The attorney of late Blues legend B.B. King has denied the rumors that claims that the late singer was poisoned by his aides.

Two of Kings' daughters have claimed that their father was poisoned by two aides who worked closely with him, People Magazine reported.

In his defense, the attorney stated that he hope that they have a factual basis that they can demonstrate for their defamatory and libelous allegations.

The late American singer died on 14th May from a series of strokes which may have been caused by his Type-2 diabetes, which he had struggled with for more than two decades before his death.
