Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, insisted that there's no tension between her and her siblings amid rumors that they're feuding over the late singer's $300 million estate. Tyka said that they remained "united."
She took to Facebook to clear things up, writing, "To my knowledge... No One in my family has fought about anything, and least of all me... But I must admit I think it's funny that I'm the one they say, 'Stormed out...' or that 'We are at war' Me? Us? Really? Where was I when all that happened?"
Tyka also revealed that Prince's funeral was delayed until August. Though the "Purple Rain" singer's ex-wives Manuela Testolini and Mayte Garcia planned to hold a memorial on Sunday at the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in Minnetonka, Minnesota, Tyka insisted that's not the official one.
"Let me make myself VERY CLEAR! I nor my brother's remains will be present at any Memorial or Funeral services, until the families Memorial/Funeral/Tribute," Tyka stated. "The grief process is a unique experience to each individual and Therefore I support any and all Memorials or Funerals that have happened and/or are being planned... However I will Not be in attendance, because I feel that once... is enough."
The family originally planned to have a private funeral for Prince on April 23, but it was canceled. "My brother was a Very Private man and so a Funeral had been planned for Saturday April 23rd," Tyka revealed. "But on the evening of Friday April 22nd while we were in the process of inviting a small group of family and friends, those Funeral plans had to be sadly aborted."
