QUEEN OF SOUL WOULD BE SICK OVER FAMILY’S $80M BATTLE
-
A RETHA FRANKLIN’S devastated lover of 30 years claims she would be “heartbroken” by her family’s brutal bust-up over her $80 million estates!
In a no-holds-barred legal showdown, two of Aretha’s sons are facing off against two of their own brothers and the “Respect” singer’s niece for a piece of the pie.
But her longtime partner, Willie Wilkerson, has walked away from the legal brouhaha and is breaking his silence for the first time ever in an exclusive National ENQUIRER interview.
“Anyone with common sense knows Aretha would not be happy with the situation in court!” Wilkerson told The ENQUIRER.
