This means his mother never explained his father to him.

Until now. How believable is that? His mother scammed him into this.

Unless you expect some sane reasoning from Anthony's side.

He even mentions his sexual orientation!

How sad must one be to do so?

.

Boohoo!!

I am so straight and so pity because blah whatever.

That is silly and that is embarassing.

He mentioned it because he lives in eastern Washington, apparently not a place known for its broad acceptance of non-white, not straight, non-religious people.

He's opened up to shut this gossip down, and shown me at least the sort of damage that discussing shit about people we don't know, beyond anonymous screen names, can do.

I am, too. So sorry, especially for the Jethro comment. I was making a joke at the expense of this young man. So if you're reading this, I am very sorry. I wish you peace and love and happiness in this life and I truly hope that you find your father and his family some day.

Heck I feel bad. But at the same time wanna tell him he found a home here, This is awesome he wrote this I think BIG to him.

I wish we could let him know it's ok and it's not his fault and that we are here for him. His damn mom needs to be ashamed of herself

This is a lesson for us all not to pre-judge people or situations that we don't have the facts on. Lesson learned.

Non-white issues are Ameria's.

Non-straight should be no problem unless you blurb about it at all occasions like this post someone qouted.

Relgion: same. Does not play a role in normal day to day life except for normal decency rules.

He should not have submitted to a DNA test in such a high profile case.

He should be angry at his mother and sue her instead.

But he did not think of that yet.

Why do Americans appear to think so weirdly?

Now, we really need to apologize for prying into this young man's life and let him be. Anthony Stamen just posted this in rebuttal to all the misinformation in the media and the net:

.

To all of my friends(a weird story for you) and new stalkers(Prince.org folks and lipstick alley, maybe more eventually), a bit of info concerning this article from the perspective of me: On April 23, 2016 I watched the SNL Memorial episode dedicatd to Prince, I proceeded to cry for the next hour as I watched. Every kid who didn't know a parent has that someone amazing they wish they were, and for the little darker kid(not sure if that's PC I grew up around mostly white people) not a lot of famous people could be my dad, and Prince was the only one I knew who looked remotely like me. I wasn't just sad because a dream was dying, but realizing that if Prince, wealthy as he was, died, my probable broke-ass dad would most likely die before I ever met him.

.

I spent a year in a new city and hadn't made many friends and with this new stress, I was a bit off kilter to say the least. Then my mom got a hold of me mid may(via phone by the way, did not receive notification or know about those messages on the picture until the article), we were estranged, among withholding the information of my dad, I also had some other grudges I was holding. Once she gave me the news that she thought he was my dad I didn't know what to think, but I do know I lost the ability to sleep, and realized if this were true I would need to act fast or I may never know.

.

It was hard to not get caught up, wondering if it could be true, and know if it was I would be devastated and excited. The thought of having a wonderful dad, but never be able to see him, as I had been fearing for weeks now. The joy of having a family of color that was mine that I could get to know, that would understand me in a way others in my life, though wonderful, could not. The nervousness that they might hate me. Honestly through experience of life I just assumed even if I was his son someone would figure out a way to keep me from getting any of the money, and only pursued this because I needed to know. Not wanting to because I knew that a big possibility existed I wasn't and people might find out who I was anyway, but that's just reality.

.

My mom's mental stability as she's getting older is not 100% solid, so the possibility existed she incorrectly remembered, someone tricked her, or she really had just kept this from me as some devotion to Prince as to not ruin his life. The uncertainty in me, and the certainty my mother expressed in private, drove me to make contact and arrange a test. The facts were I was born in Minneapolis, MN on May 31,1987(My mom and Prince had a bigger possibility for meeting since they both lived there during the time period around my probable conception date ), I don't to this day know who my father is, and apparently my mother may have been in proximity to Prince very often as she frequented his club, not too mention the number of people through my life that had said I looked like Prince(I never for sure saw it, until my mom said this I thought everyone was just being nice racist, now I think perhaps the resemblance was more than I believed, I'm not very photogenic I think<or just making excuses so I feel better, haha>, and also I'm only 5'8", I just started lifting a lot the last few years to take the stress off and probably look bigger in the non body shots).

.

Apparently it was enough with my mom filing an affidavit, with her claims and knowledge, to arrange a test, but after doing the test I received the results that said 0% chance, so the search for my father goes on, but I felt relieved I managed to get the test and know, and thought I got away scott-free with sealed court documents, but apparently someone messed up and the next thing I know I get a weird friend request on Facebook, which I accept because I thought it was probably someone from the political groups I frequent on Facebook wanting to talk more. Clicking on his profile to make sure it wasn't a troll, I see his first post, a picture of me saying he just put out an article, crazy info ripped from the internet, talking about me being Prince's son, and I freaked(I have pretty bad social anxiety, and this happened real fast), shut my stuff down and kept looking the internet over for things on me, trying to clear info, and keep track of what was being leaked. I found a blog where they had literally known what states and cities I had been in, when, and what had happened on my Facebook. I guess that's just the world these days.

.

After taking a day to think about it and absorb, and getting over the fact that somehow I got the brunt end of being sorta famous with out the benefits, I decided to contact the paper and see if they would correct themselves, but we see how that worked out, some media guys, just ridiculous. I think some people have caught on and believe my claim that I am not, I just wanted to put out my story to any who would listen since that paper apparently needs news, so whatever. I hope you all will understand I'm a perfectly reasonable person and tried to leave this at the negative test, and in no way wanted to harass or disrespect a hero to so many or his family, I just wanted to know something that I wasn't sure on, because apparently knowing who my dad is meant more to me than I realized.

.

Now I'm just a guy who has to get to work most days at a regular job who ended up in a shitty area for a bi-sexual, partially African American, atheist to get stuck in, all because of this craziness, and now saving up to get back west, and try it a little different. Doing what I can to get by, and probably have to spend the next couple weeks in the gym due to some unkind comments, I just hope I managed to get ahead of this in time to avert any further damage or disinformation, and I imagine most of you will be disinterested after this(or at least hope) And I sincerely hope you all have a good day, and realize I just need to get over people looking at me and remember I'm a perfectly fine person. I will be taking my search for my father elsewhere, and try and dig through the catacombs of my moms deteriorating mind(she gets by, but I think her youth is being remembered incorrectly). If you have a question message me, I'll try to get back to you when I can. Silver lining, my alias of Snow caught on for a little bit, lol.

Ugh I feel terrible. If you're poking around here, Anthony, I'm so sorry.

Just logged on really quick to say wow! I feel totally horrible for stalking him. If he sees this I want to say I am sorry and hope one day you find your father. We really are great group of people.

.

ETA: now by stalking I mean looking up his fb as well as his moms. I along with others here were curious even though from the get go I had a feeling he was not Princes son. I really feel bad Anthony had to go through this.

Actually his name was leaked (accidentally, it seems), so he did not step out until after his name appeared in the SMO article and his life was discussed online.

While America's racial issues have a uniquely American flair to them, it is most definitely not the only place on the planet with such issues.

If being compassionate is stupid, then so be it.

It is over. He shut it down and I respect that. This will pass for him because he addressed it directly.

I just saw that too. Is Kiowa and Galpin a nice area? The reason I ask is cos the value of Kiowa is high and if I recall the house was torn down, so in essence, it is just land. Same with Galpin, is that not where the Gett Off house was? Where I am from, land is not that high.

They are also willing to take the house of the list for Omar. So I wonder if the houses his siblings live in are on that list.

See http://www.mncourts.gov/m...ults_1.pdf

Read the name.

We do not need gossip channels to read the truth.

So if we consider the proper channels he chose to come out with more unnecessary details.

He still doesn't know his father.

He still has no mother to talk to but to sue.

The whole Anthony case gives enough of an idea about how one works.

If their hope disappears he throws all of his issues on the table and says he'll hide under a rock.

That is not an adult way of dealing with life.

You have just proven my point. The legal eagles can comment better than I can, but when a court document is sealed in the US, it means that you and I should not be able to look up public court records and find the person's name. That's what sealed means. The clerk made a mistake and posted this with the public files (that's why I said "accidentally"). It's not the first time it has happened with this case.

I will not judge him for what he posted on FB when he had every reason to believe that his sealed file would remain so. There are two ways of dealing with it: one is to say nothing -- your preferred way (I'd respect that, too) and the other is to address the curiousity publicly to end the speculation. He chose the latter. I don't judge him; you do. It's not our business either way.

He says we can message hum and since I'm one of the first to have mentioned him here, I am going to do just that and offer my apologies and support. He needs it. I know it would have come out regardless but I feel responsible amd I can't sleep knowing that.

Don't feel bad, SMO are responsible for this mess and obviously his mom for misleading him. We all jumped on the bandwagon once his name was out there, me included.

I wish him well and he deserves some luck in tracking down his real father.

New court documents have been posted on the list of properties to be sold. PP no longer on the list. Omar Baker has posted an affidavit to say he wants to keep his mom's house. The Special Administrator wasn't aware of this when the initial list was drafted. Looks like it won't be a problem for him to keep it.

So far it only looks like Minnesota properties are listed. Is that all or was everything else sold?

Actually, Bremer Trust is asking Omarr to present documentation that he has a life estate interest in the house. Additonally, if no documentation is provided, Omarr can buy the house from the Estate and the value of the house can be deducted from his portion of his inheritance.

Did Mani get the house in Canada - Bridal Way as part of the divorce settlement or does it still belong to P, not sure if it was ever sold? I think Tyka's house isn't on the list of properties. Also didn't P buy a house for Larry Graham?

Turks and Caicos is on the list but not yet evaluated, wow, just checked some of the property over there and the average price ranges from cheapest being 10 million.

Mani got the Canadian house. I heard it was up for sale now. I don't know about Tyka's situation, she filed all the paperwork, she's basically in charge to some degree of somethings. LG, no clue.

Both properties are near lakes. Galpin property is pretty much all the undeveloped land around Lake Lucy and Lake Ann. Kiowa [img:$uid]http://i68.tinypic.com/2rz718p.jpg[/img:$uid] Galpin [img:$uid]http://i65.tinypic.com/1538voo.jpg[/img:$uid] There are some really nice homes going up on Galpin across the street from the land Prince owns. Starting prices are in the $800,000s. http://www.gonyeahomes.co...entz-farm/

That is mad money. Here in Alabama, you could have almost a mansion starting at $800k. Most 1/2 acre lots here are about $20k (cleared).

Must be nice land since it is near lakes. I know the Kiowa house probably has utility services to it, but $619k ( I think was listed in Appendix A) is a lot. That is why I was asking about the locations.

I loved the architectural style of the Gett Off house. I was always curious on how the layout was inside. It was a shame he bulldozed that place.

I know it's only property and a house doesn't make a home, but it's making me feel so sad to see everything he worked so hard for being sold off and yeh, I know it's his fault for not having a damned will. Just makes it seem so final, his footprint of his life (obviously not his music and legacy) disappearing.....

I was wondering if P had put it on the market. Doesn't look like he used it, as it doesn't have his personality stamped on it apart from the purple path....

I am with you on how you feel. I wonder what his intentions were when he purchased the land. I am not even gonna touch the will issue.

I have heard rumors of Prince owning property in France. I know it is not on the list. Maybe the items on the list are considered "quick sale" items and are not total land and homes he owned.

Since reading the Omar clause, I am inclined to believe that the homes of Kirk and the siblings are not listed as well.

I am still interested in the other Vault locations and warehouse locations (I thought I read somewhere there were off site locations that had clothing and things).

I thought the home in Canada had been sold and the current seller is the one who bought it from Prince/Mani (who ever had possesion after the divorce).

The house listed in January (?) is pretty cool and very reasonable. Not sure of the location and area.
