This is why MJ was removed. He owned half of Sony’s Music publishing. Not just The Beetles like the the narrative. Every time Beyoncé or Jay made a hit, Michael gotta check. And Sony tried to force him to sell and he wouldn’t, which is why they tried to sabotage the Invincible album so he’d sell Sony’s publishing back to them to cover the flop but it went multi platinum instead.

[@brandoni241]

Not exactly true. MJ owned ATV originally. He sold 50% of it to Sony in the 90s. MJ was negotiating to sell the rest , but wanted full control of some of his earlier material which Sony had. So MJ never owned 50% of Sony music. His estate ended up getting ownership of MJs songs that Sony previously had 50% of due to the original deal MJ made...

MJ lived a full life. Most of us, especially men, don't hit our stride until after 30, and then we get a good 20 years of peak activity before falling off and wandering the earth like ghosts until we die at 75. Mikes peak was from like 10 until 50. That's 40 years of peak. Don't cry for the man.

[@richardkovacs2006]

it depends on what you think "full life" is. I thik MJ desired a peaceful family life (at leaast that's qhat he used to say, and why should one doubt him) but he could never find a way to have that. He had no private life and def had no peaceful family life. He had a hugely successful career - and an equally huge fall. He def didn't have a peak from the mid90s - let's not fool ourselves.

Less white artists crossover into success with black audiences and more black artists crossover to have success among whites. But we're in a country with higher white population so artists of all colors are depending more so on the whites to buy their music.

I would say black blues guitarists are MORE popular with whites than with blacks, especially in Europe, but blues is a niche market.

I don’t understand why people still talk about how Michael settled back in '93. Michael only settled for the civil case because he was about to start his dangerous world tour. The criminal case was going on anyways until Evan Chandler ( the father of the boy ) decided not to take the stand with Jordan Chandler anymore because he already got some money from Mike settling for the Civil case. And can we talk about how Chandler blackmailed Michael for a total of $200 million dollars? Or the phone tape in which he exposed himself saying that he would find the nastiest mf to destroy Mike and that he doesn’t care about his son? Or that he was working as a dentist and drugged up his own Child with medication which caused Jordy to hallucinate and say things that didn’t happen? Michael settled the civil case for $14 million and gave it to him under one condition: Jordan Chandler would get the Money and use it for his education etc. because Michael felt sorry for Jordy. Jordy actually went to court as soon as he turned 18 to escape his parents & hasn’t seen them since! Evan Chandler took his own Life only 3 months after MJ passed away. I wish Jordan would make a statement or something but I get why he doesn’t. He’s a grown married man now with Kids and moved on with his life.

That law has subsequently been changed in that all criminal trials must proceed the civil. It's been reported that Michael has donated more than $500M to charity in his lifetime and his estate donates 20% to charity since his death. He won the highest paid dead celebrities 10 out of 13 times so it's 100s of millions from his Estate too.

Guys Michael Jackson was one of the most powerful black man ever lived... not only in music who is a legend.. America and UK will never forgive him for surpassing its stars, his idols and for the power he had.. when he started breaking records and overshadowing anything that existed, the war started. he became freak, wirdo, jacko. He was a very skillful businessman who, in his black skin, maneuvered the best deal ever in the history of American music when he bought into the Sony/ ATV catalogs. He knew this was the reason they came after him. He knew it and he said it.. very important.. his greatest strength was the influence he had on a global level.. when Michael sent a message the world listened... Mike threatened the establishment more than any man in US history... The fact that he was a very strong and passionate activist who used his platform to send strong social and political messages you understand how threatening he can be.. As his skin became whiter the foundation of his art became blacker.. Michael was the first and so far the only black person in history who made millions of whites, black, asians go NUTS for him. Not just claps or scream but lose their mind, pass out No one had the kind of reaction like MJ certainly not on a global scale. Not even religious figures, period. The press hated it.. The white Anglo-American press couldn't deal with the fact that they did their best to ruin that man and here he was still making people all over the world cry... lose their mind over him, support him with passion. Michael had contacts with top personalities all over the world.. he was welcomed everywhere by Royals Ministers, Businessman and other powerful people.. he had contacts with Russia, Korea, Japan and thi is something that America never liked of it.. They were out to get him since always....4 decades.. they could no longer sustain such awesomeness by the black artist! It was a tough war because they had to surrender to his wisdom, talent,his art and his mammoth army of fans. The mission to hunt him down had started. MJ had power like no one else... His enemies knew that which is why they were so hel bent to humiliate him to put him back to his place..

A black man that knows his worth can rule the world. I’m that man. I will rule!

[@DialloMoore503]

@Jim Shock I see that my confidence is a threat to you. Good. I like that.

[@samiam2003]

huh

[@NigerianBaller]

My man Michael ain't touch them kids. He was acquitted on all charges. HE WAS INNOCENT!!!

[@rasul407]

Akon and Nikolai Mcoulkin were true friends! They never turned their back on MJ and I respect them both dearly for that. And what Akon said about MJ back then is true hence Kanye is also suffering from that.

[@matrix2297]

I believe Michael was a very smart man, but I don't buy it, that in the 80s they just let a young black man buy the Beatle's catalogue. Isn't it interesting that John Branca, who helped Michael purchase the ATV catalogue (Beatles) then did the infamous Sony/ATV merger THEN was found working with Sony behind closed doors and Michael relinquished his services in 2003. Then literally a week or so before Michael died, Branca finds himself back in the circle, and is now the lawyer for the Michael Jackson estate. I know 'Michael as the savvy businessman' is something fans hold dear, but I really think he was allowed to gain that access, and interviews like this which fill in the gaps certainly support this claim. Michael was smart in that he wanted to be more than just a singing dancing man who was a slave to the industry. They needed his talent and his star power (he's often credited with saving the industry since the music business was in dire straits) so they allowed him to think he was in control. What they probably didn't count on is him not being so obedient. Now, they've made BILLIONS in his death, he still tops the list of highest earning posthumous celebrity damn near every year since 2009. And they want you to believe the man was broke of his own doing, meanwhile they were drugging him up and he had more than one person who he assigned the authority to sign documents. You can best believe they intentionally fucked with his face also!! They wanted him more than dead, they wanted and still want his name tarnished so that people never look into the truth of what happened. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he faked his death though. Something about the whole way he went out, it was all so theatrical and a lot of things just don't add up. Can never be sure with Hollyweird.

[@mjmedia09returns]

Michael paid $40 million dollars of HIS OWN MONEY for that catalog. John Branca was just the LAWYER who got the deal done. But I ALSO believe MJ got rid of John Branca as he thought he was BEHIND stealing some of his money.

[@MysteryWetStories]

Finally someone speaking some truths they definitely messed his face up They decide wat shade and size of nose he would hv for ever era I cudnt get who the they was that he cudnt say no to

[@strafer8764]

Michael has more power than 99.9 percent of the people on the planet.

Yes u got it

[@SFXTroll]

Sad he felt attacked. As a kid and as a man. Fame and Fortune are two different things. He didn't ask for either.

[@DSLightning21]

1:47 - Vlad totally changed his tune after Akon went off on him in the Part 16 clip. MJ's legacy WILL be protected.

[@Joshua_Harrell]

Nah, don’t switch up now vlad…keep that same energy

[@Akumaten1]

Thats what I keep tryna tell the skeptics and haters. Mike had ALOT of power in the music business and ALOT of influence arojnd the globe!! and he was a BLACK MAN. I dont wanna see no skin bleach jokes, "The Powers that Be" as MJ said it, knew he was a BLACK MAN with alot of smarts in that business!! and they didnt like that! Period.

[@tremanyne]

“They will use you till they can’t use you now more, then they’ll find a way to destroy you to grab everything that you have access to or possess.” “They felt like he had too much access and real estate in the music catalog.” “Mike was a very smart businessman man” “They felt like he had more power than a black man should have.” Hmmmm I’m sure there’s another artist today that’s happening to *cough* Ye.

[@JKirv]

When tf vlad start having the moving camera......spooky that akon saying what he sayin and the camera starts moving 🤔

[@d-staxworldwidestax7112]

When did he made the duet hit "Hold My Hand" with Michael Jackson while he was still alive?

That’s why I respect Ye on what he was saying cause he definitely knows what he is talking about he just a few people to speak up and point people out on their bull****

[@thatomofolo452]

Real facts MJ da 🐐🐐🐐♥️👑🦁

[@rtv2324]

I heard the same story about Michael Jackson owning the Beatles catalogue. That why I remember right after Michael dead they came out with a Beatles Greatest hits album. It didn't come out before cuz Michael owned All their Music Catalogue!!. Michael was the victim

[@AxelFoley-sb5re]

Let it be known that this ownership thing, Mike BEEN tried to tell many artists about this back in the late 90s
