According to reports, Blanket, and his grandmother "were recently working together to stop the executors of [Michael] Jackson's estate from going through with a huge business transaction that they were very much so against". The outlet states that the documents do not say what the transaction was, but added: "Based on recent reporting, it seems like it may be related to the deal the estate made with Sony to sell about half of Michael's music catalog for $600M."

TMZ reports that in the documents, the young son of the late pop star explains how he and his grandmother presented their arguments opposing the deal, with the court then ruling against them and closing the case. But now Katherine has decided to appeal the ruling, and Blanket doesn't agree, nor does he want his father's estate paying for her legal bills.
