In Las Vegas, the Estate did their annual MJ birthday celebration. This time around it was more of a sit down interview that Michael Jr. (Prince) and Karen Langford along with Jamie King, had in which they discussed Michael.

Attacking the Legacy:

Hasbeen Singer Jon B states that Chris Brown is a better singer than Michael.

Former Football play Ryan Clark, states that Chris Brown is a better entertainer than Michael. Chris Brown went on IG to try to stop the comparisons -

Prince is now engaged to be married to his now fiancé Molly. Why were some people having an issue with it??

Coleman Domingo, who plays Joe Jackson on the Michael biopic, was asked again about the biopic and he told People.com exclusively this information - 

The image was from the website and posted on X.com

Which prompted Paris to state this on her IG account - (Pop Base posted the response on their X account)

The situations with Michael's children prompted many trolls to attack them regarding their paternity. Those attacks overshadowed what they were stating about events in their lives and what one of them believed regarding the biopic. 

Michael knew that both of his children have different personalities.

The quote was posted on X.com

Knowing what we know now, it makes sense.

Show Notes: Episode 28: Karma, Explanations and Reality

Description: This episode will focus on karma, explanations and reality. It looks like certain people that did Michael wrong are getting their karma. Taj and Prince explain things but needs some clearing up and singer Tank wants to call Michael a "thief" for the sake of proclaiming Michael's copycat Chris Brown as a "great". The comedy writes itself and it is time to examine why such a false allegation is laughable.

Show Notes -

Karma

Oprah is feeling the heat. She thought that she was helping but she was not.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/oprah-winfrey-faces-accusations-hiring-173836220.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr&guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly90LmNvLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANPY5a6t_E_Fcn8T0bNZjlGeKglRMdpXohnZ_ix05RiRMZl8ZSxbNEWTxhfmMZ4wvskANF99dwHP8c3d1ilyRjq3x0_cc4Y5H-iSH6ZTbgMRoD1UiSLNYMD08IK6wHY58MNrylxr_XoBxt94GQBVNDUUuNzysWIhpaGkD1IdA0MC

After the nonsense she pulled, people on social media had a field day attacking this lame -

Super model Cindy Crawford came at Oprah as well - 

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cindy-crawford-says-oprah-winfrey-124334468.html

Jann Wenner put his foot in his mouth - The founder of Rolling Stone was promoting his latest book when he stated something that explains all we need to know about him and that publication.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/15/arts/jann-wenner-the-masters-interview.html

After he stated this nonsense, the backlash was on fire.

Jann Wenner even snubbed Michael and we all know about this -

Rolling Stone released a statement.....

https://thegrio.com/2023/09/20/its-code-jann-wenner-rolling-stone-and-the-irony-of-black-musical-articulation/

The aftermath was swift -

Russell Brand is accused of sexual assault. He attacked Michael over lies regarding Leaving Neverland.

The hypocrisy - 

Karma has no expiration date. You will get what is coming to you. 

Explanation

Taj did an interview with The MJCast and he had a lot to discuss.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mjcast-a-michael-jackson-podcast/id965404693?i=1000628147778

Re: the biopic - Taj also stated that Graham King knew his family since the 1970s. However, it makes you wonder why he needed people to tell him that Michael was not a child abuser. If he knew Michael and the family since the 1970s, why does he need to be told and educated on the false allegations???? Makes you wonder. 

BTW, Taj did the interview with Charles Thomson and it makes you wonder why would Taj speak to a person who has such distain for Michael that he cannot hide it?

It is truly unfortunate.

Prince did an interview with Mike Tyson and DJ Whoo Kid and it was good until it became blah.

Re: the Vitiligo - Joe Jackson stated that it was in the family yet Prince never stated that nor did he state that he has the disorder. Explain why this is an issue and why I feel relying on Michael's children when it comes to his life might not be a smart thing. He also dwells too much on his childhood not being "normal". Why does that matter but not the core values his father taught him and his siblings?

Reality

Singer Tank falsely accused Michael as a "thief" all for the sake of proclaiming Michael's copycat Chris Brown to be "better than" Michael or "greater than" him. It is time to look into why this hasbeen is stating this and why Chris will never be MJ nor a great.

When you are mad that Michael's copycat is not only not great, not that liked but most importantly, is not that kind of entertainer and never will be. Bitterness is a true illness. The guy is a literal flop and it shows.
