Michael Jackson’s nephew Taj is angry. Why? Because Harry Styles is on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone. Well, not that specifically.
I don’t think he minds that. What’s upset him though is that, on the UK version of said cover, Styles is referred to as “the new king of pop”.Taj is keen for everyone to know that the title ‘King Of Pop’ died with his uncle. No one else can claim the crown for themselves, despite the traditional conventions of monarchy.“There is no new King Of Pop”, he tweeted.
“You don’t own the title, Rolling Stone, and you didn’t earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice. The title has been retired”.You got that? Just because someone is the biggest pop star in the world right now doesn’t mean they can go around calling themselves the king of pop.
Not that Harry Styles is, mind.Either way, Jackson used that as a marketing slogan for years, so it’s his. In fact, despite Taj’s claim that the title has been retired, the Jackson estate still holds two trademarks in the name, for both sound recordings and entertainment services.I don’t think there’s any argument that there has been actual trademark infringement by anyone here, but – still – when you think ‘king of pop’, you probably do think of Michael Jackson. What to do, then? Well, Taj isn’t just coming out shouting, he’s also got a solution.“No disrespect to Harry Styles”, he insists in his tweet.
“He’s mega talented. Give him his own unique title”. So there you go.
We need a new title. Don’t just stick ‘new’ on the front of an old one.Actually, the US version of the Harry Styles cover has gone with “the world’s most wanted man”. But we’re not sure portraying Styles as a sinister criminal master mind is the way forward either.
