Sorry, Carlin Q. Williams; you’ve been eliminated in the Prince Inheritance Sweepstakes.
Williams, a Colorado prison inmate who claimed to have been the “1999” singer’s son, has been ruled out as a possible heir, the Associated Press reports.
Williams had previously claimed that his mother had unprotected sex with Prince in a Kansas City, Missouri, hotel room in 1976.
The 39-year-old inmate, from Kansas City, is currently serving time on a firearm charge.
Back in May, Williams asked a court to expedite and prioritize testing of people who claimed a “parent-child relationship” with the musician.
Numerous people have filed papers claiming that they are heirs to Prince’s fortune, which has been estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Prince died April 21 at age 57 of an accidental prescription drug overdose. Shortly after his death, his sister, Tyka Nelson, filed papers saying that a will for the singer had not been found.
In lieu of a will, Bremer Trust, National Association has been appointed special administrator of the musician’s estate.
Williams’ attorneys and Bremer have not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
Prince's Death: 5 Intriguing Internet Conspiracy Theories (Video)
1. "The Simpsons" predicted Prince's death. The 19th installment of the "Simpsons" staple "Treehouse of Horror" featured a segment in which family patriarch Homer Simpson offs a number of celebrities, including the Purple One, who Homer kills with the singer's own uniquely shaped guitar. Some have taken this as evidence that the beloved animated comedy had foreknowledge of the singer's demise, eight years before it actually occurred,apparently at the hands of the Illuminati.
2. Prince thought elevators were evil. In an interview with "CBS This Morning," music executive L.A. Reid revealed that Prince once told him that the elevator was "the devil." A spooky coincidence, given that Prince was found in the elevator of his Paisley Park home on the day of his death. Also giving fuel to internet chatter: The Prince track "Let's Go Crazy," which begins with a sermon-like speech and contains a line about the elevator trying to "bring you down."
3.Prince predicted his own death. Prince had a brief and somewhat awkward involvement with social media. His last Instagram post shortly before his death contained a picture of him which reportedly also contained the since-deleted message, "Just When U Thought U Were Safe...." Prince was prone to mysterious pronouncements, and this one has been interpretated by the more conspiracy-prone corners of the internet to mean that he knew he was in danger.
4. Prince predicted his own death ... again. During his final appearance, during a party at Paisley Park just after his reported treatment for an overdose and days before his death, Prince reportedly told attendees, "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers." You can probably figure out where this is going.
5. Prince was offed after spreading the word about chemtrails. Ah, chemtrails; they're like the conspiracy community's own bat signal, streaking across the sky in a call to action. This interview, in which Prince discussed chemtrails, has sparked speculation that the Illuminati might have done him in.
Of course, if you want to be spoonfed what the MSM has to say about Prince's death, watch TheWrap's roundup of what news outlets have reported in the week since the "Purple Rain" singer died.
