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.
I’m so sick of all this “Michael Jackson died 500 million in debt” nonsense.
Michael Jackson gave over that same amount to charity.
So here's a better headline…
“Michael Jackson donated over 500 Million dollars to charity during his life. And some estimates say that number is still low and closer to a Billion.”
---------------------------------
I will not allow them to try and paint my uncle as this financial failure who died in debt. That’s their narrative. I will always paint him in the correct light.
A charitable man who believed in giving away more money than he earned and who died still owning music publishing assets worth over 2 Billion dollars (and that’s a low estimate).
Thank you to anyone who listened to my new album #starline last night. Imagine how scary it was to drop that. I just want to thank my team and fans and family who made every step I took possible. thank you to the artists and musicians who were willing to collaborate and create with me. And I thank God’s unchanging hand.
STAR LINE OUT NOW

“The Festival” out now on all major platforms and in your ears forever. I’m so thankful to finally have this body of work, this labor of love, out in the world. I’ve wanted to tell this story for so long, thank you for listening. https://t.co/P3iHRD4URF
Our music has always been deep. It’s always been complex and it’s always been soulful/spiritual. We use hip hop to evolve. To protest. To celebrate. Etc. Art/music plays a role in why a lot of us are proud to be black today. Our culture is all through these genres. Don’t let these people brainwash you into disconnecting from the soul of hip hop by convincing you it isn’t cool or it’s “too deep”. It’s always been that deep for us and it should stay that way. We created it! Once we lose the soul we’ve lost the genre.
Nobody should be redefining our art form but us. Anybody talking shit about hip hop that makes you think or makes you feel something— should immediately be recognized as a opp. Ask yourself what they gain from us watering down our music, taking the soul out, only discussing surface level topics and becoming less conscious. Only a specific group of people benefit from us not being introspective.
Tighten up.
The world has lost music royalty. Tito Jackson’s music, kindness, and legacy will live forever.
His soulful presence and the joy he brought to so many will never be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing your heart with the world, Tito.
