<p>Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;youngest&#8221; son, Biggie Jackson, has petitioned the court to deny his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, Michael&#8217;s mother, permission to use Michael&#8217;s estate as court costs. The U.S. TMZ reported.</p>

<p>The &#8220;King of Pop&#8221; Michael, who died suddenly at the age of 50 from an overdose of the narcotic anesthetic Propofol in 2009, had three children: Prince Jackson, his eldest son; Paris Jackson, his eldest daughter who is a singer and actress; and Biggie Jackson, He had three children: Prince Jackson, his eldest son; Paris Jackson, his eldest daughter, who is a singer and actress; and Biggie Jackson.</p>
<p>Michael&#8217;s estate, said to be worth $2 billion (about 300 billion yen), has been complicated by the involvement of Katherine, Michael&#8217;s three children, and Michael&#8217;s estate management organization.</p>
<p>It all started when Michael&#8217;s estate&#8217;s co-executors, attorney John Branca and A&amp;R executive John McClain, struck a deal to sell about half of Michael&#8217;s music to Sony for $600 million (about ¥90 billion).</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The two claimed that the deal was in favor of Michael&#8217;s foundation and in the best interest of the beneficiaries.</span></p>

<p>She argues that &#8220;it would be better to wait a few years to maximize the value.</p>
<p>Initially, Michael&#8217;s three children joined Catherine in filing a lawsuit against the sale, but lost. Katherine decided to appeal the decision, but Bigi opposed the appeal. She also applied to the court to disallow Michael&#8217;s estate from being used to pay for the appeal trial.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent">Biggie argues that there is little chance of winning an appeal and that continuing the dispute would be a waste of Michael&#8217;s estate. Her eldest daughter, Paris, and eldest son, Prince, also accepted the first trial court&#8217;s decision and are opposed to Katherine&#8217;s insistence on an appeal.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Katherine, the &#8220;godmother&#8221; of Michael&#8217;s family, is a life beneficiary of a portion of Michael&#8217;s estate and has received more than $55 million (approximately 8.25 billion yen) since his death. In addition, the children seem to be rebelling against their grandmother, who is trying to use Michael&#8217;s estate in the appeal trial as well.</p>
<p>Bigi, who led the rebellion among such children, wrote and directed the movie &#8220;Rochelles&#8221; (original title: Rochelles), which was released in February and attracted a lot of attention.</p>
<p>Her eldest son, Prince, graduated in &#8217;19 from Loyola Marymount University in California with a degree in business administration, and the 27-year-old Prince praised Bigi, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on February 21, on Instagram Stories.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;You did it. My brother followed his (film) dream and won an award.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>He congratulated her.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>Until now, Paris, the eldest daughter, has been the focus of media attention for her flamboyant personal life, but Bigi, who has had a low profile, is beginning to show his presence by working in the film industry and attracting attention, which is different from his father&#8217;s. In May, Catherine&#8217;s appeal was heard in the court of appeal.</p>
<p>In May, a hearing is scheduled to be held on Catherine&#8217;s appeal. What will be the outcome of the &#8220;grandmother vs. grandson&#8221; trial?</p>
