February 7, 2018Quincy Jones 'Used to Date Ivanka Trump' and 5 More Explosive Quotes from Wild Interview
The iconic music producer says he had a strong liking for Ivanka's "beautiful legs" in an interview with Vulture.
Quincy Jones has done more than just win 28 Grammys and co-produce Michael Jackson's biggest selling albums — he says he's also had the honor of dating First Daughter Ivanka Trump.
In a crazy new interview with Vulture, the 84-year-old music producer revealed he was first introduced to President Donald Trump's oldest daughter over a decade ago.
And although he had a strong liking for Ivanka's "beautiful legs," he never quite approved of her "crazy motherf-cker" of a father, who Jones said is "limited mentally."

"I used to date Ivanka, you know. Twelve years ago, Tommy Hilfiger, who was working with my daughter Kidada, said, 'Ivanka wants to have dinner with you,'" Jones explained. "I said, 'No problem. She's a fine motherf-cker.' She had the most beautiful legs I ever saw in my life. Wrong father, though."
The topic came up when Jones was asked to name the one problem he'd fix with the snap of his fingers, if he could.
"Racism," he said. "That's why what's happening now is good, because people are saying they are racists who didn't used to say it. Now we know. It's Trump and uneducated rednecks. Trump is just telling them what they want to hear. I used to hang out with him. He's a crazy motherf-cker. Limited mentally — a megalomaniac, narcissistic. I can't stand him."

Michael Jackson Stole From Donna Summer
"I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole a lot of stuff," he said. "He stole a lot of songs. [Donna Summer's] 'State of Independence' and 'Billie Jean.' The notes don't lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come."
"Greedy, man. Greedy," he continued. "'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' — Greg Phillinganes wrote the c section. Michael should've given him 10 percent of the song. Wouldn't do it."
Michael Jackson's Plastic Surgery Was 'Bullsh-t'
"I used to kill him about the plastic surgery, man. He'd always justify it and say it was because of some disease he had. Bullshit," Jones said. "He had a problem with his looks because his father told him he was ugly and abused him."
He Claims to Know Who Killed John F. Kennedy
When asked to reveal something he wished he didn't know, Jones said, "Who killed Kennedy."
"[Chicago mobster Sam] Giancana," he said. "The connection was there between Sinatra and the Mafia and Kennedy. Joe Kennedy — he was a bad man — he came to Frank to have him talk to Giancana about getting votes."

The Beatles Were 'The Worst Musicians in the World'
When asked about his first impression of The Beatles, Jones said, "They were the worst musicians in the world."
"They were no-playing motherf-ckers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don't even talk about it," he said. "I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn't get it. We said, 'Mate, why don't you get some lager and lime, some shepherd's pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit.' So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, 'George, can you play it back for me one more time?' So George did, and Ringo says, 'That didn't sound so bad.' And I said, 'Yeah, motherf-cker because it ain't you.' Great guy, though."
He Says Marlon Brando Had Sex with Marvin Gaye
"[Marlon] Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his ass off. He was the most charming motherf-cker you ever met. He'd f-ck anything," Jones said. "Anything! He'd f-ck a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye."
When asked if Brando "slept with them" and if he knew that for certain, Jones replied, "Come on, man. He did not give a f-ck!"
