Rumor has it that Ike Jr. is all cracked out… AGAIN… and between that and her sister's death Tina's been caught sippin'!
Here's what her biographer Mark Bego had to say:
"Losing Alline and seeing Ike Jr so sick has hit her like a one-two punch. Tina has been in misery since her sisters death. And now Ike Jr has taken a turn for the worse. Her friends fear she's drinking heavily in private to get over the pain. Those closest to her are beginning to believe that going into rehab may be her only salvation."
"Urban Guru" Jacky Jasper adds:
I consider Ike Jr as a friend…we recorded his father's (Ike Turner) last album together. Last time I saw Ike Jr was in December 2007 at his father's funeral — dude was looking sharp back then. That's when he told me "I had to get clean…Daddy sent me away to St Louis to get sober."
A few weeks later, we spoke over the phone — he told me about his inheritance, and I worried for him. I thought if Jr. ever relapses he would spiral out of control. Know why? Because he now has the money to support his drug habit.
I'm very saddened to learn this news about Tina Turner and Ike Jr. I wish them both the best. I want you all to know 'all that glitters is not gold.'
