Nina Simone’s daughter and grandchildren claim her estate has been “taken away” from them, and the person to blame is Vice President Kamala Harris.

The iconic singer’s family is no longer remaining silent about the situation. It started when 22-year-old RéAnna Simone Kelly, the daughter of Simone’s daughter Lisa Simone Kelly, praised Chlöe Bailey’s sexy rendition of the singer’s iconic song “Feeling Good.”

“Everyone’s coming at @ChloeBailey for her performance… But what y’all don’t understand is that grandma was a free-spirited woman herself,” RéAnna tweeted. “She would’ve loved that performance as much as I do! Relax. Chloe killed it.”

“Grandma was unapologetically herself,” she followed up. “She was a muhhhfuckin badass woman who did what she wanted when she wanted. She was a sexual woman, and she expressed that. Educate yourselves! If grandma could, she probably would’ve done that performance herself.”

As she scrolled through the comments about Simone and her legacy, RéAnna came across a tweet. It questioned why her estate would make a Twitter account for the singer years after her death in 2003—and she finally spilled the tea.

Her tweetstorm was over her family losing a legal battle headed by then-AG Harris with the singer’s daughter, Lisa Simone Kelly, who was the administrator of her late mother’s estate and charitable trust.

According

to the Daily Beast, she was accused of “breaching her fiduciary duty” when she allegedly drained up to $2 million from its coffers, including a $1.5 million deposit into her personal company.

Harris sought to surcharge her nearly $6 million, plus more than $2.5 million in interest before they agreed for Simone Kelly to relinquish rights to her mother’s work as well as the title of the estate administrator.

RéAnna also said her mom, Lisa Simone, was put under a “gag order.”

She said Harris twisted the knife even further when John Legend performed Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” on the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Harris.

Kelly took to Instagram to stand by RéAnna, proudly saying she had “started a fire.”

“I support everything she said,” she said. “She’s speaking her truth; she’s speaking the truth of our family.”
