Still trying to profit off his lil brother…I never liked him he was always about himself….
Thats what I said. His own blood brother is gone, and he’s trying to make money off of him. Jermaine was never that famous, but Michael was. What a jerk!

Inside The Sibling Rivalry Between Michael And Jermaine Jackson
Jermaine Jackson is widely cited as the brother who most openly expressed jealousy and resentment towards Michael Jackson’s massive success, feeling his own solo career was overshadowed and that he was the intended star, leading to public feuds and diss tracks like “Word to the Badd”. Other siblings, including La Toya, have also commented on Jermaine’s jealousy, though some family insiders suggest brotherly competition and the strain of Michael’s fame played a role.
