Does anybody know about Prince's sister, I read one day that he has a sister!!! what is she doing and what is she looks like

tyka?

morning noon and night he gives her . . . oopps wrong song

Prince's sister kind of looks like a female version of Prince on the chubby side.
I think she only put out 1 album in the 80's (entitled 'Royal Blue') & hasn't really been heard from since.
She has 2 sons, Sir & President. I guess unusual names run in the family.

Is there a site where there is a pic of her:???:

Tyka



Tyka dabbled in the music biz during the late 80's, but did not stay for too long...
She is currently a happy mother of two son's "Sir" and "President".

Tyka actually released two albums (on the Chrysalis label, I believe). The second album is VERY hard to find. There was an article (with picture) about her in People Weekly back in 1988. She has two sons who must be around 20 by now. I loved her Royal Blue album, and I told her so in a letter. She wrote back to me on some "cute" stationary, answering most of my questions, and gave me a signed black-and-white 8x10 of herself (her hair is all done up, and she wears a white satin? sheet from the neck down -- looks very glamorous -- oh there it is, the one that "july" just posted, thanks). On the outside of the manila envelope, she wrote various words in blue ink such as "Love," "Peace," and "Faith." In the return address, she wrote nothing else but: "From Your #1 MPLS Fan." On the 8x10 she wrote a small poem: "Love is the Key, Faith is the Door, Forever Amore." (I think I forgot a line -- "Fly High in the Sky" or something like that). Her song "Paris" is supposedly about her brother going to France in 1985 to film Under the Cherry Moon and not taking her with him; though, he took a lot of other people. It's probably my favorite song off her first album. My second favorite song is "Marc Anthony" -- a song about an "imaginary friend" she has. At the time, she even wore a second watch to keep track of Marc Anthony's time. I used to have a couple of her singles, "Marc Anthony" with "Royal Blue" as a B-side, I think. This is all hard to remember. And then there was a 12" release of her song called "L.O.V.E." I think. The second album only had one single release, and nothing more (if I remember right). I have yet to hear that album. I can't find it. Oh yeah, there was a VERY small picture of Tyka in Rolling Stone magazine sometime in or before 1987. She looked like she could've fit in with Prince's band in the Purple Rain movie very easily. The blurb said something about her being Prince's sister and that she wanted to release an album. There was also something said (I think in the People Weekly article) about her not wanting to use her brother to get an album out. Prince had offered her some recording time at Paisley Park studios, and I don't think she accepted. She did it on all her own instead. It was also mentioned that she was so shy that when she was in the studio, she had to sing behind a curtain. She is Prince's only full-blooded sibling, and a few years younger than him, I think. He has a couple older half-sisters or step-sisters (Sharon and ??), and at least one older half-brother (Dwayne, "handsome and tall" from Lady Cab Driver). It's been awhile since I've read a Prince biography. Sorry for any mistakes. Perhaps someone else can confirm or clarify what I already said.

Maybe... yeah... but... ummm... Will these do?



smile...

I heard very recently that Prince's "sister" (I don't know if it's Tyka or another one) was on welfare or disability (or something), and that she had unsuccessfully sued Prince for allegedly having stolen one of her songs.

I also have a clip of one of Prince's half-sisters on video being interviewed by a news show about 8-10 years ago...she looks nothing like Prince except for the skin color.

Does anyone know whether it's true that "Pebbles" is Prince's cousin?

comedian eddie griffin was going around telling everyone that him and prince are cousins.ddsw

PurpleJedi said:

Just your normal everyday all american midwest folks... smile...

Thanks for the pics, July! Could you name those people off? I only recognize P, his dad & (I think) his sister Sharon???

Mattie was pretty; Tyka is too.

Tyka doesn't look like Prince at all that I can
see, except for maybe they have the same nose?

What do you all think?
She looks white.

july said:
