Sexyy Red had the web split after she dropped videos from the studio teasing her own cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It.’ Some fans swore she was just trolling and vibing out, while others felt like her alternative of words wasn’t the very best technique to show the “King of Pop” love. Sexyy hasn’t cleared the air about what she plans to do with the track, but MJ’s estate clocked it quick and set the record straight on whether she actually had the green light.
