FAMILY FEUD EXPLODES!
Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, is telling his grandmother Katherine Jackson to beat it!
The 22-year-old has led to block the 93-year-old from using his late father Michael’s multibillion-dollar estate to fund an ongoing legal battle.
The notoriously private budding lmmaker and his siblings Prince, 27, and Paris, 25, are heirs to the late King of Pop’s fortune, and sources say he doesn’t want to waste any more funds appealing a legal issue – the details of which haven’t been made public – his grandmother already lost.
The bad blood doesn’t end there.
According to reports, Prince and the executors of the Jackson estate are trying to sell half of the rights to Michael’s iconic music to Sony.
Katherine, Paris and Bigi are vehemently opposed to the idea, say insiders, and believe it goes against Michael’s wishes and would wipe out the family safety net.
“Ever since Michael died in 2009, there have been intrafamily feuds over his estate,” says a source of the stars, who receive $115 million a year from the Grammy winner’s music catalogue.
“Prince is a budding businessman and believes the quick cash in ux could bankroll his own projects and be worth more to him than having the payments spread out over the course of decades. Paris and Blanket want to keep their dad’s music rights within the family. ey’re never going to see eye to eye.”
Sadly, sources say if the Sony deal goes ahead, it’s likely to forever fracture the famous family. “Katherine is elderly and in poor health, and she’s not likely to be around long to ght these battles,” says a source. “When she’s gone, Prince, Paris and Blanket will be left to deal with each other, and you can already see how it could turn ugly.”
