R. Kelly Ain't Cheap, Even for Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's estate has a new creditor's claim -- thanks to one R. Kelly.

Michael sang Kelly's song "Ignition" in his car as part of the TV show, "Michael Jackson's Private Home Movies" -- but never paid for it.

Universal Music Publishing Group, which owns the rights to the song, wants Jackson's estate to pay $3,000. Universal attached a contract to the creditor's claim, showing the fee in black and white.

Will estate lawyer Howard Weitzman pay the claim or pee on it?

Stay tuned...

Is this a f@ckin joke, are you kidding me. R. Kelly gave the biggest tribute to MJ and was over the top when MJ was 'riding in the car singing along to his song'. This is total BS!

Now I believe THIS is ALL a hoax.

Sue Brett Ratner too, he was singing the song as well.

Unbelievable. TMZ you suck!

that's because you're all f@cked up high school drop out TMZ internals! F@ck your stupid MJ stories, you people suck! Why even bother to post a story about any other celebrity, MJ is the only story that sparks any interest at all on this site. You should kiss the ground he walked (walks on). Without MJ stories, no one would give a flying f@ck about your stupid website.

F@ck you Harvey Levin, moron!

Everyone, go Facebook or twitter R. Kelly and find out if this is true or complete BS. Tell him what we MJ fans think of this, if it is indeed true. Which I highly doubt, MJ and R. Kelly worked together for years, he wrote "you are not alone" for MJ. Find out people if this is true!
