Prior to Aaron Carter’s death, he had an estranged bond with sibling Nick Carter.
“My brother and I have always had an up and down relationship,” the “I Want Candy” performer, who died in November 2022, exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2017. “We’re brothers — what do you expect? We both do the same thing too, so there’s always going to be an underlying competition.”

Nick — who shares children Odin, born in 2016, Saoirse, born in 2019 and Pearl, born in 2021, with Kitt — remained at odds with Aaron through the years. After the “Not Too Young, Not Too Old” rapper was arrested for driving under the influence and
