He has 4 siblings, right? What are they like? What do they do? If he has sisters, what do they think of his song "Sister"?

I think his sister Tyka tried 2 have a singing career.
She released "Royal Blue" and "Tyka Nelson"

The last 2 pics r from the org gallery.
I dont know about anybody else's career.
If Im correct I think Tyka is Prince's only other sibling who has the same father and mother...and I have no clue what she thinks about the song sister.

I know that during the whole name change thing, Duane Nelson (brother) was on tour with him as well. They mentioned him in some interview. I'm dying to see pics of all of 'em.

The song "Sister" is written about Prince's older half sister, not Tyka.

I think you are right about Tyka being the only one that has the same Mother and Father as Prince.

I believe you, but I'd like to know how you know that.

I read it in an early interview somewhere....A mod or someone else around here probably has a link to the story. I will see if I can find it.

You know what, just listen to the lyrics to the song, "My sister was 32 lovely and loose....I was only 16 and half a man..."

Tyka is younger than Prince so she couldn't be the one he sings about in "Sister".

It is and it isn't. It's not believed to be autobiographical or literal at all, but more of an angry "fuck you" to his sister disguised as a sleazy incest story.

I know that Prince has a brother named Alfred, who was commited years ago. Not sure that he has the same mother and father. He is almost never mentioned.

Smooches;)
