This morning the fan community was buzzing and sharing what seems to be Jaafar Jackson’s new single called ‘Rebirth of Michael’. Assuming it’s not AI generated, it is unclear if this release was official or “leaked”. None of Jaafar Jackson’s social media (facebook, X, Youtube, Instagram) are mentioning the single or release. It was only released on Spotify. The lyrics of the song don’t match the title of the song. Nowhere in the song mentioned the name “Michael” and it seems to be a love song
February 15 : Siedah Garett shares (and deletes later) pics of her on the set of #MichaelMovie : “Grateful to have been invited to visit the set of the forthcoming Michael Jackson biopic to witness his nephew Jafaar performing my song Man in the Mirror. Goosebumps! “.
New court documents from the Estate vs Katherine Jackson case have emerged regarding the secret deal which is now obviously the sale of 50% of Michael Jackson Music Catalog (MIJAC) to Sony. Katherine has revealed that two of Michael’s children have objected to the deal. But despite the rebuttal, the judge granted the motion and approved the deal: “The proposed transaction is approved, and the executors are authorized and instructed to take all actions necessary to implement the proposed transaction, including but not limited to signing all contracts and performing all obligations required of the estate.” The executors were ordered to respond to Katherine’s appeal brief by January 30. No response was filed by the due date. The sale of the music catalog was announced on February 9. It’s unclear if Katherine and the executors reached a deal before the news of the sale was announced.
New pics of Jaafar on set : Jaafar was in full hair, makeup and costume Thursday on location in the Encino area of Los Angeles, where cameras were rolling for “Michael” … the first official film to tackle the MJ’s life on the big screen. Nia Long joined Jaafar on set here on Thursday … remember, she’s playing Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson. She’s also fully transformed — and pretty unrecognizable.
February 16 : New pics of Jaafar on set. Some people in L.A. probably did a double take Friday thinking they saw Michael Jackson walking around. But it was actually the spitting image of the late “King of Pop” — namely his nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who was on his way to shoot scenes for MJ’s upcoming biopic, “Michael.”. Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which show Jaafar on the movie set, sporting MJ’s famous red varsity jacket next to a Tower Records pop-up shop and a huge ad promoting the entertainer’s 1979 album, “Off The Wall “.

February 28 : Pre trial hearing in the Robson case : No trial date set. Trial readiness hearing is June 5, 2024. Judge wants their reports by May 22, 2024. All other info I have to wait for. “A lawyer for Jackson’s companies said during the hearing that her clients plan to waive a three-year speedy trial rule because she believes the case won’t be ready for jurors until after December 2026. She said the trial likely would last more than 20 days with dozens of witnesses.” Estate is looking for December of 2026 or later for trial.
MJ Estate attorneys on discovery: “Before this case can be tried, there are numerous discovery issues and legal issues that need to be addressed, making it impractical to have this matter ready for trial within 12 months. …The deposition of third- party Charli Michaels remains open and needs to be completed. Robson’s deposition was also left open. As discussed below, however, there is extensive additional discovery needed as a result of Robson’s participation in the Leaving Neverland film.”
Wade & James express they are open to alternative dispute resolutions via mediation. This is common when hoping to reach a pre-trial settlement. (Contradicting their “we just want a platform to speak!”) The defense is NOT open to any ADR.

Taj Jackson : “I am privy to knowing a lot of what is coming way down the MJ pipeline and what isn’t. And because of that, I have access to certain news and info that affects EVERYTHING in the Michael Jackson universe. There really is a strategy to all of this, and like chess…the bigger the pieces, the more important the moves are. The way I do things might not make complete sense at first to some of you, but I am ALWAYS doing what’s best for the project and ultimately my uncle. Even to the detriment to my own self, health, family or career. I do need to find a better balance though.
Which leads me to my next thought. I’m taking you along with me on this journey. Maybe then we will get a better understanding together and you will see the magnitude and progress of the project firsthand. That means vlogs, behind the scenes footage and clips in upcoming updates. But this silence thing is not working for either you or me.
Of course I will still keep some nice surprises along the way, because where’s the fun of knowing everything 🙂 We fought side by side these years fighting for MJ’s legacy. I need you side by side with me now. Not in the dark. I’m done with feeling isolated, alone and vulnerable.
I am welcoming more transparency, within limitations of course. And you guys will have to trust that if I cannot say, comment, or address something publicly, there really is a bigger and important reason. That being said, I want you guys to know there has been a slight alteration in the name of the project. Well we actually went back to one of the original names we had. Certain people close to me and also many of you suggested that the phrase “Re_Righting” could have a negative connotation… as if I we were trying to re-write history by altering the facts and truth. Of course this is the farthest thing from what I would do. But that has never stopped the press .
And knowing the media, they would run with this anyway. I could see it now… Mainstream Media Version: The nephew of Michael Jackson wants to re-write his uncle’s troubled past. Or how about the Tabloid version: Michael Jacksons’s nephew desperately attempts to re-write Jacko’story… not so fast!
So we are back to…. “Righting HIStory” Just as strong, powerful and direct.. In the end I am righting the wrong about my uncle’s legacy.”

McClain and Branca pointed to the concert film This is It! — which they said pulled in a $60 million advance and a substantial back-end for the estate despite Katherine’s objection to the project. Katherine testified that she did not like the deal. She said Paris and Bigi were on her side.

This morning, Prince Jackson is a guest on Sam Rubin on KTLA Entertainment to talk about the upcoming biopic.
A reporter, Matthew Belloni of Puck, has written a piece allegedly saying he read a version of the script for the upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic “Michael” and the press are loving it. According to Belloni, an iteration of the screenplay he allegedly read will dig deep into the accusations. We already knew that as the Estate and director Antoine Fuqua already stated that. “If the script as written ends up onscreen—which is a big caveat here because words and scenes are often changed during shoots, and not everything goes in the final cut—this will be super controversial,” wrote Belloni. “It not only engages, it wants very much to convince you Michael is innocent.”

March 22 : Bigi Jackson doesn’t want Katherine to appeal against the Estate.
But on Monday, filed a court document saying that there is no point to appeal against the Estate. “It is readily apparent that a reversal on appeal would be an extreme longshot, given those odds, Bigi decided not to waste his resources to participate in an appeal. Nonetheless, Katherine has decided to appeal this court’s ruling. That decision is not for the benefit of the heirs.”In conclusion, Bigi has gave up the fight against the Estate and this court case might have damaged the relationship between members of the Jackson family.

In her newly filed motion, Katherine said despite the executors’ claims her petition did identify the source from which the requested payment should be made. Her lawyer added, “It seems clear to her that the Executors are holding all of the assets in the Estate in order to keep control over them, and to avoid the more liberal distribution requirements of the Trust.” In addition, Katherine argued the estate is “currently holding something in the range of $1.5 billion.” She said, “this vastly exceeds its potential liabilities and leaves hundreds of millions of dollars available for the remainder beneficiaries.”

“Michael” Trailer debuts at CinemaCon
On Wednesday, cinemagoers were surprised with the trailer of the upcoming biopic about the King of Pop, “Michael” at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. Producer Graham King revealed the project will include more than 30 songs and teased it would be “long” in order to do the music star’s story justice. The trailer began with a look at the Jackson 5 performing “ABC” on TV, and then cut to a 1990s-era concert of Jackson performing “Man in the Mirror.” There are also images of a masked Jackson being hounded by fans and paparazzi. Jackson’s real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson stars as Michael, and in the trailer has a strong resemblance to his uncle and appears to have captured his dancing and stage presence. “You never were like anyone else,” Jackson’s mother (portrayed in the biopic by Nia Long) says at one point in the trailer. In voice-over, a grown-up Jackson says of performing: “It transports your entire being. That’s what I want the world to feel like — magic.”
Some of the footage shown to the exhibitor crowd today at the Caesars Colosseum appears to take place during the Off the Wall era as well as that of Bad — “Man in the Mirror” is a key song heard throughout. We also see the pop singer’s nephew Jaafar Jackson performing onstage as the King of Pop. At one point, his voice-over says, “When I’m not on stage, everything feels foreign to me.”
A voice-over from what appears to be his mother Katherine Jackson adds, “You have a very special light, so let the light shine into the world.”

Because think about her journey and what she’s been through being Michael Jackson‘s mother. And I started to think about it and I was like ‘Wow, we do have things in common. I just kind of put my fears to the side and I just prayed a lot and said ‘God let me be the version of this character that you want me to be.’ I was able to tap into some of my own experiences. I was able to tap into the idea of loving your children so deeply that it just doesn’t matter what the world is saying about them. Next April will be the opening of the Michael Jackson film, which is going to be pretty fantastic and amazing. It had always been my dream to work with Antoine Fuqua because I think he’s one of the most prolific directors of our time, and Graham King who is the producer and so passionate about the project that I was sold in five minutes.

Today I am happy to announce that I have officially joined Taj’s Righting HIStory production team to help ensure that Michael’s real essence and soul are captured in this project.

It’s over for Katherine Jackson vs The Estate
After nearly two years of legal disputes concerning Michael Jackson’s estate, a Los Angeles court has ruled in favor of the estate’s co-executors, dismissing Katherine Jackson’s ongoing objections to a proposed catalog sale with a significant price tag. Katherine, 94, had repeatedly contested the decision after attorney John Branca and A&R executive John McClain, co-executors of Michael’s estate and trustees of the Michael Jackson Family Trust, secured a probate court ruling last year. This ruling permitted them to proceed with a reported $600 million sale of half of Michael’s music catalogue to Sony.
August 22 : Judge says no to use the precedent criminal case files
A California judge ruled in favor of Michael Jackson’s estate on Thursday (August 22), denying a request by accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck to access “the entirety of the criminal file” related to child molestation allegations against Michael Jackson in Santa Barbara County and Los Angeles County dating back to the early 1990s. The request included photographs of Michael Jackson’s nude body and genitalia taken during a 1993 criminal investigation. Although the plaintiffs disagree with the structure of the discovery and motion schedule proposed by the defense, they have agreed to the defendant’s request for a trial date in 2026 or sooner, depending on the availability of the court and defense counsel. During an April 26, 2024, meet-and-confer, the defendants proposed a trial date of August 17, 2026. The plaintiffs did not object to this date or suggest any alternatives. The next court date is scheduled for October 22.

August 28 : MJ ONE revamped and extended to 2030
Cirque du Soleil and the Michael Jackson Estate just announced that the show will stay in Las Vegas a bit longer. MJ ONE has been extending its stay at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino until November 2030.

August 29 : Frank and the other Respondents try to pressure MJ Estate into submission with a menacing extortionate threat (communicated through his lawyer), asserting, “We expect a substantive response by end of day tomorrow. Otherwise, we will be forced to expand the ‘circle of knowledge’ so my team can prepare a complaint.” The email continues with an ominous rhetorical inquiry whether “the materiality of this claim has been revealed by the estate to
the buyer of the catalogue.” This is a transparent threat to go public with spurious damaging accusations in the guise of a sham public lawsuit and to damage the value of the Michael Jackson music catalogue, unless MJ Estate agrees to satisfy the astronomical financial demands, notwithstanding
that MJ Estate has already paid Respondents to put an end to the 2019 shakedown in exchange for terms including confidentiality, comprehensive releases, and agreement to mandatory arbitration of all future disputes.

November 15 : Taj Jackson : “2 Months Since My Pop’s Death.
For the first time since starting this project, I have had to take a selfish break from “Righting HIStory”. Since September 15, the day my dad died, I have felt completely lost. My dad was my biggest supporter and the one who believed in me when no one else did. Whenever I doubted my abilities, he was there to push me to overcome that doubt. He believed in “Righting HIStory” so much that he even wrote and signed a quick statement in order to help me secure outside investors for this project. Losing my dad wasn’t just a personal loss—it was a loss for “Righting HIStory” as well. His unwavering support was irreplaceable, and it feels like this journey is missing a vital piece without him.
A lot of the strength and courage I draw upon to fight for my uncle Michael’s legacy came directly from watching my dad. He was always calm, cool, and, most importantly, authentic. My dad’s steadfast loyalty to Michael never wavered. He was a tireless advocate for his brother, always ready to stand up and correct misconceptions. He did it with a quiet dignity that showed the depth of their bond. Watching him defend Michael with such passion and grace taught me so much about loyalty, integrity, and standing up for what you believe in. I will forever be grateful for the example he set.
My dad’s brotherly pride in Michael was immeasurable. He celebrated every one of Michael’s milestones as if they were his own, cherishing each moment of his brother’s success. Even after Michael passed, my dad dedicated himself to protecting his younger brother’s character, sharing personal stories that revealed the kind, generous man Michael truly was. I know the strength I have to continue fighting for Michael’s legacy comes from my dad. He wasn’t just Michael’s bigger brother—he was his friend, protector, and one of his most loyal supporters. I’m proud to carry on that fight, inspired by the man who taught me how.
I wrote all this because although it will personally be a hard road ahead for me, I am more determined than ever to knock “Righting History” out of the park for both MJ and Poppa T.”
