A man has filed paperwork in Carver County, claiming to be Prince's biological son. The man does the action just days after a court ordered DNA testing of Prince's blood in anticipation of potential paternity claims.
Carlin Q. Williams from Kansas City, Missouri, claims to be the sole heir of the late music icon. He is requesting a DNA test to prove that he's the son of the "Purple Rain" hitmaker. He also petitions to be determined as Prince's "sole surviving legal heir."
The court documents feature a statement from Williams' mother Marsha Henson, who said that she had unprotected sex with Prince in July 1976 in Kansas city and she conceived Williams that day.
On Friday, May 6, an order of genetic testing was filed in Minessota to allow DNA testing on a sample of Prince's blood. The results of that test could then be used to settle any potential claims of paternity against the late pop star. Though his body was cremated shortly after his death on April 21, the Midwest Medical Examiner has extracted and kept his blood, which could be used during the investigation process.
The filing also recognizes "that parentage issues might arise and that timing can be of concern when conducting genetic testing."
