Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa is seeking $7 million from the embattled singer at London's Royal Courts of Justice.Lawyers for Al Khalifa say the money was intended as an advance on a joint recording project. Jackson, however, claims the cash was a gift.
David Sherborne, representing Al Khalifa, says the case would mainly hinge on the nature of Jackson's friendship with the sheikh. (source)
You just can't make this stuff up. The jokes write themselves. Who gives away 7 million dollars Michael? Huh? What in the world did YOU give up to make you think that the cash was a gift? You know what...don't answer that. It would just be TMI at this point.
