A lot of conspiracy ideas have come back to life because of the Diddy scandal.

You probably know that the Diddy scandal started or brought back a lot of conspiracy ideas about celebrities, like whether they did bad things or the industry tried to keep them quiet. And yet, Charlamagne It seems like God doesn’t really believe these ideas… Not when it comes to the King of Pop, though. “I’ve been hearing that theory about, you know, the corporations,” he said. “Listen up, I might be wrong.” I don’t believe that many people are important enough for a company to want to do all of this to them. I really mean this, and I know this is a crazy conspiracy idea. I only believe there is one person in Hollywood who was actually set up to be killed. A big plot is what I’m talking about. People are usually working together to bring you down because you did something bad.However, Charlamagne said, “I think they really took down one person because he had too much power.” “I think that person was Michael Jackson.” I really think that. That’s what I think because—you can read the story. Deon Cole was on The Breakfast Club not long ago. Debon Cole told us how he and Paul McCartney got high, and McCartney told him. The two of them used to be really cool. “Yo, you got to get your business together, you got to get your business right,” Paul told Michael. He told him about the game of publishing. Michael became so famous that he bought The Beatles’ record company. So valuable was The Beatles’ publishing that Sony gave Michael Jackson half of their publishing company just to get The Beatles’ collection.

“So whenever you used to see – look it up!” he told us. “When you saw Sony ATV, that was Sony, and ATV was Michael Jackson’s publishing company, right?” Think about how strong a Black man is if he owns most of the publishing in the music business. And with some artists, was even giving them back their press. He returned Little Richard’s printing. He gave Little Richard his press back. I don’t know how many other people he did that for. To give you an idea, Sony paid $750 million to get Michael Jackson’s – what was it? – 50% share in Sony ATV Music Publishing in 2016. Jackson and Sony joined forces to make this business in 1995. Sony now owns the biggest music production company in the world by itself. I think this is all part of a plot. Also, this is Brilliant Idiots; we’re just chatting; it’s a podcast.

“I believe that Michael Jackson had too much power in the music industry, had too much control over the most valuable asset in music which is people’s publishing, and I believe they had to take him out because of it,” he said. “You know, smear his name and get him out of here somewhere.” In 2016, they got their bag for a lot less money than they probably would have paid if he were still alive. He is the one. People who are crazy talk about how Bill Cosby tried to buy NBC… Well, no. The only person in entertainment—note that I said entertainment—that I believe in is him. In other fields that really matter, conspiracies happen all the time. But in the entertainment business, he’s the only person I think they killed because they ruined his image.
