American music producer Quincy Jones has filed a $10million lawsuit to the Michael Jackson estate as he feels he's owed millions from Jackson's posthumous releases.
According to TMZ, Jones is suing Michael Jackson Productions (MJJ) and Sony claiming that Jackson's This Is It film, the Cirque du Soleil stage show and the 25th anniversary of the Bad album all contains music he has produced.
Speaking of the allegations, Jackson's lawyer told TMZ: "The Estate of Michael Jackson was saddened to learn that Quincy Jones has filed a lawsuit seeking money from Michael's Estate.
"To the best of our knowledge, Mr. Jones has been appropriately compensated over approximately 35 years for his work with Michael."

The 80-year-old also claims he's owed royalties for Jackson's posthumous releases which he believes were remixed to deprive him of any profit.
His attorney, Henry Gradstein, states: "Quincy has been frustrated with these matters for a number of years, felt he was not making any progress and needed to take more formal action."
