Jermaine Jackson criticizes brother Michael Jackson
Before Michael died, Jermaine wrote a book proposal about Michael. The title of the book was going to be “Legacy.”
MSNBC obtained excerpts from the book proposal written by Jermaine.
Jermaine wrote “”My brother is not what the world thinks he is; he’s not what we’ve always told you he was either. My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human.”
Of course, Jermaine has no plans of releasing the book now that Michael has died.
Jermaine was originally the lead singer of the Jackson 5 until Michael took over in 1968.
Jermaine pursued a solo career after the group disbanded, but he never reached the level of musical success as Michael.
Also, Jermaine released a song in 1991 titled “Word to the Badd,” where he criticized Michael in the lyrics.
Maybe Jermaine was telling the truth in his book proposal, or maybe he exaggerated because he was jealous of Michael stealing the spotlight from him, or maybe it was sibling rivalry.
Too bad we won’t get to read the entire book.
