Legendary producer Quincy Jones just spilled some major Michael Jackson tea

“I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs. [Donna Summer’s] ‘State of Independence’ and ‘Billie Jean.’ The notes don’t lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come.

Greedy, man. Greedy. ‘Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough’ — Greg Phillinganes wrote the c section. Michael should’ve given him 10 percent of the song. Wouldn’t do it.”— Just one drop of tea spilled by Quincy Jones in an interview with Vulture that covers his true feelings on the Beatles, why Jimi Hendrix never played with Herbie Hancock, and who was responsible for the death of JFK.
