brother duane and tyka nelson

while prince sets upo for the bet awards..there is hardly any mention on his brother duane and hsi sister tyka...last i heard of duane he was head of security for prince and as far as tyka i think she was in renab
seems to me that he estranged by members of his immediate family? or he just keeps it quiet

y would there b mention of his family bcuz of BET?
and just mayb they'v 'stranged themselves from him
anyway, how often do u tell others when u truly know someone famous
and y would they have the need 2 tell others about u
it don't work that way

I've heard and know things on Tyka I can't disclose. Chick has got major problems. I don't think Prince helps his little sister too much.

I don't think that's true about Prince not helping her. I read an article last year where it seemed he did try to help her. Here's a short version of the article. I can't seem to find the longer version, where she talked about selling things Prince gave her to support her habit. It was very sad to read:

Years ago there was a story about Duane going to jail. His older sister stated on the show Prince did a lot for him but Duane wanted to be Prince. Tyka is a former drug addict who is clean now. Prince is very private and he don't talk about anyone even his wife so it didn't surprise me.
