MJ Estate -- REVENGE Over Famous Crank Call
The Michael Jackson estate has dropped the hammer on the man who famously crank called MJ in 2007 ... claiming he has NO RIGHT to sell the recording because it contains MJ's REAL voice.
The call was made by legendary prankster Ralphige -- who has fooled the likes of Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, and Chris Brown.
During the MJ call, Ralphige pretended to be Akon ... and he teased Michael about molesting children. MJ claimed Ralphige was NOT talking to the real Michael Jackson ... but merely an impersonator.
Now, the MJ Estate is acknowledging that the King of Pop REALLY WAS was pranked -- because they've threatened to sue Ralphige for selling the recording on his website for 99 cents a pop ... without permission from MJ's camp.
The threat worked -- because Ralphige's site is down ... but the prankster sees a silver lining ... telling us, "The letter, if anything, it at least proves to the doubters that the prank call is real."
He adds, "I am afraid the estate is not aware Michael personally gave me permission to release the phone call. This is something that I am sure will be discussed in the near future."

Michael Jackson: Estate Could Sue Prank Caller
The Michael Jackson estate is furious and now they are planning to take action. The estate is threatening a telephone prankster known as Ralphige who claims to have recorded a prank call to the late singer. He is now selling that recording online.
As the story goes, Ralphige claims to have prank called Michael back in 2007 impersonating recording artist, singer Akon. During the call, 'Akon' teased The King of Pop, talking about his child molestation trial.
The estate says that Ralphige used an MJ impersonator and is selling the tape claiming it is the real Michael Jackson's voice. They are asking him to take down the recording. Ralphige counter claims that the estate's insistence that he take down the tape gives credence that the tape is legit.
Ralphige has now received a cease and desist letter from the estate. According to the prank caller, he has one little piece of info that, if real, could keep the estate off his case:
"The letter, if anything, it at least proves to the doubters that the prank call is real. I am afraid the estate is not aware Michael personally gave me permission to release the phone call. This is something that I am sure will be discussed in the near future."
It certainly looks like this mess is headed to court. Is the tape real? Maybe, maybe not, but if Ralphige can produce the goods stating that Michael Jackson gave him permission to use the tape, what legal recourse does the Jackson estate really have?
