Jermaine Jackson with then-wife Alejandra — who had two kids by his brother Randy.Mark Sullivan/WireImage

After a chance meeting as a young fan, Stacy Brown became friends with the bizarre family of Michael Jackson. For 25 years, he hung out at their Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, Calif., and even ghostwrote their memoirs. He previously wrote about Katherine Jackson’s letters to her son, in which she called Michael a homophobic slur. Here, in Part Two of his memories of life among the Jacksons, he talks about the family member he knows best — Jermaine, the jealous older brother of Michael.

“That was supposed to be me,” Jermaine Jackson said, for the 100th time, talking about the superstardom his younger brother enjoyed.

“That’s why I stayed at Motown. We had plans. But once Michael beat me to it, he made sure it would only be him.”


Of all the Jacksons, none was more tortured by the cult of Michael than Jermaine. He’d spend an entire day ranting against him. The next, he’d go on a talk show and defend him.

All the while was the subtext — it should have been me.

“I still say his timing was what made him the King of Pop,” Jermaine once said. Then he asked to borrow $500 to change the tires on his Mercedes.

Thy Brother’s ‘Wife’
If there’s one best example of how dysfunctional the Jackson family is, know this — Jermaine stole away, then married, the mother of his younger brother Randy’s children.

Randy met Alejandra Oaziaza in 1986, when she was about 17 and he was 24. Randy, seven years younger than Jermaine and three years younger than Michael, missed out on the heyday of the Jacksons’ Motown fame. Too young to appear in the Jackson 5, he nonetheless was enlisted in the family business and would tour with his brothers as he got older (as Michael went solo).


Randy and Alejandra dated for a long time, but never married, having two children — Genevieve and Randy Jr. But Randy proved a bit too immature for Alejandra, and while he was away from home, Jermaine moved in.

“Randy didn’t treat me like I was the one,” Alejandra told me. “I just thought that Jermaine was different, that he was more family oriented.”

In 1995, Jermaine and Alejandra secretly married, later having children of their own — Jaafar, Donte and Jermajesty.

The late Rick James on his prison stay: "After my conviction, I was sent to Folsom. I was moved into a private part of the prison, the "Rich House," because the warden knew a lot of people would be trying to get to me, but in the end, pretty much everyone loved me. These thug life motherfukkers would come over and start in talking shyt and I would talk shyt right back to them."

"I ended up having all the shot-callers real close to me and they put a blanket of love around me. The Mexican Mafia, the 415, the Crips and the Bloods, even the Aryan Race. I had heard the Mexicans had a hit out on me, so I called the head Mexican Mafia shot caller to my cell and he said, "I've been in prison 25 years and your music helped me get through this shyt, I ain't gonna let anyone touch you man. I'd kill one of our people if they fukked with you."

"Many of the guards hated me, but I just told them, "fukk with me and I'll have your ass. I'm too fukking rich and I have a cousin in Congress, so go ahead and fukk with me." They had bets going; who was going to be the first to write me up, send me to detention, shoot me accidentally."

"But soon, even the CO's were growing fond of me. "One of the females smuggled me in a tape recorder that recorded, so I could write and record. Another female officer would smuggle my tapes back out. When I wanted it, I could get steak, escargot, champagne. The female prison guards loved me, the CO motherfukkers even loved me and the rednecks loved me. A few times, I even sent fruit baskets to their old ladies in the street after my people found out their addresses.

I can cosign his time at Folsom . My late pops was a CO while Rick James was there, telling me times that he chopped it up with him. He was in awe of James just like everyone else :wow:

Wish I was able to hear about some fukkery stories he probably told my dad to contribute to the thread :lolbron:

According to Gladys Knight: In 1971, Stevie Wonder demanded an audit and found that instead of getting a 50-50 split, which was standard, he had been getting only 2 percent of his record earnings, Motown was getting 98%.

When Stevie was a child (Little Stevie Wonder) he traveled to Europe with the Motown Revue. He was only paid $2.50 a week in the 1960's.

But when Stevie got big, he got a big pay day. After winning 10 Grammy's in two years, he negotiated the biggest contract in Motown history (worth millions).

zola taylor was sexy :takedat:


She looked like she wasn't that much older than him in that pic. And she was like 27:mindblown:



Also another Frankie Lymon story...


This wealthy Cac chick, who was about Frankie's age, was in love with him and wanted to marry him. Her father I believe was a wealthy concert promoter. So Frankie would call her and tell her he wanted to be with her and marry her and when she told her parents they flipped out. Saying that
She could never marry a black man, even if he was famous like Frankie, because their family was already "too dark".

So she snuck Frankie into her house while her parents were away one day and Frankie ended up stealing some precious valuables. When she called him about him he tearfully apologized and explained he had to take the stuff to exchange for heroin. That was the last time they spoke
