I need to put my claim in before the deadline:

Yeah, just some humour to add to the circus. If my claim was true, P would have fathered a child at 2 years old.

[Edited 7/28/16 11:22am]

We desperately need that, I appreciated it

No joke. Me too.

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 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.

If it's true Tyka wouldn't get jacksh*t, this unknown person would be sole heir and have full control over an estate of a person they had not desire to know in life. This would be a clusterf*ck all around. Sure we'd all know that Prince could father healthy children and then what?

I'm afraid the court will need to see a picture of claimant doing the splits before it can write an opinion.

This comment made me spit coffee on my monitor

NinaB said:

I just can't see a woman getting pregnant 4 P, raising the child alone & never telling P. Also can't see P knowing he had a child & not seeing/supporting them. Only scenario that seems possible 2 me is P impregnating a woman he had a one night stand or fling with & supporting/seeing his child in secret. [Edited 7/28/16 4:59am]

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

She sounds like a cool chick if she got knocked up and didn't go begging Prince for money.

.

But yes hard to believe and got to think it's less than 50% probability this is all true.

I'll believe it when it's 100% proven.

I'mma wait this one out. It's too strange. For all we know someone could have paid someone at the diagnostic center to falsify the test results in order to swindle Tyka and the rest of P's siblings out of their rightful inheritance. Hell, the person performing the test could even know the mother. I say send it to another center to be tested, with false names attached to the test tubes. I don't put anything past a human being/mind these days. Also, this is the same sight that said P had hiv/aids Now all of a sudden they do a 360. Smh...

endiadj said:

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

This is what gets me upset. If that person (and or his mother) have known this whole time, but never thought to tell Prince? He had a right to know. But now crawl out of the woodwork for 'their rightful inheritance' It's not right.

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...

You know what? They do not HAVE to, no one is forcing them to. They kept quiet about it during Prince's living years. They could have carried on. They sure conveniently are crawling out now in lieu of that inheritance aren't they? I do not feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for Prince. He had a right to know.

But if their is a legitimate offspring, don't they get it all - without a will? I hope Tyka is part of that, but i don't know how they'll call it in this case. STILL makes me curious if there really is a will somewhere and they just don't know where it is. I mean, he FOUGHT SO HARD to protect his music, his livelihood. Seems hard to believe he wouldn't have given some idea to protecting them still after he left us (despite him possibly not caring for 'earthly things' once passing).

MMJas said:

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.

Me too. I would only be wishing he had offspring that he KNEW ABOUT. The possibility that the son and/or his mother knew all along and did not tell him...that's upsetting.

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.

There was an article online some time ago about a young man who did not want to come forward because that might void the financial agreement reached with his "father." There might be a clause in the agreement - if this story is true - that lays out what he would receive in the event of his father's death.

Well they owned up to in this article:

"Our source also says that the Santa Monica company has sequenced the Artists entire genome. " you can recover a person's entire medical history from there Genime. He definitely did not have HIV/AIDS" she told us." In the interest of disclosure this contradicts an article written by my colleague, Kristen Peach."

Great, maybe it isn't true! My only thought though: WHERE did they get the material to test and WHEN was it taken? They are indicating they have dna that isn't the same as what all the other "heirs" are being tested against? Because the timeline when the sample was obtained does matter.

What I'm finding even more interesting though is that the author is continually changing the article yet not indicating all these edits he has made to his original article anywhere.

[Edited 7/28/16 11:07am]

That's what I'm wondering: where did they get his DNA? OR....is that company the one that did Prince's initial DNA sequencing after his death?

So confusing.

Is this the picture? I hadn't seen it until just now...

Some random company has your full genetic coding. Well...

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?

I agree. Doesn't seem right at all.

There HAS to be a will in some forgotten corner of Paisley Park.

There has to be.

sunlite said:

The young man favors Prince as a teenager. The black & white photoshoot he did around Mpls. especially. If he is indeed the son of Prince, then he left the world more than just his music. And that can't be a bad thing. Whether he knew him or not isn't his fault.

Dead on.I was thinking the same.He favors a 1970's Prince. I am taking a seat on the couch with the rest of the crew.Pass me a drink somebody....

If Prince had a "secret" son, he would have put him in a will. If someone was really Prince's child, why would they only wait until after his death to make the claim? This "son" says he never met Prince...Does anyone really believe that Prince would not wanted to meet his own child?

kmama07 said:

why do so many people assume he wasn't told /didn't know? My feeling is he knew all along, took care of business and it has been the mother /child's decision to stay out of the limelight. Now that Prince is gone, why shouldn't ANY child of his step up as a claimant? And why is everyone feeling so sorry for Tyka? Prince had certainly taken care of her over the years and it isn't as if they had been extremely close on a consistent basis.

Agree with all you've said kmama07.

It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out.
