If we have learnt one thing from the death of Prince (other than how everyone was suddenly a huge fan and had to post an emotional message on social media) it’s that when there’s will money involved the floodgates shall open.
A while back it was believed Prince’s sister was the sole heir to his millions (HERE), although ‘an aspiring rapper and gun-running felon in federal prison’ claims he could be the rightful heir.
He’s not alone in that claim, a multitude of people coming forward in the past few weeks trying to get their paws on some easy money, but this one might have a little meat to it.
Over to the Daily Beast:
[Carlin Q.] Williams’s mother, Marsha Henson, claims she had sex with Prince at a Kansas City, Missouri hotel in July 1976, court records show. Williams, whose hip-hop moniker is Prince Dracula, was born April 8, 1977…
Indeed, the Kansas City rapper has long insisted he was Prince’s son. On Facebook, a profile belonging to Carlin Qar-Tune Williams states he’s the “son of (Prince) Rogers Nelson ‘aka’purple rain man from Mn.” Williams, according to Facebook posts, has a son named “Cartoon Williams.”
Meanwhile, in a September 2015 post, Williams posted images of a child—along with one black-and-white professional image of Prince—with the words “My Family And My Dad.”
Due to the fact that Prince died without a will, which seems like some very poor planning, Williams stands to inherit the $300 million estate according to Minnesota law.
So what kind of person is this Carlin then? It ain’t pretty:
Court records paint a vivid picture of Williams’s troubled past: his rap sheet includes convictions for domestic violence, drug possession and distribution, and unlawful use of a weapon by a convicted felon. He was charged with driving on a suspended license, fleeing law enforcement and possession of a stolen vehicle in multiple separate incidences.
Six years ago, Williams—who was convicted of charges stemming from at least two incidences of domestic violence—forced his way into a woman’s home, pushed her to the ground, and assaulted her with a hot curling iron. A year later, according to court documents examined by The Daily Beast, he dragged his then-girlfriend “up several stairs, held her captive and then chased her down the street with a knife threatening to kill her.”
As everyone awaits the results of the DNA test you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t root for Williams landing that cash. Sounds like a real douchebag to me…
