Suzi Pratt/Getty ImagesIf you thought Quincy Jones‘ revelation in GQ magazine about his 22 girlfriends and his beef with Tupac Shakur was eye-opening, just wait until you hear what else he has to say in his new interview with Vulture.
The legendary producer shares a host of bombshell statements with the entertainment website, spilling details about who killed President John F. Kennedy, claiming that he “used to date Ivanka Trump” twelve years ago and alleging that former longtime collaborator Michael Jackson “stole a lot of stuff.”
Quincy explains, “He stole a lot of songs. [Donna Summer‘s] ‘State of Independence’ and ‘Billie Jean.’ The notes don’t lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come.”
He adds that the King of Pop was “greedy” and says he “had a problem with his look because his father told him he was ugly and abused him.”
“I used to kill him about the plastic surgery, man. He’d always justify it and say it was because of some disease he had. Bulls**t,” Quincy claims.
The 27-time Grammy winner also claims that late actor Marlon Brando slept with novelist and social critic James Baldwin, comedian-actor Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye, adding, “[Marlon] Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He’d f*** anything. Anything! He’d f*** a mailbox.”
Quincy also doesn’t miss a beat with it comes to his thoughts on modern pop music — which he disses — saying that it’s “just loops, beats, rhymes and hooks.”
However, he praises Bruno Mars, Chance the Rapper, Kendrick Lamar, “Shape of You” singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, “Stay With Me” artist Sam Smith and DJ-producer Mark Ronson.
“I like where Kendrick’s mind is,” he says. “He’s grounded. Chance too.”
