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.

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?

Not complaining-imo its not a good look. Just my opinion I got the $31.21 tix so I'm good.

While "his body was still warm"? WTF are you talking about? He was creamated 30 hours or so after he was found dead (and at that point he had already reportedly been dead 6 hours) -- and AFTER a four-hour autopsy had been completed! His body was FAR from warm and there is literally nothing shady about having him cremated at that point.

-

Did you consider that perhaps she didn't want his body lingering around because she wanted to avoid the possibilty of post-mortem photos sneaking out somehow (like MJ's did) to eager "fams"? I would have done the same as her.

Not a good look? Then everyone who uses tiered pricing for any kind of event looks bad. Which is 100% of the people who do events.

"...Too many fammys have a delusional sense of entitlement..."

I know! Right?

If Prince's younger sister is anything like my younger sister, the only thing she would be saying to "the fams" is something along the lines of...

as slimphuk Natasha rodríguez would say:

"...None O' Yall's Damn B'ness! [titters demurely]..."

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

I read that ticket price did NOT include a meet and greet.

Did Prince ever do a meet and greet?

I think she did it because she knew that if she had buried him instead of cremating him, then all these religiously fanatical "disciples" would be permanently camped out around Prince's grave waiting on their knees for a messianic "resurrection".

So...what...she should have had him stuffed and mounted over the fireplace?

What have I missed? I don't understand what the post is relating to, can someone help me out????

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.

Perhaps spending less time on the internet, reading what people think of her, is in order? I mean... if you're 'busy'. Hell, I'm so spun around by today's "don't think / just do" business culture, I can't tell you what's on TV these days or what's a great new song that's out there. Perhaps she should rethink her capacity and role - she may be the best person to make decisions, and let others 'do'. All said w/love.

OK I'be heard everything. So I guess Prince wasn't trustworthy either since we now know he has a chemical past?

Did she mention anything about spending time on the internet? For all you know lots of people may be telling her what is being said.

And nobody would want me as P's sister cuz my post would've told every ungrate muthaeffa that the next complaint and each one thereafter would delay the release of ANYTHING, music, unreleased music, unformation, ANYTHING...ONE YEAR.

And I wouldn't give a F*CK who didn't like me. Yes, I'm THAT bytch. Try me.

She was protecting him. I was very glad.

She is the reason there are no MJ type pics of Prince online.

PREACH!

Greedy, insensitive, entitled and childish, exactly the same as when Prince was still alive.

Thank God.

Man - if Prince were alive I bet he'd be pissed at all the people giving his family a hard time. I understand that everyone just is looking out for what they think is justice for Prince and they need to realize that Tyka might not have all the answers yet herself. This is likely a hugely complicated situation and we shouldn't speculate at all on it and judge her for our perceived inactivity or suspicion.

.

The dude was private enough that we'd probably know even LESS if he was in charge of *his own* funeral. On top of that people on here thinking they are owed something BY PEOPLE THEY HAVE NEVER MET IN REGARD TO A PERSON THEY DID NOT KNOW PRIVATELY need to take a step back and get their delusion goggles off.

.

I mean damn - if I was famous and then died and some asshole who didn't know me started giving my family a harder time than they were already enduring I swear to god I'd come back from the dead to go back hand them in the face and then I'd majestically evaporate back into the ether.

Edit: And even then I bet my said 'fans' would complain that while resurrected I didn't give them an autograph.

[Edited 9/30/16 10:34am]

at the end of the day she and her siblings could have said 'fuck the fans, what do we care, we
have enough to deal with. get a lawyer in here to broker the best possible deal for this estate,
agree on the sum and sell it'.

they didn't. they're being accomodating. it remains to be seen if this whole museum thing is a
lucrative deal for the estate in the long run. but it seems those were prince's wishes and she's
seen to them this far.

This.

Some people need to put themselves in Prince's shoes and then read some of the crap posted on this forum. Is it any wonder Prince was so private? Some seriously self-entitled obsessive types here. The type you would not want as a fan. Scary.
