Well, I certainly hope she has people around her to keep her from overdoing so nothing happens to her, too. That wouldn't be good.

Hi, Please understand that I'm Doing The VERY Best I Can! Don't 4 Get I've Lost from this Earth someone I've been with All My Life...He Loves U and I Will Make Sure My WONDERFUL Brother/Friend/Man/Musician/Entertainer and Son of GOD! WILL Remain Accessible 2 the Ones Who Loved him 2 Prince Lives... Eternally ~Tyka

I sometimes need to remind myself that while I lost an artist I loved dearly Tyka lost a brother. Even if they didn't always have the best relationship they were FAMILY and they loved each other. The fans are important but it's not just about the fans. I'm sure she is doing the best she can right now. 💜

Thanks for sharing this. For five months I kept trying to remind people over and over that she has a lot on her plate because I know what it is like to deal with arrangements for a family member who leaves their affairs in disarray. I had to do it twice, so it pisses me the hell off when people diss Tyka.

Prince is her brother and on top of the grief, it has to be a hundred times more complicated for her trying to sort out his affairs.

With all due respect, must call b.s.

Given the utter Slew of legal, administrative, business folks, and their underlings retained by her and others to be paid in specified billable minutes for what they're claiming to be doing on Prince's dime on her behalf and on behalf of the other beneficiaries, there should be/is very minimal being asked of her, frankly.

However, such clients who have never functioned consistently in this world with any structured work ethic, nor ever even been self-sufficient in meeting their own most basic, real world, daily demands financially as others must, anything would be "overwhelming."

Those who loved him do know this is not "the very best" folks can do on any level, and hasn't been from the beginning. If anything, true grief would push you to function harder.

All you have to do is read the hateful, insensitive posts above yours to give you an idea of the venom Tyka has endured since she lost her brother.

What in hades is WRONG with some of y'all?

Exactly. It's not just the actual day-to-day pressure of helping shepherd his massive and cultrally important estate (a task she undoubtedly was completely unprepared to take on due the unexpected nature of P's death). It's the bombardment I'm sure she's getting from fans (sorry "fams") who view her as the point person for all their complaints about whatever (see comments above, for example). Unbelievable.

Look it is the asshole of the year.

You have buried your head in the sand. Some of us want the truth. We have invested time, money heart and soul into Prince's music. It's the least they can provide, no matter how ugly the truth is.

If you want to the truth spend your time and money go to Minneapolis and volunteer to help.

I don't think those post are hateful, they are somewhat true. My grandfather past in Feb., I got 3 days off for the funeral. We had agreed to host his family reunion here. So in between my grief, anger and life in general I had to plan a family reunion. So I get that it can be tough, but you have to find a way or get with the right people to make it work. Dealing with us(Prince Fam) can be just as challengeing as dealing with blood relatives.

Tyka must also understand that at times we will question the things she do{like we questioned Prince}-I question the $250 meet and greet at the Dance party...Does that make me mean and hateful???

Also, because we know that she is not in control, as of today, we know she doesn't have the final say. I figured that out waiting for the tribute to go down. If she had said that or even eluded to the fact that she is not the only one working maybe people wouldn't be so hard on her.

And you have your head buried up your ass if you think for one minute that anybody owes you anything at all simply because you patronized Prince's art? You have the items that you paid for and the memories of his exquisite spirit to cherish.

Prince already left you people far more than you deserve or are entitled to but many of his so called fams are too stupid, blind and entitled to see it.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

It depends how you do it. Frankly, there's really nothing to bitch about with respect to this because no one is making you pay that amount. There are lower-priced tickets - or you could just stay home.

And, yes - what did Prince charge for a meet and greet?

I understand that people grieve in different ways. Shame on Prince for not leaving the documents necessary to avoid this quagmire. "Regular" people don't know how to play at his level. He even didn't know how to properly handle his business affairs.

I believe in another thread on the org is the statement that she has retained new legal counsel, dismissing her other attorneys. There is fighting amongst the siblings with Bremer Trust. By the way, do you know where your sibling(s) bank? She seemed to know, rather quickly, in April whom to ask to oversee the Estate. Maybe her monthly allotment came from Bremer. I cannot shake the feeling that they would all be happy to have money now and to let the rest of the estate go. JMO

Girl, thats a different thread. This isnt what i got from Prince, this is about what i'm NOT getting from Tyka.

Tyka doesn't owe you anything either.

Yes it does. Tyka is extending herself to fams as a courtesy. She is under no obligation, moral or otherwise to do so, therefore you have no right whatsoever to be hard on her.

Too many fammys have a delusional sense of entitlement.

Finally, if you claim that she doesn't have the final say anyway, then why complain about her in the first place? That makes no sense.

I honestly don't know who the hell these people think they are. Like I said, they better thank Krishna or Odin or whoever that I'm not Prince's sister.

Shame on Prince. Really? I guess that's the way you "grieve".

This is my opinion-it makes whomever{let's not assume this is just Tyka alone} seem to play into the handos the people talking about the family on wanting Prince's money. It is my opinion.

For the record, I will be at the party-not doing the meet and greet with the family.

I thought Bremer, McMillan and Koppleman were in control of the estate?

The onstage tix with meet and greet for the 2003 shows in Australia were $995

I can't say that I remember a meet and greet option for the shows I went to-there must have been one for Musicaology but I missed it.
