Sorry, Carlin Q. Williams; you've been eliminated in the Prince Inheritance Sweepstakes.

Williams, a Colorado prison inmate who claimed to have been the "1999" singer's son, has been ruled out as a possible heir, the Associated Press reports.

Williams had previously claimed that his mother had unprotected sex with his mother in a Kansas City, Missouri, hotel room in 1976.
