his lawyer just released this statement about his fans:
"I'm not going to ask you whether you listen to his music or have seen his videos or anything like that, but if you look at Mr. Jackson or other Hip Hop artists, they're aspirational," one of the lawyers says. "They come from poverty. Many of their fans are poor. They want their favorite rapper to be rich. Money is important to them. You look at his pre-bankruptcy persona, look at some of the videos, money is important. Filing the bankruptcy by definition presented a real challenge as to how it's going to be handled."
so is this true? if 50 went broke and had to move into a modest community and cut back on the flaunting of the wealth would you still be a fan?
