Martin slammed the rumors about her son's paternity, claiming she has been plagued by devastating accusations for years. She noted the intensity of these rumors skyrocketed after Carter's death in 2022.

According to Martin, she and her son have received "death threats and other forms of harassment" over the years. Although she initially refused to address these "baseless" questions and speculations, she noted it was time to clear the air.

"I have been very fortunate to be able to shield my son from all of it so far, but as my son is getting older and is learning how to read, I have decided to put an end to these rumors once and for all," the doting mother explained.

Martin shared the results of a recent DNA test taken by her, Prince, and her late fiancé's twin sister, Angel Carter. The document obtained by TMZ proved "without a shadow of a doubt" that the deceased singer was her son's biological father.

Carter Died Weeks Before His Son's First Birthday

Given the positive DNA results, Martin added, "I hope that the hate and baseless rumors suggesting otherwise will now cease." She has been actively protecting her son while keeping Carter's memory alive.

The late singer died on November 5, 2022, at 34, just weeks before his son's first birthday. He took his final breath in his home in Lancaster, California, where he was found unresponsive in his bathtub by a housekeeper.

Following investigations into his cause of death, The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled that Carter's demise was accidental. He reportedly drowned after taking alprazolam, a generic form of Xanax, and inhaling compressed difluoroethane.
