B.B. King Reps Blame Money For Ridiculous Allegations


Earlier this week two of the late B.B. King's eleven children demanded an autopsy on their father's body after accusing his manager and long time assistant of poisoning the 89-year-old blues singer to death [click here if you missed that].

Reps for King's estate claim it all boils down to money...

B.B. King's lawyer Brent Byrson tells The NY Daily News,
“My guess is the children and grandchildren don’t like the fact he’s leaving them $3,000 and $5,000 each and then leaving the rest to his lineage for education. B.B. did not have a very high formal education, and he wanted to have his lineage go to college, so he set up a trust that would pay for college and other expenses… “There are millions, but not the 20 or 30 million that’s been reported.”
“There’s no basis in reality for these ridiculous allegations… (Three doctors) all stated he was receiving the utmost professional care at home, which is where Mr. King wanted to be. He didn’t want invasive treatment.”
Toxicology reports are pending.
