Ike Turner Jr. was a musician and producer who was best known for being the child of Ike and Tina Turner.

Ike Turner Jr. was adopted by Tina Turner.
Although Ike Turner Jr.'s mother was technically Lorraine Taylor, he was adopted by Tina Turner when he was just two years old, according to E! News.
"Tina raised me from the age of 2. She's the only mother I’ve ever known," Ike Jr. told The Mail on Sunday in 2018, adding that he hadn't spoken to Tina since 2018. He also said, "We were raised by housekeepers because my mother and father were gone 11 months out of a year."
Jacqueline Bullock, his cousin and Tina Turner's niece, released a statement to Page Six following news of his death.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.," she said. "Junior was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together."
Ike worked with both of his parents throughout his career, although as his quote to The Mail on Sunday made clear, he seemed to have a complicated relationship with both of them.
"My father took me out of school at 13. I ended up running his recording studio, plus going on the road with them," he said. "They made a lot of money on tour, and my father used to make me count it until my hands were grey."
He also said that his father threatened him after his parents split. "When my mother and father separated, he did not want me working with her – and he beat me in the head with a nickel-plated .45 pistol," he claimed. He added, though, that he had forgiven his dad.
