Prince’s Sister Once Revealed the Late Star Predicted His Own Death: ‘It’s Very Clear’
Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson once revealed he called her in 2014 with alarming news — he was predicting his death.
“He said, ‘I think I’ve done everything I’ve come to do,'” she shared on 2017’s People Icons: Gone Too Soon.
“My dad and Prince always spoke in these types of riddles,” she said. “He knew [he was going to die soon]. And he was preparing me. It’s very clear.”
Prince died on April 21, 2016, from a drug overdose at 57. “The last day I saw him, we were making jokes,” Tyka added. “We hugged three times.”
Tyka told Entertainment Tonight in October 2016, “I’ve had two years to deal with it, but there’s 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 you’ll be where I’m at. I’m sorry that you’re hurting.”
Hollywood lost many icons in 2016.
