The children and mother of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, have been blocked from receiving funds from his trust until a longstanding legal issue is resolved.
According to court documents, Prince, 27, Paris, 26 and Bigi Jackson, 22, as well as their grandmother, Katherine, 94, have been temporarily prevented from accessing the funds from Michael Jackson’s trust. The root of this issue lies in an ongoing dispute between the singer’s estate and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The legal saga began when IRS officials issued the estate “a note of deficiency” following a tax audit, alleging that the estate “undervalued its assets” and owed “$700 million in taxes and penalties.” The estate contested these findings and ultimately prevailed in its case in 2021. However, the estate has since filed a motion to reconsider the valuation of the singer’s back catalog, leaving the overall value of the estate for tax purposes in limbo.

Michael Jackson‘s three children Paris, Prince and Bigi (aka Blanket) made a very rare red carpet appearance together to support their father’s memory.
The trio – 25, 27 and 22, respectively – attended opening night of Mj: The Musical, the musical inspired by their father’s music, at Prince Edward Theatre in London, England on Wednesday night (March 27).

Michael Jackson’s son, Bigi, 22, (formerly known as Blanket), has taken his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, to court.
According to court documents, Bigi has requested that Katherine be prohibited from utilizing the late pop legend’s estate to finance her legal dispute against the executors regarding an undisclosed “recent transaction.”
Bigi’s argument centers around the notion that since the estate would not derive any “benefit” from Katherine’s appeal against co-executors John Branca and John McClain, it should not have to cover any of her legal costs.
The appeal pertains to the executors’ previous request for approval to proceed with an unspecified transaction. Although not explicitly named in the filing, it seems to be the Jackson estate’s estimated $600 million catalog sale to Sony.
Initially, Bigi and Katherine were aligned in opposition to the estate’s proposed transaction. However, after a court ruling last year in favor of the deal,...

Michael Jackson‘s oldest child Prince made a rare but meaningful public appearance on Thursday (March 14).
The 27-year-old son of the King of Pop and brother to siblings Paris, 25, and Bigi (aka Blanket), 22, was spotted on the set of Michael – a forthcoming biopic about his dad.
Prince has already shown the movie – due out in 2025 and starring his cousin Jaafar as Michael – a lot of love.

Back in February, he shared a first look at Jaafar in character as the iconic musician. He paid his cousin high praise, telling him that “watching you perform and work your butt off is the closest I’ll ever come to watching my dad in concert and it’s been a dream come true!”
Jaafar was also spotted on set, but it doesn’t look like he and Prince interacted this time.

Brockhampton founder Kevin Abstract has shared another new song, “Running Out,” from his upcoming solo album, Blanket, out Nov. 3.
The song finds Abstract continuing to explore the contours of indie and alternative rock, with a simmering lo-fi guitar riff that gives way to the uneasy keen of a synth. The song is moody and somber even as Abstract maintains his penchant for pop craftsmanship, especially with his melodic choices as he sings, “I really think you understand/I’m guilty, boy, in my grief/I really think you understand me...
