Prince’s Former Personal Assistant On How The Late Singer’s Family Is Doing

Robbie Paster, who worked as Prince’s valet and personal
assistant from 1984-1992, spoke to Access about Prince’s estate, Prince’s siblings Tyka Nelson and Omar Baker,
as well as speculation about any drug use.

Robbie, who has known Prince since 1979 and is still close
to Prince’s brother, Omar, told Access he was with Omar on Monday night.

“I’ve seen Tyka and I’ve seen Omar,” he told Access, adding,
“They’re together. It’s a very difficult thing.”

Regarding Prince and whether he has a will, Robbie said he has “no knowledge of the inner workings of Prince’s business affairs since 1992,” but did tell Access that Prince and his siblings cared for one another.  

As far as any rumors that Prince may have been suffering from drug addiction, Robbie said he hasn’t witnessed anything to corroborate that speculation.

“I never seen any of  that,” he told Access.

“When I was there, I never saw any of that and I oversaw all of his personal effects,” he continued, referencing Prince’s wardrobe and the hotel arrangements he handled for the musician.
