Woman sues to prove James Brown is her father

Houston woman LaRhonda Petitt is going to court to prove she is a daughter of James Brown in a bid for a share of his estate.

A woman in Houston is going to court to prove she is a daughter of the late James Brown in a bid to secure a share of his multi-million estate. LaRhonda Petitt, who says she has the results of a DNA test to prove she is Brown's daughter, is also calling on those Brown children listed in his will to also take paternity tests, telling the Associated Press: "Just because they're in the will doesn't mean they're all my daddy's children". Brown's will listed six children, though at least three other people have claimed the godfather of soul is their father.
