Minnesota Judge Denies Request To Remove Executor From Prince’s Estate
Prince Roger Nelson died in 2016 from an accidental overdose, his sister Tyka and half-sister Sharon.
A petition by three of Prince’s six heirs to remove Comerica Bank & Trust as ex- ecutor of his estate has been denied by a Minnesota judge, citing it’s not in the estate’s best interest.
Sharon, Norrine and John Nelson, Prince’s much older half-siblings from his dad’s first marriage , filed the petition for Comer-
ica’s removal after they found out Comerica had moved the recordings in Prince’s vault from Paisley Park to a secure facility in California.
The three other heirs, Tyka, Prince’s only full sib- ling, and his 2 half brothers by his mom, Alfred Jack- son and Omar Baker op- posed removing Comerica.
Carver County District
Judge Kevin Eide rejected the petition on Monday (Dec 18) and instead named re- tired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice James Gilbert to serve as modera- tor and mediator between Comerica and the heirs.
Prince did not leave a will when he died in April 2016 of an accidental over- dose.

Diddy Diss By News Anchor Draws Outrage; NAACP Response
After revealing his inten- tions to purchase the Car- olina Panthers over last weekend, Diddy found his name being dragged through the mud by San Francisco re- porter KRON-TV’s Henry Wofford on Monday (Dec. 18) during a sports segment called The World According to Darya.
The TV reporter insinuated that Puffy wasn't serious about his announcement, saying that he was high and drunk during his Instagram video.
Wofford said to laughs from Darya, “The guy looks high right there in this video,” Wofford said. “He looks like he smoked a blunt and drank a 40. Come on, I’m not taking him seriously.”
News of Wofford's com- ments found its way onto Twitter, where he was criti- cized for his egregious re-

marks.
The NAACP issued a state-
ment regarding Wofford’s use of racist stereotypes to in- sult and belittle Diddy’s in- terest in purchasing the NFL team.
“Wofford’s (who sadly is Black) comments were an in- sult not only to Mr. Combs, but to all men of color who, despite high levels of achieve- ment and accomplishment, are marginalized according to ugly racist stereotypes.”
Wofford responded with a swift apology saying: "Diddy is a businessman who has the work ethic, success & con- tacts to run an NFL team. My response to @DaryaKRO- NFolsom question was re- garding if he's serious about buying the team. She laughed at my joke. The snippet takes things out of context. Sorry for any misunderstanding."
He later wrote a deeper apology explaining his faults in the matter.
