Katherine Jackson claps back at Michael Jackson’s son, Bigi Jackson, amid their legal battle
Michael Jackson, has taken another dramatic turn as Katherine Jackson, the matriarch of the Jackson family, fires back at her grandson, Bigi Jackson, amidst dispute.Just days after Bigi, formerly known as Blanket, raised objections in a court filing to his grandmother’s use of funds from Michael Jackson’s estate to cover her legal fees in a dispute with the estate’s executors over the sale of the singer’s catalog to Sony, Katherine Jackson has filed a blunt response.In a filing dated March 20th, Katherine Jackson alleges that the estate’s executors are too conservative with managing the estate’s finances, claiming they have enough resources to cover the expenses she is requesting, as shown in documents obtained by PEOPLE.According to the filing, Katherine Jackson contends, “it seems clear to [Katherine] 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.”Michael Jackson’s son Bigi takes grandmother to court over estate disputeSony might buy Michael Jackson’s music catalog for about $900 millionMichael Jackson biopic: Miles Teller to play the singer’s attorney John BrancaKatherine Jackson’s main argument is that the estate has ample resources to cover the costs of her legal fees. She believes that the estate’s current value, estimated at $1.5 billion, is more than enough to justify the allocation of funds for her legal expenses. However, she feels that the executors are unwilling to provide the necessary financial support, which she believes is unwarranted.Attorneys representing Katherine Jackson argue that covering her legal fees would not detriment creditors or the estate itself.

Michael Jackson’s son Bigi challenges grandmother’s use of estate money in court
Michael Jackson’s son, Bigi, has taken his grandmother to court in an attempt to prevent her from using funds from his father’s estate as part of a legal battle.Bigi – whose legal name is Prince Michael Jackson III, and is also known as Blanket – has requested that Katherine Jackson be prevented from using the funds to finance her legal battle against executors.Attorneys have said that Katherine’s legal services requests do not benefit the estate, so a judge should not approve them (per USA Today).It comes after reports emerged last week that the late pop legend’s son was filing a legal injunction against his grandmother.The filing was thought to be in response to Katherine’s opposition of the recent landmark deal the estate made with Sony to sell half of Michael’s music catalogue for $600million (£475million).The deal is expected to be the biggest-ever valuation of an artist’s music assets, with sources valuing it at between $1.2billion and $1.5billion in total (£950million – £1.19billion).Bigi previously claimed that he and Katherine presented their arguments against the deal, but ultimately the court ruled against them – which seemingly brought the legal issue to a close.However, a filing states that “despite the expense and long odds, Katherine decided to pursue an appeal.”The court filing said the Sony deal was “of paramount significance to Bigi, both financially and personally”, who has decided to move on from the court dispute.Katherine had previously told the court that Michael never wanted his music catalogue to be sold.Last week, Billboard reported that Katherine Jackson has received more than $55million (£43.5million) since the singer’s death in June 2009, according to claims from Michael Jackson’s estate

Michael Jackson’s estate and Sony Music settle lawsuit over alleged fake songs
Michael Jackson estate and Sony Music, that alleged the label had released songs by a Jackson impersonator, has been settled after eight years.Back in 2014, Jackson fan Vera Serova filed a class-action lawsuit against Sony Music, the Jackson estate and producers.They claimed that three cuts on the late singer’s posthumous 2010 album ‘Michael’ – ‘Monster’ (featuring 50 Cent), ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Breaking News’ – were sold as official Jackson recordings, despite multiple accusations that they’d been sung by someone else.In 2010, Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson claimed that “some of the tracks on the album are fake”. His sister LaToya Jackson said: “It doesn’t sound like him.” Taryll Jackson, Jackson’s nephew, also commented on how the songs had been made in a “sneaky and sly” fashion.Some Jackson fans have long disputed the assertion that the tracks actually feature the artist’s vocals.Last month, ‘Monster’, ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Breaking News’ were all removed from the ‘Michael’ album on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.In a statement, a spokesperson for Jackson’s official website confirmed that the songs were no longer available online, but claimed the move “had nothing to do with their authenticity” (via American Songwriter).The message added: “The Estate and Sony Music believe the continuing conversation about the tracks is distracting the fan community and casual Michael Jackson listeners from focusing their attention where it should be, on Michael’s legendary and deep music catalogue.”According to Rolling Stone, the lawsuit finally reached its conclusion yesterday (August 10) in the California Supreme Court.

Michael Jackson left behind mammoth NINE-FIGURE debt on passing away
However, some reports suggest that the tour was intended to help pay off some of Jackson’s mountainous debts. At the time of his death, Jackson had $500million (£408million) debt.Many blamed his spending habits for the debt, with lavish purchases like the Neverland Ranch, which reportedly cost $19.5million (£15million) to purchase. On top of this, it is said to have cost $10million (£8million) per year to maintain, and contained the Best Picture Academy Award won by Gone With the Wind, that Jacskon bought for $1.5million (£1.2million).After his death, the executors of his estate were able to save Jackson’s financial state thanks to an aggressive tactic. They sold all of his future music rights to Sony for $250million (£204million). Once his debts were settled, Jackson’s heirs could finally access their inheritance. Forty percent of his assets were split equally between his three children, and another 40 percent was left to his mother Katherine Jackson. The final 20 percent of the superstar’s estate was left to various children’s charities. Despite receiving vast sums of money, Jackson’s children did not rest on their laurels. The eldest, Prince Jackson, 25, has lived a relatively private life and is worth roughly $100million (£81million). He edged into showbiz as a reporter for Entertainment Tonight in 2013 and acted in the 90210 reboot. Prince studied business administration, graduating cum laude,and founded King’s Son Productions. Paris Jackson, 24, is currently worth an estimated $100million (£81million) and works as a model, actress and singer. In 2018 she formed folk duo The Soundflowers with Gabriel Glenn.She’s also tried her hand in the film industry with roles in 2018’s Gringo film and 2021’s American Horror
