Debatable that he played "himself" in this episode: https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Leon_Kompowsky

I believe the creators said it was him on the DVD commentaries, but those aren't "official" and the show has since gone out of its way to distance itself from Jackson.

You misunderstand. Jackson voiced Leon Kompowsky. But Michael Jackson did not appear as a character in the episode. It was a neurodivergent character who thought he was Michael Jackson.

He also didn't sing the song even though he wrote it, it was an impersonator because of record label contacts

Ah, pardon me, thanks for the correction.
