[@wouldntyouliketoknow7058]

He bought the Beatles catalog after he did the song with the Beatle dude. MJ literally asked dude how much would he sell for then he did it. How the interviewer didn’t know how long MJ had their catalog.

[@citypopradioFM]

It was more Paul McCartney suggested to Michael that investing in music publishing was a smart business move, and after the Beatles songs were up for grabs, Michael outbid everyone including McCartney for ownership. It wasn't just Beatles songs but a large part of Sony's publishing that included Beatles works.

[@conscious258]

He asked MJ to borrow the money to purchase it and MJ went behind his back and bought the catalog

[@johngalt1361]

Look dummies, MJ borrowed against the SONY catalogue and was bankrupt when he DIED. He owned nothing! He never took the physical because he knew he could not be insured. Conrad was trying to whip into shape so to pass the physical. It never happened. Fifty shows over four months is not only doable, but is whats generally known as a TOUR. Jacko was to perform at one venue. All involved (except Michael) had plenty of money- none were interested in murder for hire. June 2024, it was reported that MJ was half a billion in debt when he DIED. Dick Gregory became a tremendous fool near death and made practically zero sense every single opportunity he was given in front of the mic. Huh…
