During Michael Jackson’s appearance at the demonstration against Sony Music earlier today, the King of Pop charged Sony Music chairman Tommy Mottola of being a racist. Jackson said he was “mean, he’s a racist, and he’s very, very, very devilish.” Jackson also accused Mottola of using “the n-word” when speaking about an unidentified black Sony artist.
As for the industry in general, Jackson fumed, “The recording companies really, really do conspire against the artists – they steal, they cheat, they do everything they can. (Especially) against the black artists.”
