Lionel Richie says Michael Jackson stunk so much, Quincy Jones nicknamed him 'Smelly'

[morris]

Q has called Mike "Smelly" in damn near every one of his documentaries and interviews. That's not new.

Secondly, Lionel Richie is a bum.

[Billie Jean]

This is pure bs

MJ called good music "smelly" cause he didnt like the word funky and Quincy went wit it. Lionels a hating ass negroe

Is it actually true that Lionel Richie caught his break in the industry simply because Rick James was a coked out head case who pissed off the execs later in his career?

Not quite. The Commodores were already a thing. Lionel was about to get started on his solo ventures and that's where that came from.

That's part of his story but he was in the commodores before he went solo.

Lionel Richie says Michael Jackson stunk so much, Quincy Jones nicknamed him 'Smelly'

Lionel Richie says that while working on the charity single 'We Are the World' in the mid-'80s, Quincy Jones gave Michael Jackson the nickname 'Smelly' because of his hygiene habits.

It's Known that Quincy called him smelly.

But I never heard Quincy say it's because he smelled.

If it's a fact fine.

It's strange that Lionel would say that now.

Quincy Jones said in an interview that his nickname for Michael wasn't because of his smell.


Quincy said a lot of negative shyt about Michael, he did that about everybody. Quincy sued Michael. Qunicy said Michael was stealing ideals from Donna Summer, etc.

Lionel and Qunicy both have bad reputations in the industry.

This is what happened when the record exec contacted Lionel:

Damn Lionel….. I wish he ain’t put that out there….

But to a degree I can see that…. MJ in his prime couldnt just get a bodyguard and go to a mall.

Any sight of him would shut a city down…. It would be a mob and it probably would be crazy expensive to do some shyt like shut down a mall for a day or have them open up all the stores after hours just to accommodate him.

And back then, was like the social media era where he can just buy something online or have someone go to a story and face time shyt.

yes there were options just just inconvenient

No is as famous at MJ or ever will

How about

Need receipts on this, Mike was a very fashionable/stylish dude before he went complete hermit status. Folks that been around him the most never said anything like that, either way whatever

 

[god shamgod]

What’s the point in saying this? Mj been dead 16 years

Fukk , Lionel “I rather be called black than aa “ sell out clown Richie with his half breed kids.Sunday morning & hello the only songs I ever liked by this soul glow rocking fool

I will say this, I have a friend who use to work at the airport, she met Mike and I'll never forget she was raving about how good he smelled. She was telling me he had the best cologne she's ever smelt. Fuk Lionel
