His brother Randy Jackson posted a series of messages about the album on his Twitter account stating that family members were not allowed at his studio where the album was being completed. Doubts over whether the vocals were actually by Jackson have been raised, reportedly by Katherine Jackson and Jackson's two eldest children and many of his fans.
The authenticity of "Monster" was questioned as soon as it was released. Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune said the song picked up "an unfortunate theme in Jackson's latter-day work as the oppressed media victim." Controversy over authenticity Alexis Petridis from The Guardian said the song was "a lumpy attempt to recreate the atmosphere of Thriller's title track". Huw Jones from Slant Magazine said "'Monster' is weighed down by an unnecessary rap by the increasingly unnecessary 50 Cent". "Monster" received mainly negative reviews from music critics. On December 10, 2010, the song was officially released on the posthumous album Michael, and 2 original demo versions leaked online in 2015.Īlso, an alternative version that doesn't feature 50 Cent surfaced online before the album's official release. Once in the studio, the rapper worked with producer Teddy Riley on the song. After Jackson's death, he received a call to come into the studio and perform his portion of the track. 50 Cent did not record together with Jackson physically. Other tracks recorded during that time include " Breaking News" and "Keep Your Head Up" (and also: "All I Need", "All Right", "Everything's Just Fine", "Black Widow", "Burn Tonight", "Let Me Fall in Love", "Soldier Boy", "Ready to Win", "Stay" and "Water"). Jackson allegedly recorded the songs in 2007 while he was living with the Cascio family in New Jersey. "Monster" was allegedly written by Michael Jackson, Eddie Cascio, and James Porte, with the rapping segment written by Curtis Jackson.
On July 6, 2022, Jackson's estate and Sony Music removed the song from streaming services Spotify and Apple Music amid allegations that the vocals are not Jackson's. Due to the controversy, the scheduled single was canceled. It was incorrectly reported that Sony Music had conceded that the three songs "Breaking News", "Keep Your Head Up" and "Monster" featuring 50 Cent was indeed performed by an impersonator, Jason Malachi and not Michael Jackson, however, Sony's lawyer Zia Modabber stated that "no one has conceded that Michael Jackson did not sing the songs". On August 21, 2018, the California Court of Appeal heard the oral argument for the appeal. These tracks have been controversial since their release, with Jackson's fans and family members doubting their authenticity. Along with " Breaking News" and "Keep Your Head Up", the song was allegedly recorded in the Porte/Cascios' basement in 2007. The song was allegedly written by Michael Jackson, Eddie Cascio, James Porte, and its rap part was written by Curtis Jackson. " Monster" is a song credited to American recording artist Michael Jackson, featuring 50 Cent, released on Jackson's first posthumous album, Michael.
