Ike Turner, Jr. is DEAD TO ME

Born in 1958 to Ike Turner Sr. and Lorraine Taylor, Ike Jr. was adopted by Tina Turner during her marriage to Ike Sr. Growing up in a household shaped by music royalty, Turner Jr. began displaying a talent for music at a young age, learning to play various instruments and taking an active role in the family's recording studios, including assisting at Bolic Sound Studios, founded by his father. After Tina Turner separated from Ike Sr., Ike Jr. briefly worked as Tina's sound engineer, though the two later became estranged.

Ike Turner, Jr's cause of death was kidney failure.

The one remaining son is in a convalescent home.

It seems like the celeb children always start dying like hot flies once the celeb dies who may own or have great deal of autonomy of their music dies. 🤔. Also the record books sugar coat Tina. Not saying she wasn’t abuse survivor because she certainly was. But she was fucking Ike’s friend before Ike and bore his child. Her first born is not Ike’s, it was some dude in Ike’s band. Then she got with Ike.

Was Ike his real dad because he looks just like him

R3 Yes, the first article of this thread states so. To me he actually doesn’t look like Ike that much, from what I recall that cunt looking like. I saw him on an episode of Judge Judy bout 15 yrs ago looking a mess 😆, Ike senior that is. He kinda look like Lawrence Fishburne’s acting ass, ironically.

All four of those boys didn't turn out so well. Not hard to understand why... they just didn't have a good family foundation in their life. Tina was a goddess onstage but admittedly not a very nurturing mother, and the boys grew up witnessing and experiencing no small amount of domestic violence and Ike's drug use / bad sides of his personality. Two of the sons weren't Tina's and one of them wasn't Ike's.

He felt hopeless and lost after the tragic theft of his Tina Turner wall clock.

Ike Turner and Sonny Bono are taking turns kicking each other's ass in Hell today.

Should have treated her better.

It’s a total Tina problem.

Ain’t no grave plot deep enough.

R11, Ike Sr. wasn't classically handsome, but he was very sexy in the way certain skinny Black men are. Big Dick Energy for days. It really came through onstage (I saw him many times in the late '80s-late '90s, and despite the drugs and prison time, he still had IT.) Not to mention his extreme musical talent and showmanship which get overlooked because of the DV history.

And he was fucking HILARIOUS on MadTV.

R12 I thought that was Tina’s first born. Not this child, who is not Tina’s child by blood.
