Michael Jackson Fans Furious After Lionel Richie Drops “Unbelievable” Story

Lionel Richie, known for his hit "Stuck on You," has stirred conversation following revelations in his recent memoir titled “Truly.” The singer brings to light a humorous anecdote involving his renowned friend, Michael Jackson, who was allegedly given an unflattering nickname by Quincy Jones. In his book, Richie describes how Jackson often donned the same pants repeatedly during tours, highlighting his detachment from personal grooming. With his extraordinary fame, Jackson found shopping nearly impossible, as he would be overwhelmed by fans. Richie recounts an instance when Jackson visited him, sporting jeans and a T-shirt that were less than fresh. He humorously shares that, on one occasion, he had to encourage Jackson to shower. Social media reactions have been notable, with some fans criticizing Richie for discussing Jackson's hygiene after his passing, deeming it classless and questioning the veracity of his claims.
