MJ's kids...???
Less urban than Rachel Psycho.
oh thats right the days of stamp licking are over....so I guess there wouldnt be the distasteful job of licking the poor schmuck
Also, you can’t be sued if you are dead.
Makes sense when you consider how bad the music is today...
He only had two songs I liked, Thriller and Billie Jean. Other people did a better Billie Jean than he did. How in the world did he sell $2 billion?
$2 billion in sales and they get $300 million.
They are getting ripped off.
It gets even weirder. The child known as 'Blanket', is actually named Prince Michael - while the older boy child is named Prince. Brothers. With the same name.
And if you ask me, not a one of those children have a single atom of MJ's DNA.
He should have died in prison for his sexual abuse of children.
Some folks can handle money, and some can’t. Some things never change, lol.
And just think,
They aren’t having to pay out all the hush money to his child victims anymore.
