Chris Brown has addressed comparisons between him and music legend Michael Jackson in a recent appearance on Big Boy’s Neighbourhood podcast.
Ending the Debate
Brown was asked how he deals with that topic and he said,
“I stay the hell up out of it. I’ma keep it a hundred. I kinda back off it.”
“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 added. “I don’t know if they look at it as a Jordan-Kobe thing, but I couldn’t even look at it. He’s light years ahead. There is no competing with him.”
Chris concluded by saying “hell no, I ain’t better than him” and he admitted that he has “shrines of this man hanging up in my house.”
The CB-MJ debate was recently reignited following a viral tweet from Ryan Clark.
“Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson… there I said it! Have a great week,” tweeted the former NFL star before social media weighed in on the controversial statement.
New Projects
Chris Brown is set to release his album Breezy on Friday, June 24, with features from H.E.R., Jack Harlow, Fivio Foreign, and more.
Yesterday, June 21, he released the music video for his latest single “WE (Warm Embrace),” in which pop star Normani plays his love interest.
Brown is also joining Lil Baby on the One of Them Ones Tour this summer. He recently set a multi-year residency in Las Vegas at Drai’s nightclub. The 33-year-old artist will be the first to perform on a self-designed and transparent two-level stage to present a more immersive experience for the audience.
