Michael Jackson is reportedly being sued for $7 million, for allegedly breaking a contract with a Bahrain-based record company. It is claimed that he failed to deliver a new album under a deal with the 2 Seas label, which was a joint venture between him and his brother Jermaine.  Bell Pottinger Group which is a UK based public relations firm said yesterday that the breach-of-contract case had been filed at London’s Royal Courts of Justice.

Rumour has it that the suit may be related to a song Jackson was due to record with 2 Seas to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans in 2005. The case will open on Monday and it has all come only a week after the music icon gave up his title to his Neverland ranch in California.

Jackson’s career fell apart when he was arrested in 2003 on charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy at Neverland, he was cleared of the charges in June 2005.

Lawyers for Shaikh Abdulla say the money was given to Jackson as an advance on the album and joint recording project with the Shaikh, who is an amateur songwriter – Jackson has claimed the money was a gift.
