The sheikh who is suing Michael Jackson says he spent nearly $350,000 on a brain guru for the star, the New York Daily News reports. Mind-mapping and motivational guru Tony Buzan spent one week with the King of Pop in an effort to unlock his creativity, thus allowing him to write the agreed-upon album, autobiography, and musical for the Bahraini prince.

The prince’s lawyer said, “My client felt a considerable amount of personal betrayal by someone he had regarded as a close friend” after Jackson failed to produce. (More Michael Jackson stories.)
