FunFact: MJ was one of the few artist’s to get sued twice for use of a song. The composer 1st sued MJ in the 80’s for using it with permission….

This is when you steal an answer to a question without learning the meaning. lol Makossa means dance 💃 in Douala Cameroon he should have asked the owner for the meaning 😂lol

I thought it was strange back in the day but I would sing it not knowing what it meant. It sounds even better in 2026!!!!!!! MJ was a genius who was before his time.
