As previously reported, Prince did not leave a will at the time of his shocking death at the age of 57.
This has left family members scrambling to claim a part of the singer’s massive fortune.
But Carlin Q. Williams claims he’s basically entitled to every last penny because he is the late artist’s only true heir.
No, Williams is not just reciting a line from Game of Thrones.
He’s claiming to be PRINCE’S SON!
According to CBS News, Williams has filed his paternity claim in Carver County, Minnesota, against the late singer’s estate, alleging to be the “sole surviving legal heir.”
He’s requesting a DNA test and says that his mother, Marsha Henson, had unprotected sexual intercourse with Prince in a Kansas City hotel room in July of 1976.
Henson has made the same claim in legal documents.
Nine months later, their story goes, Williams came into this world as a result of Prince’s sperm.
On May 6, a judge in Minnesota authorized the use of Prince’s blood for DNA testing to determine “parentage issues.”
A vial of the musician’s blood was extracted by the Midwest Medical Examiner shortly after his death on April 21, while Prince’s remains have since been cremated.
Prince and ex-wife Mayte Garcia lost their newborn son in 1996 to Pfeiffer Syndrome.
At the time of his passing, Prince had no known will and no living children.
His body was found in an elevator at his Paisley Park compound in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
The iconic artist’s autopsy and toxicology results are still pending; and his cause of death is being investigated by the DEA and U.S. attorney’s office.
A criminal probe is underway because it’s possible that physicians in the area over-prescribed pills to Prince, with tests confirming that Percocet was in his system when he died.
We’ll continue to update our site with news on what caused Prince’s passing as soon as it becomes available.
We’ll also pass along the results of Williams’ paternity test once those are made public.
