It sounds like it's the one we heard about early on who is from the Midwest. Should be interesting to see if it's true.

Paternity Test Proves That Prince Rogers Nelson Left a Son.

Genetic testing verifies one unidentified man's claim to be the Purple Rain singer's illegitimate son.

Independent genetic testing at a Santa Monica lab, has verified that an unidentified man in his 30s whose mother allegedly had several liaisons with Prince in the 1980s, has DNA showing Prince has a 99% probability of being the man's father.

Prince Rogers Nelson died from a fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park recording Minnesota home on April 21, 2016. He was 57. His staff found the singer dead in an elevator and called 911. He never married and died without a will. Prince left no children and no obvious heirs to his estimated net worth $300 million estate, other than one full sister, Tyka Nelson. So it was believed.

SMObserved.com has learned that genetic testing does in fact verify the authenticity of one claimant, to be the illegitimate child of the Purple Rain star. This child, a young man who is now an adult, is the son of Prince and a woman who, in the 1980's used to perform in the same clubs as the singer (though the mother was not a member of Prince's band).

The claimant, who never met his father, has negotiated with the Singer's estate and preserved his privacy (i.e., his mother desired anonymity) until today. However, if he wants to share in his estate, he will have to either settle his claim, or come forward with a legal filing in Court by the end of September.

Genetic testing has verified his claim, we have learned, so the Estate may ultimately settle with him. Since the Court must approve the settlement, the entire story will soon be public information whether or not the settlement is contested.

We'll see. How could anyone have a child by such a man and not want to be part of his life? Of course back in the 80's it would have been more difficult to prove paternity--there wasn't any genetic testing.

He could not have known. The mother must have kept it from him--until now. That's tragic. For the man and his father.

So if true, this man inherits everything?

I'd hate to think he had a kid, didn't know and then this kid gets to inherit his legacy. Shame, if true.

There was a rumour going around in the 90s, that at Paisley Park jams/parties, there was always a young kid hanging around in the shadows and it quite possible that he was Princes' son!!

Is this that first guy we discussed a while back, the one that actually looked a bit like Prince, in the black and white pic, with the afro?

In all honestly, I hope he has no illegitimate son/daughter. That would be awful. The fact that he never met him would leave too many unanswered questions and we already have plenty of those, thank you very much.

But doesn't a child mean Tyka wouldn't inherit?

yep but I would hope it wouldn't go down like that...this could get ugly.

..Imagine that Prince is your Father....?

Imagine Prince was YOUR father....Wouldnt you want to do him proud ?

I Feel this Boy will Step up.

My Feeling is that he will want to do the right thing..hes not going to Squander .

Lets hope he has learned enough in life to judge peoples character, becasue there are sure going to be a lot of Greedy Lusty people hanging for those millions.....

Tyka is in for a "challenging time"..

I wouldn't want to be a Nelson right now for any amount of money. Sheesh

Neither Me.....

this Boy and his Mother....Must be a tough decision for them...They re literally looking at loosing their anonymity and being subjected to the Very Thing that Prince Hated and Avoided

Media Maelstrom...

I feel deeply for them...It cant be easy...

Their whole world will radically change....

I'm just going to wait for an official report.

I find it hard to believe Prince would not want the world to know he had a son. He wanted children so bad, according to all the articles we have read. I just find it hard to believe that if he did have a son, he wouldn't have had his son at Paisley Park all of the time, teaching him the music that made him so famous. And I find it hard to believe that a mother would not want her son to have a loving relationship with his father, especially if it was Prince. Just doesn't sound true.
