On this day, June 25th 2009 Michael Jackson who was unarguably regarded one of the world's greatest entertainer died of acute propofol overdose.

The only man who made STRAIGHT grown men squeal like teenagers and FAINT at concerts. Everyone was 'gay' for the King of Pop.

Even after death, his songs are still fetching millions of dollars for his estates
For instance, in March 2010, Sony Music signed a $250 million deal with the Jackson estate to extend their distribution rights to Jackson's back catalog until at least 2017; it had been due to expire in 2015. It was the most expensive music contract for a single artist in history. They agreed to release ten albums of previously unreleased material and new collections of released work. The deal was extended in 2017.That July, a Los Angeles court awarded Quincy Jones $9.4 million of disputed royalty payments for Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. In July 2018, Sony/ATV bought the estate's stake in EMI for $287.5 million.

In 2014, Jackson became the first artist to have a top-ten single in the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades. The following year, Thriller became the first album to be certified for 30 million shipments by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). A year later, it was certified 33× platinum after Soundscan added streams and audio downloads to album certifications.

His influence extended beyond the music industry; he impacted dance, led fashion trends, and raised awareness for global affairs. Jackson's music and videos fostered racial diversity in MTV's roster and steered its focus from rock to pop music and R&B, shaping the channel into a form that proved enduring.

In songs such as "Man in the Mirror", "Black or White", Heal the World, "Earth Song" and "They Don't Care About Us", Jackson's music emphasized racial integration and environmentalism and protested injustice. He is recognized as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time by Guinness World Records.

Make he continue to dey Rest In Peace

You can say that again.
Amongst all greatest artists, Michael was simply the best amongst the best.

These once too used to be my favorite R.Kelly, Phil Collins, Don Williams, Bob Marley, Celine Dion, Diana Ross,West life, Whitney Houston and so on but none have the influence of making a STRAIGHT grown ass men squeal like a kid and faint during musical concerts. No musician has ever evoked such a sensation to pierce the soul aside the king of pop!

I read few days ago that one nonentity called Portable was even comparing himself to MJ. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Someone who is not even worthy to untie MJ's lace.

The GOAT

Dangerous is after jam, just before Black or white

Continue resting in peace, the Legend, Michael Jackson!

You are very correct, though, it could be confusing considering that appeared that way at the end of the black or white music when a black panther transformed to him.
