Michael Jackson has been claimed to have officially become a Muslim, and changed his name to Mikaeel.
He reportedly converted to Islam in a ceremony at a friend’s house in LA, as he sat on the floor and worn a small hat while an imam officiated at the home of Steve Porcaro, the composer of his Thriller album in 1982, the best selling album of all time,
According to the Daily Mail:
“They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea. An imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.”
Also Sheikh Abdullah, the second son of the king of Bahrain has been claimed that he owes him $7m for failing to fulfill his obligations under a contract agreed between them. Jackson allegedly refuses to attend the court saying his medical conditions prevents him from flying oversees.
Sheikh apparently becomes good friend with Jackson while he was visiting Bahrain and he plans to build a permanent base for Jackson in the country.
He starts providing financial assistance to Jackson during his trial for allegations of child molestation in 2006, “temporarily support his lifestyle …on the basis that he would pay me back from his share of the revenue that would be generated by our proposed recording venture”.
UK paper guardian reports:
“They then agreed to create and record a new Michael Jackson album and establish other business ventures including a recording academy where Jackson would teach, and a museum of Jackson memorabilia in Bahrain, a ghost written autobiography, and a stage play, the sheikh says. The main element of his claim however is an agreement, cementing their partnership and agreeing the advance to Jackson.The relationship soured in mid-2006 when Jackson returned to the US to face a number of other lawsuits and did not return to Bahrain, the sheikh said.”
