Michael Jackson’s family is embroiled in a complex legal dispute, with tensions rising between his son, Bigi Jackson, and his grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Bigi, whose legal name is Blanket, has recently filed court documents aimed at preventing Katherine from using funds from Michael’s estate to finance her ongoing legal battles.

The conflict centers around Katherine’s appeal against a court decision that Bigi and his grandmother initially opposed together. The pair previously took action to halt a significant business transaction involving the management of Michael Jackson’s estate. While the specifics of this deal remain unclear, it has been speculated that it relates to the estate’s agreement with Sony to sell approximately half of Michael’s music catalog for a staggering $600 million.

Despite their united front, the court ultimately ruled against Bigi and Katherine, allowing the transaction to proceed. However, Katherine’s decision to appeal has created a rift between her and Bigi. He has expressed his desire to dissociate from her appeal, arguing that it should not be funded by the estate, which he is an heir to. Bigi emphasizes that he believes the appeal lacks a real chance of success and does not serve the best interests of the trust’s beneficiaries.

In his court documents, Bigi has suggested that Katherine should be granted reasonable attorney’s fees for her prior legal expenses, acknowledging her right to compensation while insisting it should be fair and not excessive. This request follows reports that she received a seven-figure allowance for the year, leading to speculation that she should utilize those funds rather than draw from the estate’s resources.

As the family navigates this legal turmoil, all eyes are on the court for a decision. The ongoing disagreements reveal deep divisions within the Jackson family, raising questions about the future management of Michael’s legacy.
