| The late musician is said to owe money from his 2006 divorce |
The 57-year-old musician passed away on April 21, 2016 but Cousins Law Firm in West Palm Beach, Florida, has filed a claim with his estate over a $599,735.63 bill, allegedly from his and Manuela Testoliniโs 2006 divorce.
Patrick Cousins told TMZ that he had agreed with Prince that the singer did not have to pay him until all the loose ends of the case were tied up. He said he wrapped up everything on April 1, 20 days before Princeโs sudden death.
Prince passed away at his Paisley Park home after an accidental overdose of the drug fentanyl but his sibling Tyka previously admitted she wasnโt entirely shocked by his sudden death.
Speaking about coping with his death, she said: โIt wasnโt hard at all. It was a two-word phone call: โHeโs gone.โ And I knew who he meant. I hung up the phone. An employee of Prince called. I have been preparing for two years, so I knew that it was coming.โ
And Tyka claims Prince alluded to his death two years ago.
She explained: โHe said it a couple of years ago: โIโve done everything that Iโve come to doโ. I was crushed for about two years.
โIโve had two years to deal with it, but thereโs a lot of people that have only had from April to now, so I guess I would say give it another year and a half and maybe youโll be where Iโm at. Iโm sorry that youโre hurting.โ
