@TeamMichael777 Dont rely on wikipedia as its as unreliable as the other source you previously used as evidence, the media. 10 sec search on Google will find the answers needed.
Despite what the media spun about Pepsi & Michael Jackson in 1993, fact is, Michael Jackson cancelled the remaining dates on his Dangerous Tour due to his addiction to painkillers. Pepsi was sponsoring the tour. With no more tour, nothing to sponsor, contract was over. The media used the current accusations against Michael at the time as a spin to say that was the reason why Pepsi are Michael were no longer business partners. You've fallen & believed their trick.
Later in 2008, Michael Jackson again teamed up with Pepsi for a Superbowl Ad for Pepsi's 'SoBe Life'Water.

If Michael Jackson was fine to work with Pepsi again a year prior to his death, why is it a problem for certain fans? Simply because those on the anti-Branca campaign dont like that this was a Branca/McClain business decision. I dont agree with all his actions either but this business agreement with Pepsi is actually brilliant as the Michael Jackson Estate are using the original company who sponsored Michael Jackson during the Bad Era to not only promote Michael Jackson & Bad 25 but also Pepsi. It also too provides an avenue for the younger generation to listen to Michael's music with a modern sound via Skrillex etc, without angering the purist fans who wish to have a release solely of Michael own work.
