Nina Simone's Family on VP Kamala Harris and Estate Issue

RéAnna Simone Kelly blasted Kamala Harris on social media after the 22-year-old quoted a tweet from a user asking why the singer's estate would make an account for the singer in 2006, who died in 2003. Because of this, Simone's granddaughter confirmed that they have no control over the singer's estate.

"My family doesn't run the estate anymore. It was taken away from us and given to White people. Our family was dragged into the media. We get no royalties, nothing," said Simone's granddaughter, blaming Kamala Harris.

The "Feeling Good" singer's granddaughter also blamed the vice president for her mother's depression, claiming her mother almost killed herself. She also blasted on Harris for a Nina Simone song during the inauguration.

Meanwhile, Lisa Kelley took to Instagram and posted a video using the account of his son Alexander, saying that she supports everything her daughter said on Twitter.

"I support her 1000 percent, I support what she's saying," said Kelly in the video.

Simone's granddaughter was coming from 2013 when Harris oversaw a case against Nina Simone's daughter, Lisa Kelley, for allegedly "breaching her fiduciary duty" to the singer's estate, as the administrator after the "Feeling Good" singer's death, Yahoo! News reported.

Lisa Kelly was accused of misappropriating funds that were tied to both the estate and the charity set up in the singer's name. In the end, they reached a settlement where Simone's daughter was not allowed to associate herself with the singer and prohibited her from talking about her mother.

Despite the tweetstorm that Simone's granddaughter started, Vice President Kamala Harris' office has not yet commented or released any statement.
