A few songs on Michael Jackson’s 2010 posthumous album Michael were pulled by at least two streaming services after it was claimed the award-winning singer didn’t sing on the tracks.
According to reports, Sony Music and Jackson’s estate decided to remove “Breaking News,” “Monster,” and “Keep Your Head Up” from the platform.
The tracks were no longer accessible on Apple Music and Spotify yesterday. Sony Music and Michael Jackson’s estate announced in a joint statement, “The album’s remaining tracks remain available.” The statement continued, “Nothing should be read into this action concerning the authenticity of the tracks – it is just time to move beyond the distraction surrounding them.”
There have long been rumors among fans that the King of Pop’s most recent vocals are the work of an impersonator named Jason Malachi.
As part of Drake’s fifth studio album, Scorpion, Drake released the song “Don’t Matter to Me,” which featured Jackson.
Twitter users quickly began to have doubts about the collaboration.
“Damn, so Sony been releasing fake Michael Jackson songs? It’s actually an impersonator named Jason Malachi. I knew that feature on Drake’s song was questionable af smh,” a tweet from 2018 reads.
In another post from 2018, a fan brought up the ongoing rumor: “This story keeps changing, but all I’m saying is that I hope Drake kept his receipt and has a good return policy for ‘Don’t Matter to Me.'”
Sony released a statement defending the posthumous 2010 album well before the Drake and Jackson debate. “We have complete confidence in the results of our extensive research as well as the accounts of those who were in the studio with Michael that the vocals on the new album are his own,” the label said.
