Jackson Family Feud Over Tribute Concert (video)
Three of Michael Jackson’s siblings were no-shows at his “Forever Michael” Tribute concert in England over the weekend.
Pop star Janet Jackson and her brothers, Randy and Jermaine Jackson, decided not to attend the tribute concert because they considered it inappropriate to hold the concert while the Conrad Murray manslaughter trial was still ongoing in Los Angeles.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Janet, 45, said “Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me,” her statement reads.
Her older brothers Randy, 49, and Jermaine, aka Muhammed Abdul Aziz, 56, released a joint statement on the day the concert was announced:
“There will come a time and place for an amazing and deserving tribute to Michael,” the brothers’ statement read. “But we feel that the most important tribute we can give to our brother at this time is to seek justice in his name.”
According to ABC News, there is also criticism that the Jackson family is keeping some of the money that’s supposed to be earmarked for charities. There are rumors that this is the reason several A-list celebrities pulled out of the concert.
Watch the video after the break.

I agree with Janet and nem.
@ kingstonn: yes, he is. He converted after marrying his current wife, who is Muslim.
Janet probably didn’t come because she felt it was inappropriate, Randy and Jermaine didn’t come because their cut wasn’t big enough.

I guess he thought changing his name would get him out child support payments
I’m mad that they are still introducing that boy as Blanket.
In the words of Katt Williams (edited a bit) “You can’t name a black baby anything soft. Not blanket, not comforter, nothing!
LOL

sooooooooooooooooooo….they converting religions over some azz now????
After Jermiane (I refuse to call him by his new Muslim name) Word to the Badd, it was made very clear that he had some issues with Michael. Jermaine always wanted to be THE brother, and he consistently was overshadowed by Michael. Now it seems he and his family want to continue making money off of his name. Michael wasn’t even close with them when he was alive. SMH.
I do applaud he and Randy and Janet for not attending this “concert”.

Where can I see this interview?
Poor MJ. His family is capitalizing off his death and I feel like he wouldn’t have wanted all of this …
Which two brothers have kids by the same woman? Them poor kids are brothers and first cousins
chris brown? that’s right, according to chris’ mom, MJ died for him.
I have to agree with what Jermaine said during their show. When he or the family puts something together, they’re tryna profit off MJ’s name, but you have all these other people who do it and it’s commended.
So what if they’re getting money from these concerts. It takes time, effort and money to run any fundraiser, charity, or organization. I’m with Jermaine on this one. I too was surprised this show was scheduled during the trial. it’s not like it’s the anniversary of his death or his bday. I guess.
LAWD I LOVE ME SOME JANET DAMITAJO!

@ Point….I said it was in bad taste to have a tribute at this time too.

@jmo-it’s jermaine and randy. each have 2 kids by the same woman. and until recently she stayed at the house w/ katherine and all of her kids…she might still be there.

Is this happening to anyone else?
@BIGTYME
They been trying to get that hoochie out of that house for a while now. I think she was threating to write a tell-all if they didn’t let her stay.

I know Katherine has to be so shamed of how her family acts. They just can’t seem to get on one accord and stand together.
