The Jackson family is at it again and it is stealing the thunder from Michael’s long awaited biopic. While the world is ready to celebrate the King of Pop these self created problems are threatening to overshadow the film. Jealousy is a powerful drug in this industry but it seems the family is taking things way too far this time.
Is this a genuine dispute or just another case of the siblings fighting for the spotlight?
Watch the official trailer that the Jackson family is reportedly fighting over right now.
Michael (2026) Official Trailer – Jaafar Jackson
Reports just broke the internet claiming Janet Jackson and Jermaine are in a fiery dispute over the new movie. Janet allegedly offered a brutal critique of every scene from the acting to the makeup.
Jermaine reportedly fired back and called her insanely jealous. He told her she was going to miss the wave of success. While the inner circle claims these reports are a total lie the timing could not be worse for the April 24 release.
This family drama is a massive distraction from the fact that Michael’s own nephew Jaafar is playing the lead role. It feels like the family is more focused on their own friction than Michael’s legacy.

He knew dancing was his calling. Now he’s calling the shots on stage for Janet Jackson
Janet’s creative director Gil Duldulao has been her loyal protector for 25 years. He was the first to shut down the rumors by laughing them off on social media.
However the narrative is already out there and it is spreading like wildfire. When the family starts leaking stories about jealousy and bitterness the music itself gets lost in the noise.
We want to see the magic of the King of Pop not a battle of egos. It is time for the family to let Michael have his moment without the side show.
