Michael Jackson's litigation cases seem to be imitating buses, ie they are all turning up at the same time.
Cameroonian singer Manu Dibango filed a lawsuit against Jackson and R'n'B diva Rihanna at a Paris court on Tuesday, claiming that they stole a hook from one of his songs.
He is seeking 500,000 euros in damages.
Judges will decide on February 17 whether to hear the case.
