Is he going to agree that he is more talented than the King of Pop?
In an interview with Big Boy, Brown dismissed comparisons to the King of Pop, putting an end to a years-long debate between fans, saying, “He’s lightyears ahead. There is no competing with him.”
“My personal take on it is I wouldn’t even be breathing or even be able to sing a song if that man didn’t exist,” he explained in a since-deleted clip from YouTube acquired by XXL. “I don’t know if they look at it as a Jordan-Kobe thing, but I couldn’t even look at it.”
He added: “I got shrines and sh-t of this man hanging up in my house. Hell nah, I ain’t better than him.”
“CB better then MJ to me now, I can’t believe mike wanted to touch the little boys booty.♂️what the f-ck man,” he wrote on Instagram at that time, sparking various reactions from people of the internet.
The R&B artist is currently preparing for the release of his new album, “Breezy,” which is due to launch on June 24 with collaborations from Jack Harlow, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Fivio Foreign, and others.

Putting the word talent in the same sentence as Michael Jackson and Chris Brown is such an insult to the work Michael Jackson has done for music and dance since he was 5 years old.
