A representative for Prince breaks silence on report that Jay-Z offered $40 million for the late singer's unreleased music. Rumor has it, the Roc Nation founder has met Prince's sister Tyka Nelson in an effort to "snap up all the unreleased Prince music."

L. Londell McMillan, an advisor to Prince's estate, tells Billboard that he has "no knowledge of any discussions in that report." He asserts that "there is no sale [of Prince's music assets], and those responsible for the assets are not in discussions with anyone regarding a sale."

TMZ previously reported that Jay-Z flew Tyka and her husband Maurice Phillips to meet him several weeks ago. According to family sources, the "Ni**as in Paris" hitmaker made an offer around $40 million "to get the overall deal for [Prince's] streaming rights."

Editors' Pick

While Tyka is Prince's only full sibling, she must get approval "from all the brothers and sisters, in addition to the trust that is managing the estate."

Representatives for Jay-Z and Tyka haven't responded to a request for comment.
