This development adds another layer to the ongoing feud with the executors of Michael Jackson’s estate.
Shift from Unity to Conflict
Previously, Blanket and his grandmother collaborated smoothly on family legal matters. However, this latest move signals a departure from their previous harmony.

Concerns Raised by Blanket’s Legal Team
Blanket’s legal representatives have expressed concerns about the potential financial strain from costly legal battles on the estate. They have also stressed Blanket’s desire for confidentiality regarding certain aspects of the dispute, highlighting his private nature.
