Jackson ‘ignores negative press’ – BBC

Pop star Michael Jackson has said he pays no attention to the negative press written about him.

In a rare interview, the star told Ebony magazine that he knows he has the reputation of being different, but just ignores it.

“In my opinion, it’s ignorance. It’s usually not based on fact. Every neighbourhood has the guy who you don’t see, so you gossip about him,” he said.
