That's really sad. I'm not a Michael Jackson fan but I know he harshly opposed Sony towards the end of his contract. Selling out your own father for a extra couple of million.

Watch them give us more Cascio tracks and the whole cycle restarts with the fans losing their minds

Please :cryga:

I bet they'll sell a verse or several to other artists for MJ features. Like Drake had him on a song.

It's not his kids doing it, it's his estate. His mom and kids benefit from the money made but John Branca runs it and makes the decisions.

how is their catalog almost 1BN? 

MJ is a money making machine. In the late 2010s alone his estate pulled in like $800 million or something.

And the slander piece and controversy had the opposite effect in 2019, he rocketed to popularity unseen since his death.

Plus there's a tribute show in Vegas and the musical on Broadway (that I was lucky enough to go to :pray:).

And lastly, all the moves he made when he was alive. He was a very savvy business man and despite racking up personal debts in the hundreds of millions, his actual estate owns/owned a huge amount of shares and rights to major labels and properties, like Neverland Ranch. He had over half a billion dollars in assets at the time of his death and those have mostly appreciated in value.

There's a reason he's factually the biggest entertainer in history. Even 14 years after his death he's hitting the list of the highest paid celebrities, living or dead.

Unstoppable icon :whitney:

It just seriously sucks that John is relinquishing any amount of his voice to $ony...

Dear Sony,

I am not an artist. I am not a singer. But I have a lot of self-made demos, which I’m willing to sell you for 1 million dollars. 

Looking forward to your reply!

Sincerely,
The Fame Monster
