The highly anticipated Jackson 5 reunion scheduled for this fall might be hitting a major roadblock after reports surfaced that Michael Jackson has been shorting his brothers.
According to a Page Six report, Jackson owes his brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie roughly $840,000 in royalties from their Jackson 5 hits. Despite the fact that Jackson has been acquitted of charges stemming from child molestation allegations, he has not made any attempt to pay his brothers. According to the report, the Jackson brothers have not been able to speak with him since the child molestation case closed three years ago.
With an upcoming lifetime achievement (Icon) award presentation at this years BMI Urban Awards, Jackson who is reportedly in a wheelchair, will likely be a no show, stifling fans and industry heads who were looking forward to a Jackson 5 reunion of sorts.
i completely agree with you guys..i dont get how he could be in debt with his brothers as yeah like you said he doesnt own the catalogue so?? Pfft, i can feel it..there will be a reunion of some sort, if not at least an appearance by Mike..this is crap that they are talking about..just like every other media outlet.

he doesnt even own the J5 catalog. so the royalties thing is complete BS. And mj called during and event the jermaine was throwing in 2007 and talked to the audience so the idea of him not talking to them is dumb as well. stupid media.

Leave the guy alone, no black man can ever make it big without some bulls*** made up behind him. From tupac, to r.kelly and more importantly mj, stop ridiculing our artists, the few influential black role models and you slander them!!

Trust me guys, this is another BS story we find on Michael Jackson over the internet. It is not even close to reality.
