the Trust document was written. If the Trust was funded with a lump sum payment years ago then the Estate would not know because it is not the Estate's money.

If the Trust is still being funded money through Prince's assets then the Estate would know.

If I gave you my "legitimate verifiable sources" then I blow someone's cover, right?

So, lets go with .......its a rumor.

Yeah, let's go with that.

If its on the Internet, it's true.

-// I have not said he was not a beautiful soul. Mental illness is an illness. Oh and that Facebook post that Tkya put up was from a year ago so at least a year ago he was at the VA hospital.

You said, "he wasn't all there", which is quite disrespectful to anyone, let alone a veteran. You also said Omar was "in bad shape". Care to elaborate on that one???

He is not all there and there is nothing disrespectful about saying that in fact their are much worst things you can say about someone with mental issues. His being a Vet may have nothing to do with his issues since Charles Smitn had already had already said his behavior was odd before he went into the service. I thought Omarr was being left out because he was Mattie's child but someone in here explained he was still good as an heir.

.

WHAT? You seriously thought Omarr would be left out because he was Mattie's child?

Why would that be any different than a half-sibling who John L fathered?

99% proof of a sole heir but we don't want to make a claim because we want to keep this private so we put it in public print. Yep makes perfect sense.

The only mention of a source in the article references "she said" along with a quote that sounds like it came from someone connected with the lab. This Santa Monica media outlet is listed as specializing in local news. The lab is in Santa Monica. Everything else in the piece seems to be pulled from scattered, random online articles. There is no "we" in the article that I can see outside of the newspaper staff.

Again, no idea if there is any truth to the piece whatsoever.

It is a suspect article.

......*sigh* all this time and they're barely scratching the surface at square one. It may be years from now when this is finally settled. Sad...

Prince could have maintained his privacy by writing a will, estate plan and trusts. Like the judge said the other day "once it became a court matter, privacy is not an issue".

Darn you, P.

.

-- He could have put some portion of the estate in a trust. Trust do not go through the court so we will never know. It is possible that this person had a DNA because a paternity test was taken a long time ago and the work product that the Enfrom firm could have turned over to the court a work product which could have been concerning a settlement or a trust concerning a child or with the mom. This kid could be trying to get around whatever the agreement was but I am not sure how they can do this without going to the court and losing their privacy. I also wonder if this had anything to do with his divorce.

The person in the article is in his 30's, so I don't think so.

So you're saying that you have inside information from someone in a position to know?

You know the strange thing about this.. I saw somewhere some tea about Prince having a child who has been provided for with basically a gag order on them and the child wanted to come forward. It does make you wonder though... this was before his death

/// I remember seein that blind item as well.

Well, if there is a child and/or children, I cannot understand why he would not have a relationship with them, especially if financial support arrangements were in place. If he thought it would affect his marriages - those ended. Did either wife know about offspring, if there was a child or children? He remained alone. Wouldn't his religion advise him to be a true father to any child, even if he never married the mother? But he mentored girls/women young enough to be his daughters ... Of course, male celebrities are often seen with women less than half their ages.

We dont know whether P had a relationship with these children. He was always on the down low.

If you go back and read the most recent legal docs the judge references the siblings of John definitely being heirs but seems to question the children of Mattie someone else explained that Omar was good as I misunderstood that he was cleared earlier. If you scroll back this was discussed. I don't need your nonsense when you can go back and read the comments. [Edited 7/30/16 20:51pm]

There is NO "seems to question". These court proceedings were only on the subject of the children of John L and the heirship questions of Duane's offspring. Mattie's children were not the topic, which is why they were not mentioned.

There will be separate court proceedings for Omarr and Alfred.

I do not speak nonsense. Rather, I clean up misunderstandings.

--/ If he had settlement agreements he may have a relationship with them. He appears to have some what of a normal non-celebrity life in his hometown. Already someone said in the 90s some little boy was seen around the Paisley Parties maybe that was his son we just don't everything about his private life. I kind of thought he was smart to a portion of his life away from the spotlight

@laurarichardson, I heard that too about the little boy at PP in the 90's!
