Tina Turner bowed out on Wednesday and the next day, her daughter-in-law, Afida, was on the set of Touche Pas à Mon Poste. If the memory of the queen of rock'n'roll has of course been evoked, it is obviously the nearly 300 million dollars that the artist leaves as a legacy that interested the set.

Gilles Verdez played the role of notary, stating that "if Swiss law applies, the inheritance goes to the husband and the two remaining children, the two adopted children, and to other persons only if there is a mention on a will".

Unpacking

Afida Turner was visibly unembarrassed about talking about estate division in public less than 24 hours after the death of her last husband's mother, Ronnie. She even made the detail, stating that "about 47% goes to the husband and the rest to the children".

The one who regularly covers the song Etienne on stage also said that Tina Turner had "never legally adopted" the two children of her ex-husband that she raised. "So the only blood as they say, the only blood, the descendants, of Tina Turner were Craig and Ronnie," she added.

Complicated family

Tina Turner's two biological children have died. The singer of Simply The Best raised Ike Turner's two boys, Ike Jr. and Michael, regularly featured in the press and official documentaries as his adopted children. The star had obviously not been in contact with them for many years, as she had written in her 1986 autobiography. Three years later, she confirmed that she had cut them off. "I'm always here for the boys, but I'm not going to let them use me," Tina Turner told an Australian channel. In recent years, Ike Jr. had lamented the lack of contact with the one who raised her.

As for the former star of Loft 2, who was married to Ronnie Turner for 18 years, she claims to be "the only one with the name Turner since there are no other Turners, and that's why I want to honor this name and respect my in-laws, and my Ronnie and Craig". Gilles Verdez then told him that "Swiss law does not recognize in these cases, the daughter-in-law", Afida Turner adding that she was "not there for that".

Born Anna Mae Bullock, Tina Turner did not choose her stage name. It was imposed on him, without his consent, by Ike Turner. Another form of violence among all those he inflicted on her.

"He changed his name to Ike and mine to Tina, because if I left, Tina was his name. He had tabled it as they say. So he could possess me. He was smart. He didn't have the education but common sense," Tina Turner told Oprah Winfrey in 2013.
