For years, whispers surrounded the Twitty family after the sudden passing of Conway Twitty in 1993 — but now, his son is finally speaking out, revealing the painful.
In a candid and emotional interview, Michael Twitty shared what he called “one of the darkest chapters of our lives” — a period of deep division, confusion, and heartbreak that followed Conway’s death. “We weren’t just grieving the loss of our father,” he said. “We were trying to protect his legacy… and it tore us apart.”
The feud, he explains, centered around Conway’s will, business holdings, and musical estate — including rights to unreleased material and control over how his name and image would be remembered. With multiple marriages, children, and business partners involved, emotions ran high — and so did the legal battles.
“There were things said that can’t be unsaid,” Michael admitted. “It broke relationships. It tested our family in ways I don’t think we were ready for.”
Despite the pain, Michael says he’s sharing the story now to bring healing and clarity — not blame. “
Conway Twitty’s voice brought people together. And now, decades later, his son is trying to do the same — one truth at a time.
