In a wild interview with Vulture, music producer Quincy Jones claimed that he “used to date” first daughter Ivanka Trump, who he called “a fine motherfucker” who “had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life.” Then added: “Wrong father, though.” The 84-year-old, who also said President Trump was a “crazy motherfucker” who is “limited mentally—a megalomaniac, narcissistic,” stated that 12 years ago, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger told him that Ivanka wanted “to have dinner” with him and he took up the offer. In a sitdown that covered everything from his knowledge of who killed JFK (“[Chicago mobster Sam] Giancana”) to alleged affairs Marlon Brando had with Marvin Gaye, Richard Pryor, and James Baldwin (“He’d fuck anything. Anything! He’d fuck a mailbox.”), the 28-time Grammy winner also declares that Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen apparently “sings and plays just like Jimi Hendrix” and that his most famous collaborator, Michael Jackson, “stole a lot of songs,” including “Billie Jean” and “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough.” “Greg Phillinganes wrote the C section,” he said of the noted session keyboardist on the latter. “Michael should’ve given him 10 percent of the song. Wouldn’t do it.”
