Diddy scandal has either created or revived a lot of conspiracy theories around celebrities, whether they’re responsible for abhorrent things or they were silenced by the industry.

However, Charlamagne Tha God doesn’t take these theories very seriously; except when talking about the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

“I’ve been hearing that theory about, you know, the corporations,” he began.

“Listen, I could be totally wrong. I don’t think that there’s too many people that are important enough for a corporation to want to do all this to. I mean this when I say this, and I know that this is a crazy conspiracy theory. There’s only one person I believe in Hollywood who people conspired to actually take down. I’m talking about a mass conspiracy. Anytime they take you down, it’s people conspiring, ‘Cause it’s usually because you did some s**t.

“But I think that there’s one person who they really took down because he had too much power,” Charlamagne continued.

” I believe that person was Michael Jackson. I truly believe that. The reason I believe that is because – you can look into the story. You know, we had Deon Cole on The Breakfast Club the other day. Deon Cole told us the story of how he got high with Paul McCartney, and Paul McCartney told him. Paul McCartney and Michael used to be real cool.

“Paul was telling Michael, like, ‘Yo, you got to get your business together, you got to get your business right.’

He told him about the publishing game. Michael ended up getting so big that he bought The Beatles’ publishing. The Beatles’ publishing was worth so much that, literally, Sony gave Michael Jackson half of their publishing company just to own The Beatles’ catalog.

“So whenever you used to see – look it up! They killed his reputation and ultimately killed him.”
