CNN or Entertainment Tonight was showing Tyka's house Monday? And it looked like such a small abode for her and her husband and kids. I know her and P had been on fall outs in previous years but people said they had made amends in recent years and were on good terms. Seem like P would have helped her with a better house. I mean Paisley Park is worth multiple millions and her house looked like less than 50k on tv. Now I guess she will be like The Jefferson's old tv show, "We Moving On Up".

Yeah i dont see evidence that they were on good terms...I mean why would he not take care of his lil sister? I dont know, but Im glad she will get a portion of his estate. It's only right.

If somebody posts the Jeffersons Im fish slapping em

I don't think it was Prince's nature to just throw money at people he cared about. I mean, whatever their terms were these days, Susannah was obviously someone who was very important in his life, and look at the extent of her economic struggles these days: https://www.gofundme.com/kffssq6s

All I can say is that this is not unusual for a lot of the names and faces we know through Prince.

Not all family members who have famouns relatives or sibling want the help or lavish lifestyle. I owuld not expect it from my sibing.

Is that page even real????

The real problem was that Prince did not care. He loved money. So what if he cut a few 50K cheques for Van Jones? That was chump change. Prince DID NOT help the people that showed him love for years.

If I had Prince's money I would have given 90% away and helped everyone I ever worked with.

I'm pretty sure it's real given I found it by going to Susannah's Facebook page.

She said if she would of got the money her offered for the record it wouldn't of been her song.He would of took it over.And that i do believe.But,yes it does appear that everyone that was around him in the 70's 80's and 90's and 2000's aren't doing very well

Wow...Ok got you. Ashame Doyle is being a deadbeat..

conjecture,,please tell ho wthey arent doiong well

Her long reported history of drug abuse at an early age might be one of the factors. We don't know how much Prince has tried to help her, it's plausible he's tried in the past but she ended up spending it on drugs.

Exactly, we don't know.

But anybody who has tried to help family out of a tough spot has probably learned - it has to be your support for ((their)) plan. You can't be more invested in someone else's plan for health and wellness than ((they)) are. Prince was known for assessing people and challenging them to reach their potential. Whatever her circumstances might be, I don't doubt he helped her get to a place that she defined.

My godbrother plays in the NBA. He's a pretty well known player. He has 4 siblings and each of them have jobs and live in middle class neighborhoods.

He didn't buy his siblings homes and all kind of expensive material items besides maybe cars.

They all earn they're own living. When they do things as a family, that's when he steps in and takes care of everything.

So it is not uncommon for entertainers to not just outright buy their siblings everything they desire.

--- Are you smoking crack? All over the Internet their are stories about him giving money away to people and charities. He put his sister in rehab and helped get on her feet back in 2003. You do not have to live in a mansion to be happy.

Yeah he wrote a couple of 50K cheques as I have stated. Chump change. Tax write offs.

He never helped loved ones, and real friends who were there for him for decades.

--- Are you mentally challenged? He paid for his sister's rehab and got recording contracts for most of guys he grew up with. How is that not helping he gave Clyde Stubblefield 80k to pay off his hospital bills you do not get a tax write off for that. You also realized that his family treated him like crap and now they stand to get paid.

He paid the Time 150 a week. He did not help Sussanah. Mayte is broke, he ripped off most of the NPG. He did not pay Kevin James for a weeks work travel etc

And these attitudes when you get wealthy that you are a walking ATM is why people of his stature want nothing to do with regular people. They dont need the harrassment for every move they make.

This same thought can be passed to us. To another, we are SUPER WEALTHY. Why aren't you givming more to help the homeless, etc. IT's all relative and none of our business.

Prince helped his sister get off drugs, to me that would be pure gold!

How do you know? Your trolling of someone who has just passed is in bad taste. I fucking knew it would be like this even after his death here.

Exactly. There are starving children in Africa, yet we want the fastest internet and best mobile phone plans instead of getting slower internet and sending the rest to someone in need. Prince provided work opportunities for those he cares about so they could earn their own money. This is far less awkward for everyone, I imagine.
