When Michael Jackson won the Grammy Legend Award in 1993 at just 35 for his massive contribution to music, the entire venue gave him a standing ovation. Then Janet Jackson handed him the award, and they shared such a sweet sibling moment.

The fairer his skin got cos of vitiligo, the “blacker” his songs got.

Can’t diss a man that you had tattooed on your body. I’m sorry.

[Taj Jackson @tajjackson3]

Sorry media, u don’t get to control the narrative anymore of who Michael Jackson truly was. The public gets to watch this movie…they will decide for themselves.

And you can’t handle that.

Michael Jackson died in 2009 with more than $500 million in debt. His estate also owed $40 million to the company organizing his comeback tour. Xscape, released 12 years ago today, was one of the first things they put out to start paying that down.

The album was built from old recordings Jackson never finished, sitting in his archive from 1980 through 1999. The estate hired Timbaland to update the sound. He finished about one song a day. The album hit number 2 in the US, sold 157,000 copies in its first week, and went number 1 in the UK, France, Spain, Belgium, and Denmark. The main song from it, a re-recorded duet with Justin Timberlake, became Jackson’s first top 10 hit after his death.

The catalog sales came next. In 2016, Sony bought out Jackson’s half of the company that owned the rights to the Beatles’ songs for $750 million. In February 2024, Sony paid at least $600 million more for half of Jackson’s own music, including Thriller, Bad, and the rest of his albums. That valued his music at $1.2 billion, the highest amount ever for a single artist’s catalog.

In April this year, the new Michael Jackson movie, “Michael,” made $217 million in its first weekend worldwide. His estate helped pay to make it. That was the biggest opening ever for a movie about a musician, more than four times Bohemian Rhapsody’s $51 million.

Forbes says the estate has earned over $3 billion since Jackson died. Court papers had described his finances as “in disarray.” Today his estate runs one of the most profitable businesses in music, and Xscape was one piece of how that started.
