it's on a web site it must be true!

Uhhh....I have one big question:

I'm not believing a word of this until I hear it from the courts.

Has anything even been submitted to the court?

Where would they have obtained Prince's DNA?

Has any paperwork been submitted to the court from this "son"?

ALSO: is this the same person who the courts rejected as an heir because he had later been adopted and thus no longer Prince's legal heir?

It's not a matter of whether it'd be right or wrong, it's about enforcing the law. By law, the son has a right to everything, it is up to him if he wants all the fortune, or some of it, or none at all. As tempting as money can be, I don't know about him but the one thing I would want is my anonymity, if that means settling for less of the fortune then so be it. [Edited 7/28/16 6:22am]

I understand the law. I just don't think it's right. If someone knew about a child they had and had a relationship with them (or were providing financial support) that would be one thing. But if you never met this person and didn't even know they were your child why should they be entitled to your estate?

the harsh truth is this is why he should have had a damn will. With a will none of this would matter. It would be like "oh that is interesting but sorry you're not in the will..."

So yes it is RIGHT that any child(ren) of his get it all.

Interesting that the first thread about this gets shut down for being a rumour but this one is fine.

Anyway Dr. Funk had apologised for posting the story, though other Prince sites have tweeted it too.

I really hope this is a fake story. I can imagine Warners would be straight on to the kid wanting to buy the lot.

This was posted already, and locked because it was a rumor. http://prince.org/msg/7/429996

There is a sticky for such nonsense. http://prince.org/msg/7/426657

It would be possible that he had a financial agreement with the boy and/or his mother. Back in the 80's genetic testing would have not been an option, and if she was claiming he was the father of her child, maybe he didn't believe her but paid them off to keep quiet. That might create a situation if he comes forth now to claim he is the son, it might void the NDA he made with the mother back in the 80's...

Sure it was... DNA testing was around by 84... sure it got better and cheaper over the next 10 to 15 years but it was a thing.

As to an NDA it would not have applied to the kid unless it was redone after he turned 18.

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!!

[Edited 7/28/16 1:57am]

Yes, this. I have heard this before about a young toddler hanging around PP. Also, heard about the daughter that will not be coming forward as she is not interested in the money and is being taken care of by her family.

and child suppot would have been $10s of thousands a month. and he would have had to pay way more than that... this is so fake!

I think this story is rubbish. No reputable paper has published this story. Also even Dr. Funkenberry has taken it down and retracted it. We should wait for info from Bremer Trust., although I am highly inclined to believe Prince couldn't make babies given the failed attempts he had trying with his first wife and the lack of a child with his second who went on to have two healthy children with her second husband. Just a theory though, which I'm sure many of you also have.

We'll see.

Scoot over. Ameda brought snacks!

Yep! gots candy and popcorn along with strong drinks for those of us that might need it and for the kiddies or those that wish not to drink strong drinks ENDLESS coffee, sodas, teas, juices and things as this might require round the clock observation. Who's calling first watch? Also got your choices of bean bag chairs, fold out comfy camping chairs with cup holders, foot rests and trays to eat on. We got a smoking section for us cig smokers...gotta get a loan for more cigs at this rate though..

If this is true, I just hope he knew. But I can't understand why he didn't make him a part of his life if having kids was what he wanted. It kind of makes me sad that all this came after we lost him.

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....

totally Flipped upside down and inside out....

You know who I feel sorry for? Prince. If that is his son, why not tell him? Especially after he lost a child in terrible circumstances. He wanted a family and never got to have one. Now they come forward to claim his money but deprived him of being a father, That's if this is true...

Mimi, I think this is why P didnt leave a will. He knew there were children out there.

This is hardly entertainment. It's just sad to me.

If this is true I think that he and Tyka deserve Prince's estate...the rest of those half siblings shit I don't know. I know they're related just doesn't seem right that some of them really hadn't seen Prince in years.

Only if he had a relationship with this person. Again, that's IF this is true. IF it was a child he never knew about and never met I don't think it's right that they deserve his estate (though they probably would get some of it anyway).

They deserve all of it legally and morally. If it's true, Prince is that child's father. It doesn't matter whether or not Prince knew the child. Most likely he did though, and this is the relevant information the judge requested his former attorneys release. This could be great news

This is the same piece of crap publication that published that Prince died of AIDS. This is complete garbage and should be locked.

FlyOnTheWall said: If it's the same claim, supposedly he was invited to perform at the BET Awards during the tribute and allow them to announce him as P's son. He declined because he supposedly didn't want to be prostitutes that way. Admirable, but I listened to the shop nags he had post and to be kind...he ain't no P.

I don't think this is the same claim. I read similar reports about the BET Awards and Caesar Capriccio, who is allegedly Cat Glover's son.

Jesus. Would you give it a rest already? Cat has said that she did not have any children by Prince!

You already had a thread shut down in Associated Artists on this subject. So just quit it.
