When Tyka says, "it wasn't hard at all" to hear he had passed sounds odd to me. Even when you know, if she did, that a loved one is very ill, it is still devastating when they pass. At least that's been my experience.

[@pachamama333]

Keigirl - totally agree, on all fronts. It all doesn't add up, and she said the opposite in the interview with Al Roker only the day before. Makes no sense. Fishy. And I agree with Brenda, even when you know it's coming - death is still incredibly hard, with someone you love. That's just the way it is. She's just a little too flippant and dismissive and cool about it, here. Somethings off.

[@DianeHughes45]

"not hard at all" who says this when a family member dies? Even ppl who know a family member has a terminal illness, it is still extremely difficult to accept. My oldest sister was on life support and the doctors said she was brain dead. I simply had to pray and say my goodbyes and walk out. I simply couldn't be there to see the plug pulled. Prince was a very private person, like every human being he had his own demons to fight. However, there yet remains something extremely suspicious and unanswered in his death. From the beginning there have been conflicting reports as to where the body was found. First it was said in his recording studio and then it was the elevator. Personally I feel the "elevator" version is some actual clue. Exactly what, well I guess that's up to the interpreter!

[@brendareid7774]

[@tooniemama6959]

Another thing, when Prince died, Tyka "claimed" that Prince had no "Will", yet now she says that she "prepared" herself "2-years" ago. Does something not sound right with her statements? If she was "close" to Prince, wouldn't she know for "certain" IF Prince had a "Will"? Secondly, Prince was a very charitable man and I know he would have set money aside for charities he believed in. Well, I guess we have to wait and see what Tyka and her siblings do with all the money.

[@lplante6911]

ToonieMama I read he was diagnosed with full blown Aids and that's why he knew eventually he was going to die. On his death certificate it said he weighed 112 lbs. that's pretty thin and others said he was up for 6 days straight before he died. I just hope he didn't suffer. I agree with you, Tyka seems pretty superficial, I saw an interview with Misty Copeland shortly after Prince died, and she couldn't hold back her tears. I don't think he was super close to his siblings but once he got ill, I think he wanted to make amends, or at least I hope he did and I hope they don't squander his money. Tyra's too happy in this video, she's loving being filthy rich now, I'd still be in mourning if I was her. I don't care how well prepared you are for someone's death, if you love someone it's still devastating.

[@tooniemama6959]

L Plante I take anything that Tyka say's with a grain of salt. She claims that they planned for "2-years". Why then did they have to "drill" open the VAULT? Prince did not give her the code or key to the VAULT? Too many conflicting stories & it just doesn't add up. Bremer is probably telling the family to keep quiet. People today don't die from AIDS; there is treatment for the disease. Makes no sense that Prince would stop taking medication for his "disease" (if he had one), yet pop illegal "Fentanyl" pills? Prince wasn't stupid. The most wonderful, brilliant Icon of our time......gone!!

[@lplante6911]

ToonieMama you make some valid points. I didn't know they had to drill open the vault. That speaks volumes. Prince did say in an interview that he did have plans to turn Paisley Park into a museum one day, but I'm sure that he didn't want his sister in charge, that's for sure. I just wish he would have made a will and because he didn't, it makes me suspicious about how he died. It doesn't seem that he was acting like someone who "knew" he was dying. I just still can't accept that he's gone. It's such a huge loss. I am disgusted that she said it wasn't hard at all when she got the call that he had died. That's just not normal. At the end of the day, we've lost an amazing person. I hope he's resting in peace. 🕊

[@tooniemama6959]

L Plante I agree. I really don't think Tyka knows much of anything about P's estate. To me, the whole interview seemed more like a PR than to discuss Prince's death.

[@tooniemama6959]

She says: "I had been preparing for 2-years, so I knew it was coming?" What was coming? You knew your brother was going to die? And then to say "It wasn't hard at all -- 2-second phone call; he's gone." I don't know if she was still in shock when she did this interview or what, but that to me, is a very cold response to the sudden loss of your brother. Just saying. And in the end, she is giggling, which is kinda creepy, imo.

[@lyndacraig4169]

Brooke Sun .... was on my own the day he passed but story did not break till about 6.30pm over here in the U.K. ....was a big Prince fan as a kid but hadn't really listened to him much in almost 30yrs. .... Only had 4 of his albums at the time. Dont know why but out of nowhere on that day I was playing all of his songs and researching all about him on the internet. 6 hours straight I was doing it. Then I was in the kitchen preparing tea when I saw a post from a Prince fan on Facebook saying he was gone! .... I Had to keep my face turned from my family because it was strewn with tears ....Felt like part of my childhood had died. That day he died till this one I have played his music for between 1-4hrs everyday since. Always wondered how strange it was that on that day he went without knowing and from a long absense I was playing his music nonstop for hours and researching him on the net from out of the blue.

I don't know, Tyka didn't sound very sincere when she said she is sorry we (fans/friends) are hurting to give it another year and half to be where she is now with Princes death, wth?!

[@tiffaniegreen1816]

Kandi Kane I think Prince wasn't very close to his family. I've read that they had an off again on again relationship due to her drug addiction. Plus, I read somewhere that they got close within the last couple of years! When he died, he's older brother Albert said he hasn't seen him in 15 years (this was on a ET interview). When he did the interview with Oprah he said that he wasn't speaking to his father. He got a restraining order against his brother who use to be head security at Paisley Park. His brother also had committed crimes. I read somewhere that he resented his mother because she chose another man over him! So, it could be that what we perceive as coldness is really her not being as close as should've been to him! But I don't know what her grieving process was like! I am not to judge. It seems like his family wasn't really a close family and that could be the reason why Prince didn't mention them in interviews.

Tyka acts completely different during this interview, compared to the one with the Today Show. Her comments are quite confusing.

Then here, she is saying "It wasn't hard at all, because I was preparing for 2-years." WHAT exactly was she preparing for? Is it because she knew his chronic pain was taking a toll on his health and his use of pain pills would eventually "end" his life? Or, did he have a terminal illness? WHAT was it, Tyka? You can't have it BOTH ways! The things she is saying is just stirring-up more controversy and we are all grieving his sudden death, and this is only making matters worse! I would rather Tyka and her family & friends not say anything at all, then to give us "half-truths". Prince had way too much going for him to just want to "end it all".

He had a bad flu which I had for four months and it killed many in Wisonsin. He just did nit rat enough and always wanted to,heal through music! Thry took this opportunity to fabricate a story around him and he knew he was in trouble as he did not want I take,even Percocet for,his pain. Yet chronic severe pain is a bitch! Imagine having his schedule and The Show Must Go On. He never quit! Tyka is hiding crap,and she sits as if we will believe her lies ! Some sister and he was pissed she could not stay clean. So maybe someday they will catch who,pit the da,n pills I his bottle,that killed him because he sure would never have taken anything that would do,this!

He built his,life and now you will nurse off his fruits of,labor which is not Prince! Ask me how I know this and I will say lay down ! That should tell,anyone who really knew him what I am saying! He said it and it meant something, so Tyka have fun but God,hates ugly and Prince is dead but more powerful now than when he was alive . Someone is,shaking in fear as they killed him! Why Tyka is all smiles ? Certainly not because she has had 2 years to,grieve ! This story is all lies! She should stop talking as some are going to,tell the truth and she will be walking in an orange jumpsuit ! Warner Tkyka, and those who were supposed to be his allies betrayed him PERIOD, and he knew he was a marked man!

Milly Moretti right is that all ppl know Prince by is purple rain ....damm

[@thehellokittypaywatchhello7183]

My mom just died this year I lost my mom she took really good care of me and I love her so much I cry I still graduated under the name and me

[@MM-dl9on]

She knew what for two years?. I didn't even know he had a sis until his death. She really needs to sit down and be humble

[@vasjaklun6008]

Or maybe you should....

[@laprimadennis303]

Gurl pls, STFU! That's Prince's sister. YOU take a thousand seats FOO..Hahaha...

[@shenyaet3350]

She doesn’t seem hurt about her brothers death at all. I have never met him and I’m still hurt 😢

[@trejonbolden8774]

Y'all so simple. She telling y'all the answer and y'all still blinded. Her brother new his time was up. That simple. Sold his sold. And the devil came to collect... Just like the actor Orlando Brown who ever calls crazy said. Prince new his time was up. That's why he was trying to be seen to show he was still lively and went on tour. Lastly, The Simpsons which predicts a ton of things had a episode where they killed prince. Before he ever died. Y'all are so simple. His time was up. So either he was killed. Or they sent him into hiding from the public. Either way his times up.

[@ight3817]

I never knew prince had a sister until now and I've been a a fan for years

[@ocky88]

Now we all know why. She kinda sucks.

[@coolco6159]

The more I watched her interviews, the more angry I am with Prince...why on earth did he not make a Will if he knew he was dying (for 2 years)....now all his well earned money goes to this Heartless sister of his...basically she doesn't give a damn how he died so long as he is dead. Oh she got a phone call for 1 second, not shocked or slumped to the floor with disbelieve (like most people would), instead "in her own word" - the news wasn't hard to take at all !! What the hell...especially he died suddenly in an elevator, not as if he had been ill in a hospital waiting to die for weeks! Everything she says here are so unbelievable and incredibly annoying to hear. I can almost imagine she probably jumped for joy and said good riddance now that he is dead, let me get my dirty hands into his money quickly.....she shocks me...yes she does

[@kandikane923]

Cool, I still believe there is a Will and she stinks of having something to do with its disappearance and why the hell she rushed to cremate his body? WTH?! Prince's 2 older sisters need to be in charge of his estate not cold hearted disingenuous Tyka.

[@coolco6159]

Fannie Dixon I'm completely devastating to even think about it now...why oh why

[@coolco6159]

Kandi Kane Definitely smell of fish....

[@kandikane923]

Becky, Tyka statements in this interview seem so cold to hear by Prince's friends/fans. Where was her public relations person or script writer before she spoke out on his passing it would have also been nice to hear from her the cause of his death that would have given me some closure but she says nothing but had 2 yrs knowing it as to happen because he had told her he's done everything he came to do then?

[@kandikane923]

Fannie, I am devasted over his passingand I'm not even related or know him but Prince never had a close relationship with his family and eventhough Tyka may not had a script writer, I have decided to give her the benefit of the doubt that she may have been nervous being on camera for the reason she made those insensitive statements and she didn't mean the way it came across. I am really praying for Prince's family and that they do the right things by his estate.

[@JulietsMan]

she is creepy and suspect

[@ashleypastorius1570]

his death seems suspect to

[@kevinrichards6288]

She doesn't act like she gives a shit that he's dead. Cold hearted is how she comes across.

[@naenaei]

MY God y'all. We should be protecting this man's great legacy. He was a beautiful, giving being who shared with us more than he had to. Stop the gossip as he would want us to. We're falling into the wrong hands. Whatever was wrong it wasn't public business, it was family business period.

[@talikamurray1388]

We really don't know that for because any beautiful man would come out and tell his women or wife about his HIV positive diagnosis in the past instead of keeping it a secret. Now I know that's why mayte first born was Sickly and the second time she had a miscarriage.

[@skygazer6898]

nae naei you are so right! I find myself talking, speculating to what happened to him. I guess it is human nature but he was a private person and the important thing is that he was a good, kind and generous man whom just happened to be a musical genius.

[@aprilwest9852]

nae naei I agree,

[@aprilwest9852]

I agree.

[@lynnerussell4263]

​@@talikamurray1388she doesn't have HIV nor does the 2nd wife, what that baby was born with was genetic both could have the gene. Mayte sister doesn't have children either

[@JanuaryGrl28]

How could he have done all he came to do when he told Arsenio Hall (2014?) that he'd like to teach music?

[@JanuaryGrl28]

The whole thing is just strange, strange, strange.

[@casbah7834]

Fannie Dixon and JanuaryGrl28 you are right. He also had said he wanted to do educational cartoons for kids as well as write the full musical scores for a broadway show. So I don't buy that either./

[@skygazer6898]

Prince was also working on a new sound and had big plans for this year

[@MichaelSevilla97]

​@@skygazer6898so heartbreaking that won't be released ✌️

[@nishani3]

I dislike this interview on so many levels! Honest to God, I wish that this interview never took place nor was aired. DISCLAIMER: here comes the run on sentence... If people who know the "real" cause of his death are not going to speak about it, knowing there are rumors swirling in the ethers and people who are still devastated,and grieving with no closure whatsoever, then those same people shouldn't do interviews that even remotely touch on the subject matter. Leave it alone or TELL the TRUTH. Neither of which happened in this blasted interview...all it did was make things worse damn it!

[@sabrina28]

right and sad. she talkign he planned his death. come on now he was so into GOD he knew if he killed himself its a sin. the interview to me is creepy and dont add up to me. ijs she the same sister who went to the media about prince and sold stories.

[@nishani3]

sabrina thegoodwitch I know right?! negative energies emanates from her. She is aloof and SADISTIC! She knows there are people all over the planet that are still devastated about her brother's passing, and this is the interview she delivers?!! Man WTF?! There has been no closure and her she comes with this BS. I dont want to hear from her or see her FACE!!! My ire is righteous right about now...

[@kandikane923]

Nishani, I felt the same way about the Tyka interviews, she needed to just shut up and not speak at all basically. I liked the interview with Prince's 2 older sisters with Al Roker so much better than this Tyka, she rubs me the wrong way.

[@sabrina28]

nishani3 she makes my skin crawl and stomach turn. i dont like seeing her face. funny thing is she us 2 years younger than prince. wow and her teeth wtf better get them fixed.

[@sehseh4350]

I respect what Tyka said about her brother. She has been the realest to speak out If you can read between the lines. Maybe it's hard for some to comprehend but he left signs & clues for his fans. We will never know what happened to him because Prince was PRIVATE.

[@carriepoe9106]

In another interview Tyka did for Daily Mail she said she “was picking out new earrings and clothes to wear” for Prince’s funeral. Little did Tyka know it would be 3 years till Prince passed. From the time he told her “his work was done”. I don’t believe Prince told Tyka that. I don’t believe anything she says. And who goes out to buy things to make themselves look great for a siblings funeral?!! WHO DOES THAT?!! No one I know! Yeah. Sorry. I call BS on that and everything else she says. 🤨 She sounds so cold and heartless when speaking of Prince’s passing. Wow

[@tinye3916]

I'm confused he won his master recordings after a 18 year battle right? So could that have meant he has done all he was sent to do? It's very disheartening that she knew he was going to die. The autospy report didn't say he had a terminal illnes or aids. So to think he lived a clean life up until he was ready to die is sad. Is that why he put his clothes on backwards and turned off his security cameras? I mean the doctor who sent his son to see Prince even though he was not licensed in the state of Minnesota, and the doctor that quit his job the day Prince died really have nothing to worry about. She saying he did this to himself and it does seem like she doesn't care. Yet, maybe preparing herself for this for two years she was also prepared for the heartless two word call. It really is sad that everything he fought for and worked so hard for has dwindle down to something like this.

[@sandrasmith7501]

" Finally becoming a reality?????" WAY TOO SOON!!! A 2 second phone call, Tyka??? And, I don't think when he said he had done what he came here to do, he was telling anyone goodbye!! Can't use that statement to cover the fact that the whole inner circle probably knew of the grave danger he was in because of his dependancy on prescription pain relievers.. So I guess we'll all just have to wait a year and a half so we can be where she is now.... don't care if she really was expecting him to die, expected or not, you're just not ready when it happens. He helped her, and probably others, get into rehab. Why did everyone wait until it was too late to show him the same compassion, ( Kirk)????? Don't care if I had to Baker Act him because he was refusing help, he would have gone!!! Guess his " people" were afraid of losing favor with him!!! In turn, he lost his life, like so many other souls are each and every day!!!!

[@warrenlightning8137]

I'm thinking that Will Smith called Prince to confirm him being home. Therefore, hence, the murder of precious Prince.

[@anitacontreras9476]

Dang they said the same thing about will smith calling Kobe before he died wtf. Hollywood is crazy. I would never want to be famous ever!!

[@strauqq1]

That's a reach, but ok.

[@Musiover00]

Prince was really lonely when his fans grieve harder for the loss of his life than his supposed “family” RIP Prince!

[@LoverBoyIsKrazy]

Another thing to think about it prince was so private in his life that having a house tour was disrespectful

[@season.of.renewel]

I agree but I think that it was a good idea they kept it as a museum. Being that there were several heir's to his estate, it could have been sold and demolished. It also allows for all his belongings to stay there instead of ending up at an auction house. That's just my opinion.

[@carlawilliams5-26-27]

Everyone's grief isn't going to look the way you think it should be!

[@babycakes4156]

In one interview on the Today Show...Tyka said she was taking Prince's death the hardest. Now in this interview on ET, she said it wasn't hard at all because Prince had stated 2 years before his death that he had done everything he'd come here to do. This is a glaring inconsistency. I pray that someone with ethics reopens this case and investigates his death. Something in the milk ain't white.

[@shauntrelllewis1502]

yeah it's called Nesquick

[@crazykidz9845]

Prince u will always have real family...

[@peggycash3791]

It’s so sad that it’s 2020 and still no one has found out who was responsible for taking him out ☹️

[@MrStewart-gu7ru]

She was prepared because she knew he was dying! He had to be in a lot pain and who would want to see a love one continue to suffer? Whatever illness he had, Prince, found comfort and was ready to except his fate. His sister had two years to prepare for his death, so they knew something..

Now I get why he was so introverted- his family is a narcissist

[@victoriablack4128]

And Prince was the biggest one of them all.

[@callmemonkh9020]

Yes, he had that. He had a tendance towards ' being bratty,' also. He was the Greatest Musician we will EVER SEE. Him...and Duke Ellington.

[@rmatthews716]

soul3121 don't understand what's going on....

[@nicolematheny4274]

Heartless, his blood never wanted anything more than to get their grubby Lil paws into his earnings, and estate. They cared nothing for him, and I say that about the whole lot Dad, Mom, none of them. We were his family, we loved and cherished this man for all he was and created. I love you Prince!! Peace, love, and be Wild, I'm glad u lived to see the Dawn!!

I miss him dearly,MAY you forever R.I.P.

[@Mureen2024]

His sister is evil WTF is wrong with her. She's so happy, sounds Suspicious

[@crrhough]

I never have felt it was accidental. Prince never ever did anything accidental. I believe a piano and microphone was his exit. I also believe he had been preparing for his exit for many many years. The way to find paisley park is his music. The way to fund everything he loved is paisley park. I do believe deep down on my heart, his body was wearing down and he was done. He had no more songs to write and no more performances to do. His time here was over.

[@kristineb.1458]

I think Mj and Prince is living together in a far place that no one knows.

[@Lynn-rf1kc]

Much will be revealed soon. Think reverse reflection and then deflection.

[@kimgomes2879]

🎸Prince said thir were a lot of thing he has to do he wasn't done yet!! Why would she say he told her he was done !! Something isn't right with what she said!! She doesn't show no sadness or hurt from his death, that puzzles me from watching his interviews he didn't seem like he was ready to go anywhere what do I know I don't know him personally but I followed his 🎶career and I listen to what he says I know he wasn't ready to die😪💜

[@doug575]

I get the feeling Tyka does drugs.

[@darleneseetramprince]
