Statement on Eminem's "Just Lose It" Music Video

Raymone Bain, press release

Michael Jackson would like to thank his fans, from all over the world,

for their love and support. He loves you all very much. He and his

family are doing fine, and he, and his brother, Randy, wants you to

know that they appreciate all of the cards and letters that you have

sent.

In addition, Michael sends a special thank you for all of the support you have

given to him regarding the Eminem situation. Eminem is wrong. Eminem

owes Mr. Jackson a public apology; and, the video needs to be pulled from

MTV, MTV2 and MTVEurope.

As he’s said, he is not taking this lightly. The video was demeaning and

disrespectful to him, his children, his family, and the community at large.

He appreciates all that you have done as well as Bob Johnson, Chairman/

CEO of BET, Comedian Steve Harvey, Radio One, The Source, and many,

many others who have either written letters or spoken out on his behalf.

We are not through in our fight. He is very strong, and we are all going

to continue in our efforts to make sure that this video is pulled, and the song

is removed from Eminem’s upcoming album.

Thank you all very much!
