Quincy Jones has been lighting the media up with some of the information he has revealed in his interviews. Just about a month shy of his 85th birthday, Quincy has claimed to have 22 girlfriends across the globe who each know about one another. In a scorching interview with Vulture, he speaks about the problem with pop music, dating Ivanka Trump and how much of a wild time the 70s era was - so wild Marlon Brando allegedly hooked up with genius talents Richard Pryor, James Baldwin, and Marvin Gaye.
Quincy worked closely with Michael Jackson having produced albums Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), and Bad (1987). While in conversation with Vulture spoke about "a secret Michael Jackson" disclosing information about the icon the average fan would not know. Q said, "I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs. [Donna Summer’s] "State of Independence" and "Billie Jean." The notes don’t lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come." He went on to call Jackson, "greedy" saying that he refused to give a percentage of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" to Greg Phillinganes for composing the c section of the hit song.
Quincy went on to share how he would often go in on Michael Jackson for his obsession with plastic surgery. Michael transformed his look, whitening his skin and having cosmetic surgery often linking it to suffering from vitiligo. "I used to kill him about the plastic surgery, man. He’d always justify it and say it was because of some disease he had. Bullshit," Quincy retorted. The famed producer said that the issue stemmed from the abuse Michael suffered from at the hand of his father Joe Jackson who would tell the late star he was ugly.
