In this clip, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins talked about Michael Jackson wanting to buy his publishing for the album they worked on together. He recounted how Michael built a reputation for gobbling up publishing after his highly publicized purchase of The Beatles catalog. Darkchild said that he was urged to jump into the publishing business by Michael when the two built a rapport because he felt that was a route for creators to build out lucrative business opportunities.
