Charlamagne Tha God recently discussed Michael Jackson during an appearance on the Brilliant Idiots podcast on October 5, 2024. Jackson, who died in 2009, remains a topic of conversation for a variety of reasons.
In a debate regarding Diddy’s ongoing legal difficulties with Andrew Schulz, Charlamagne turned the topic, claiming, “There’s only one person in Hollywood that I feel they colluded to take down.
I am talking about a massive conspiracy… I feel Michael Jackson was the one they actually pulled down because he wielded too much power.
Also known as Lenard Larry McKelvey, Charlamagne emphasized how a black man gains immense power when he controls a significant part of the music industry.
He pointed to the time when Sony acquired Jackson’s 50% stake in Sony ATV Music Publishing for $750 million in 2016.
Charlamagne further elaborated, stating that the situation was part of a larger conspiracy theory, adding, “I believe 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 that, smear his name, eventually get him up out of here.”
He reiterated his belief in the conspiracy surrounding Jackson’s downfall, saying, “He’s the one person I believe actually they ruined his reputation and ultimately killed him.”
Diddy, also known as Sean Love Combs, was arrested on September 16, 2024, on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
This followed a grand jury indictment linked to raids at his home in March, along with footage that allegedly showed him assaulting Cassie Ventura. Since then, a new rumor has surfaced online.
