Heywood Nelson his brother? O.K., so I'm on this other music board and someone said that Heywood Nelson (the dude that played Dwayne in "What's Happening") is Prince's brother. I know he wouldn't be biological, but he's not related otherwise, is he? I've never heard that. . .
So, I told them it wasn't true but that I'd check with the "Prince Authorities". . .which, of course, is ya'll. So, what say ya'll? | |

no!
i can see how there'd be a temptation to believe that because there is a very modest resemblance between duwayne and young prince, but nopers | |

O.K.--I figured this was wrong. I have no idea where they got that from. I've been on board with the man since the beginning and I never heard that. | |

I think someone confused him with Prince's real brother Duane!!! Of course Heywood's character on What's Happening was named Dwyane Nelson. So I see how someone could mix the two up!!! JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

No, No, No! I got into a heated argument with a guy in the record store about this. It's a stupid rumor.  | |

The only person that is "famous" that I know Prince is related to is Eddie Griffin. They are D I S T A N T cousins. I have heard Eddie say this several times on television interviews. He said he didn't know he was related until his mother went to a family reunion and met Prince's mother. Eddie's mom introduced Eddie to Mattie (Prince's mom). Eddie said he was really surprised that they were related. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

There's no need to be ignorant, Spike Lee is a very nice , talented and succesful human being and he doesn't deserve to be made fun of.  | |

Sure they're not confusing Heywood with Hayward as in Hayward Baker as in Prince's stepdad? "Sheeeeeeeeit" | |

I have been hearing this question since 1979! No dear, they aren't related.  "A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1 People can slam their door, disagree and fight it But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son? United States of Division"     | |
