Michael Jackson did not only own the 50% stake but also the rights to a last wealth of popular songs. This 50% stake was bought back by Sony last year after paying $750 million.

Chris Brown particularly clicked with Paris, and over the years they’ve got really close. Chris Brown thinks of Paris as being his little sister, and has been there for her during some really tough times. So, when it comes down to it, Chris Brown and Paris are just friends.

Paris Jackson was very perturbed by these rumors and during an interview with The Rolling Stones, she cleared all of them, “He is my father. He will always be my father. He never wasn’t, and he will never not be. People that knew him very well say that they see him in me, that is the most scary,” she said. “I consider myself black. [Michael] would look me in the eyes and he’d point his finger at me and he’d be like, ‘You’re black. Be proud of your roots.’” Paris Jackson was raised by her grandma Katherine Jackson after her mother Debbie Rowe divorced Michael Jackson after three years of marriage and gave up the custody rights to him.
