Michael Jackson calls for the removal of a video of Eminem that parodies him with children in bed
"Jackson believes that Eminem has crossed the line," says the artist's spokesman, who is going through his lowest hours
Michael Jackson, who is facing a trial for alleged sexual abuse of a minor, has requested that the broadcast of a video of Eminem, entitled Just lose it, in which the rapper disguises himself as Michael Jackson and suffers a series of vicissitudes be suspended: his nose falls off, he vomits, his hair burns and he ends up sitting on a bed surrounded by children. "Jackson believes that Eminem has crossed the line," said the spokesman for the Peter Pan of pop, who is going through the lowest hours of him.
"Michael is very angry with this video," said his spokeswoman, Raymone Bain. "He thinks Eminem crossed the line. It's one thing to make jokes about someone, but it's another to be so disrespectful," she added. The video is being broadcast by MTV, among other channels.
Jackson wants the video to stop being broadcast. As always, Eminem's lyrics are explicit: "Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap? And I don't mean rap, as in a case of child molestation." , on my knees. Don't you know who came back with a new rap? And I don't mean rap as in a case of child abuse "). The word rap, apart from a certain musical style, means "to touch" and "to accuse".
"Wrong, insensitive and degrading"
The song also pokes fun at the massive amount of plastic surgery Jackson has undergone. Thus, in one scene in the video, the singer's nose falls off. Jackson "thinks it is wrong, insensitive, degrading and disrespectful, and his priority is getting it to stop airing," said his spokeswoman. The singer, at the moment, does not plan to take legal action against Eminem and for now is trying to convince television channels not to broadcast the video, he said.
Jackson has managed to get Black Entertainment Television to agree to stop running the song, but MTV continues to put it on, reported Raymone Bain. Michael Jackson, father of three children, is charged with ten counts, including sexual abuse of a minor, conspiracy to kidnap him and supply him with a toxic agent (wine). The trial will begin on January 31.
The singer was already accused of sexual abuse of a minor in 1993, but a year later he reached a millionaire settlement with the relatives of the alleged victim and criminal charges were never filed. According to recently released data, Jackson paid $ 15 million to that boy, now a young man in his early 20s.
