A DNA test was recently done by James Brown’s widow to show that the late music legend is the father of little James Brown II. The DNA test confirms the paternity of a son of a woman who claims to be the singer’s widow. The attorney for the little tyke said that the 6-year old boy was tested in April, before a paternity test was ordered by a judge. While the results of the court-ordered test has yet to be released, Robert Archer, PhD, director of Genetic Identity labs of Eugene, Oregon says that “If that was James Brown’s bone we tested, that’s James Brown’s kid.” The report the lab did dated April 18, 2008 says “The alleged father (James Brown) cannot be excluded as the biological father of the child since they share genetic markers” and that “the probability of paternity is 99.999975.”

The Godfather of Soul James Brown may have been dead for quite a while but his trustees still aren’t letting him rest in peace. According to a new report, the said trustees of his estate are questioning the paternity of James Brown II, the son of Brown’s widow Tomi Rae Hynie. A South Carolina judge has just ordered a paternity test for the supposed youngest son of the late musician to bring closure to the issue. The lawyer representing Tomi Rae said that she’s never objected to a paternity test even saying that “She’s said that she was in favor and would do the test, provided that the other children also took the test. She didn’t feel like her son should be singled out.” It’s war of the spawns!

I think Biggie and Diddy said it best that the “mo’ money you come about, the mo’ problems you see”. James Brown’s problems are even following him to the grave. Five of the music legend’s kids are trying to get their late father’s will scrapped in an attempt to get money for themselves that he had marked for his grandkids and needy children.
They are alleging that their father’s ex-advisors used undue influence to get him to create charitable trusts to help themselves but the will shows that the trusts leave money for the education of Brown’s grandkids. Buddy Dallas, one of Brown’s advisors, calls the charges “an act of desperation.”

Velma Warren Brown, a 73-year-old Georgia woman who was James Brown’s first wife, is the latest to step in line for a piece of the late Godfather of Soul’s inheritance, claiming that they never officially divorced. She is seeking a court declaration that the music icon never served her with divorce papers four decades ago. Oh my hell, what do we do with these female gold diggers, at the age of 73 when she doesn’t know for sure if she is going to wake up then next morning alive or not yet she wants the money so that she can die rich even if she couldn’t live like one. I have to say that the obsession with money that our society has is quite unparalleled. Thank goodness I am not a filthy rich person or else I would have scores of women entering my life just for my money not for what I am and what I stand for, well if I would be rich that would matter I could be an insane person like Michael Jackson and yet enjoy the wonders of a woman’s life.

James Brown may be long gone but that doesn’t mean that he’s safe from all the tabloids.
The deceased singer’s kids are all grief-stricken not because their dad is dead but that a large amount of his money has been deemed missing.
An investigation looked into the handling of Brown’s estate and told a judge that David Cannon, a former trustee and co-executor of the late singer’s will, may have misappropriated up to $7 million. A 10-day deadline has been given to give back $370,000 and a 20-day deadline to pay $30,000 for legal fees and to produce other documents.
