BTS rumoured to feature on Michael Jackson tribute album, and MJ fans are calling it a 'disrespect': 'No, thank you'
South Korean boy band BTS' comeback is inarguably one of the most anticipated events in global pop culture. The septet is set to release a new album in spring 2026 and is currently in Los Angeles working on the upcoming project. While the members have remained tight-lipped about their professional plans, they've kept fans engaged with glimpses into their personal lives. Now, fresh rumours suggest that BTS has recorded vocals for unreleased Michael Jackson tracks as part of a forthcoming tribute album. For long-time fans of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the news isn't all that surprising, especially since Jungkook has frequently cited the late pop icon as a major influence. However, those unfamiliar with BTS' global impact and musical legacy have voiced scepticism, questioning whether a Korean boy band should be involved in preserving Michael Jackson's heritage. This has now ignited a heated debate on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit. Scroll ahead to find out more. Michael Jackson's upcoming tribute album and BTS' involvement According to MJ VIBE, a well-respected Michael Jackson fan community, Michael Jackson spent five months living at Grouse Lodge in Ireland back in 2006, working on music with top-tier producers and artists alongside his family. Although those sessions were never completed before his passing in 2009, the recordings were safely preserved, and now, studio owner Paddy Dunning is leading a new effort to bring Jackson's unfinished vision to life. After a recent trip to the U.S., Dunning revealed that several major global artists are now involved in the project. 'The sessions started last year, and we've already had the Korean boy band BTS over at Grouse Lodge recording one of the songs,' he told The Irish Sun. 'There are about ten more tracks written specifically for Michael by his collaborators here in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, both of whom are fully on board.' While there's no official confirmation yet, sources say BTS has already wrapped up their recording session, news that has sent ARMYs into overdrive. However, fans of Michael Jackson are not really impressed. BTS and Michael Jackson collab: Why is the internet divided? Over on Michael Jackson's fan subreddit, reactions to the rumoured BTS collaboration have been mixed, with many fans of the late pop icon expressing scepticism and frustration. One user strongly criticised the decision, writing, "It pisses me off that the estate continues to disrespect MJ and the fan community this way. This isn't the first time they've lent unreleased/unheard music to other artists. I don't care who the artist is, how big of a fan they are, etc. The estate hasn't released 'new' music in over a decade. This is all a big middle finger to us all and to MJ, as if he's not good enough to release his own versions of these songs. Piss on Branca." Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "They can keep it and just give us the Michael Jackson version only, and plus, I want more footage of him anyway!" A third chimed in, "Don't want it. Their company likes to hop on things that would make them the most money. If it's an unreleased song, I'd rather hear Michael sing it." Some reactions were more direct and critical of BTS themselves. One user commented, "Sorry, but no. K-pop sucks, and it's just a culture-vulture artificial genre. Sucks." Another added, "These should either remain unreleased or be released with only MJ's vocals. How much I like BTS & Justin Timberlake (equally, btw), imo the original versions should've been the only ones released." Still, not all fans were opposed to the idea. Several users voiced their support for the rumoured project, suggesting that Michael Jackson would have appreciated BTS and their global impact. "I'm a big fan of both, so this is actually enticing news for me. Plus, I know how much BTS genuinely loves and admires MJ, and their work ethic seems to be unmatched compared to most mainstream US pop artists who are, at this point, lacklustre and famous more for their looks than talent or performances," one user shared.

Who is Safira, Sunjay Kapur's stepdaughter, caught in the Rs 30,000 crore succession battle?
Sunjay Kapur died on 12 June 2025 while playing polo at Guards Polo Club in London. Witnesses say he collapsed shortly after exiting the field. Sources close to the family claim a bee sting to his throat caused a sudden heart attack. He was pronounced dead on site. His passing, initially mourned as a tragic accident, quickly spiralled into something else entirely. A sprawling inheritance, unresolved legal claims, and growing unease around corporate appointments have pulled the curtain back on deep family fractures.

Two with actor Karisma Kapoor : daughter Samaira (20) and son Kiaan (14). A third, Azarius (6), was born to his current wife Priya Sachdev Kapur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This might be relevant for you Undo In addition, there's Safira , Priya's daughter from her previous marriage to hotelier Vikram Chatwal . Reports suggest Sunjay legally adopted her. That status, if verified, gives her equal footing with his biological children under Indian inheritance law. However, if adopted, she may no longer have a claim to her biological father's estate. The legal standing of these relationships now defines who may inherit what from the vast Rs 30,000 crore fortune, which includes a key stake in Sona Comstar , held via the RK Family Trust . Live Events Priya and Safira: Name changes stir the pot Social media sleuths were quick to point out that both Priya and Safira appear to have changed their surnames online. Priya now goes by Priya Sunjay Kapur , while Safira has removed 'Chatwal' from her profile. The timing of these name changes, coming just weeks after Sunjay's death has set off speculation. Some online users saw it as strategic. One Reddit user posted, 'This is all playing out like a corporate soap opera. First Priya changes her name, now her daughter? Looks like a calculated move in a bigger game.' Others saw it differently. 'Sunjay had legally adopted Safira. She has every right to honour him in her name,' said another commenter. Samaira and Kiaan: Financially secured but not in control Despite the 2016 divorce between Karisma and Sunjay, his children from that marriage appear to have been financially looked after. Media reports say Samaira and Kiaan were each given bonds worth Rs 14 crore and guaranteed a monthly income of Rs 10 lakh. Karisma Kapoor was reportedly given a home that previously belonged to Sunjay's father, Dr Surinder Kapur. A family source told ETimes, 'The children will receive what is due to them. Karisma's focus remains entirely on them.' That same source also said, 'Karisma Kapoor is not involved in any inheritance or property-related matters. She has no claim, nor is she seeking any share in the estate.' Priya and Azarius: Heirs by law As Sunjay's wife at the time of his death, Priya is automatically entitled to a significant share of his estate in the absence of a will. Their son, Azarius, being his biological child, is also a direct legal heir. Sunjay was the sole beneficiary of the RK Family Trust, which controls the promoter stake in Sona Comstar via Aureus Investments Pvt Ltd. This places both Priya and Azarius in a powerful legal position, especially if no formal will emerges. Safira's legal status remains unclear If Sunjay legally adopted Safira, she is entitled to inherit. But this also complicates her relationship with her biological father, Vikram Chatwal, as Indian law prevents dual inheritance across biological and adoptive families. There is no public record of a will, and without that, the decision may fall to the courts. Her Instagram shows no surname at present. Priya's account now reads 'Priya S Kapur'. Whether 'S' stands for Sunjay or Sachdev, observers have not stopped guessing. Sunjay Kapur's mother Rani Kapur speaks out Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, has publicly challenged recent developments within the company. She submitted a letter to SEBI and shareholders raising concerns about her treatment and the direction of the firm. 'I was emotionally shattered and coerced into signing documents I hadn't seen. This AGM is a betrayal of the family legacy,' she wrote, objecting to Priya's appointment as non-executive director of Sona Comstar. She also told ANI, 'I still don't know what happened to my son. I'm old now, and I need closure before I go.' She added, 'Our family legacy must not be lost. It must be passed on as my husband always wanted it to be.' The company responded firmly. It stated that Rani Kapur had not held shares in the firm since 2019 and that Priya's appointment was made with shareholder approval and due process. Sona Comstar is still moving, but shares take a hit Following Sunjay's death, Sona Comstar's shares dropped by 7 percent, reflecting investor anxiety over the leadership vacuum and family discord. The firm has since appointed Jeffrey Mark Overly as its new chairman. In a statement, the company said, 'His vision, values, and dedication to excellence have left a lasting legacy for the company. We assure our customers, business partners, employees, and shareholders that our operations and prospects remain unchanged as we honour his legacy.' Sunjay Kapur: Family, marriage, and divorce history Sunjay Kapur married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. They had Samaira in 2005 and Kiaan in 2011. The couple separated in 2014 and divorced two years later, with Karisma retaining custody and Sunjay receiving visitation rights. He later married Priya Sachdev, a model and entrepreneur. They had a son, Azarius, in 2018. Before both women, Sunjay was also briefly married to designer Nandita Mahtani. Safira, born in 2007, is Priya's daughter with Vikram Chatwal. The couple divorced in 2011. According to BollywoodShaadis, Sunjay legally adopted Safira under Indian law. She currently studies at Marlborough College in the UK and is said to be interested in international relations and geopolitics. More than a month after Sunjay Kapur's sudden death, the questions haven't faded. If anything, they've become sharper. Who controls the empire? Is there a will? And what does this mean for Sona Comstar? In the absence of clarity, the dispute may shift from whispers and statements to courtrooms. With money, control and family legacy at stake, this is one inheritance battle that won't disappear quietly.
