A man claiming to be Prince’s biological son has been pictured for the first time and is demanding a DNA test to prove the Purple Rain star was his father.
Carlin Q. Williams is 39-years-old and has now filed legal papers claiming that Prince was his daddy.
Williams, who hails from Missouri, claims that his mother - Marsha Henson - met Prince at the Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri in July 1976.
According to TMZ, Henson claims that she had wine with the star and had unprotected sex.
In a signed affidavit, Henson claimed that she didn't have sex at all with anyone else during the six weeks before and did not have sex with another man during her pregnancy.
Carlin is now asking for Prince's DNA to be tested to prove his paternity.
Up to 700 people have claimed to be Prince's half-siblings in a race to stake a claim on the star's $300million fortune.
Hundreds of people have come forward since the death of the Purple Rain singer two weeks ago.
Harvey Morse, of Morse Genealogical Services, told the Daily Mail they were busy sifting through an enormous amount of claims.
"Our phone has been ringing off the hook, I would say we have received between 600 and 700 calls," he said.
"They run the gamut, literally from 'We lives in the same area so we must be related', to 'We have pictures of Prince at our family reunion.'
"But I like official documents. Birth, marriage, death, divorce certificates, census records, that sort of thing - papers that were drawn up without any thought of this eventuality."
It comes as a judge has ordered a DNA sample of the late singer be taken to determine the legitimacy of claims.
Lawyers charged with untangling his multimillion-dollar fortune can get a sample of his blood from the coroner.
TMZ reports that there’s a sample of the Raspberry Beret singer’s blood is currently being held at the Medical Examiner’s office for testing.
The decision comes after a man claiming to be the secret love child of Prince began legal proceedings to prove his paternity - and could inherit a slice of Prince 's multi-million fortune if the allegation is found to be true.
Heir Hunters International has confirmed it is working on the case of an unidentified man in his 30s whose mother allegedly had several liaisons with the Purple Rain singer in the 1980s and according to them he's got a strong case.
The singer, who passed away on April 21 age 57, died without a will or an heir leaving his fortune to be divided up between his nearest relatives.
At a probate hearing in Mineapolis the judge avoided putting a number on the estate's value, though some estimates have claimed it is $300million.
