Allegedly, Tyka Nelson, Sister of Music Icon Prince, Has passed away

Twin Cities, Minnesota, is reportedly mourning the loss of Tyka Nelson, a talented musician and the sister of the legendary artist Prince. She was 64 years old. Born on May 18, 1960, Tyka had been battling illness, which led her to withdraw from a farewell concert earlier this year. The news of her alleged passing was shared by her son, President Nelson, on social media, with her cousin Charles ‘Chazz’ Smith expressing the family’s sorrow in a heartfelt tweet: “Our family is very saddened to share the news of my cousin Tyka Evene Nelson who passed away this morning.”

Tyka Nelson was not just Prince’s sister; she was a gifted R&B artist in her own right. Growing up in a musically rich family, she released several albums, including ‘Royal Blue’ and ‘A Brand New Me.’ Her music resonated with many, showcasing her unique voice and personal lyrics. Tyka’s notable track, ‘Marc Anthony’s Tune,’ even made it to the Billboard Hot R&B chart. Despite her success, she often felt overshadowed by her brother’s monumental fame.

Tragically, Tyka’s passing comes just eight years after Prince’s untimely death, which left a significant void in the music world. She was married to Maurice Phillips and is survived by her six children: Danielle, Crystal, Chelsea, Rachard, Sir Montece Laeil, and President LenNard Laeil Nelson. Her sister, Sharon Nelson, reflected on Tyka’s legacy, expressing a deep sense of loss and a hope that she is now in a better place.

As Tyka Nelson leaves behind her music and her family, she also carries the memory of her brother and their shared love for music. The impact she had on the R&B scene will not be forgotten, and her story continues to inspire many.
