The R&B artist Chris Brown has been embroiled in many controversies and law-breaking situations, but his fans and contemporaries still admire his craft. He is considered the jack of all trades and master of all! The Grammy-winning artist has dabbled into singing, rapping, entrepreneurship, etc., However, recently, there has been a virtual tug-of-war about who is the G.O.A.T between Chris Rock and the legendary Michael Jackson. The ‘F.A.M.E’ artist has once and for all shut down the debate!
The beginning of this comparison was when the NFL star Ryan Clark made a tweet, “Chris Brown is more talented than Michael Jackson… there I said it! Have a great week.” Since then, the debate intensified on Twitter with people comparing the two accomplished artists in their own right. However, Chris Brown has finally opened up about the comparison, and he had probably shut the conversation down once and for all!

“I Wouldn’t Even Be Breathing”: Chris Brown Calls The Comparison “Crap”
Chris Brown aka Breezy has shut the Michael Jackson Vs. Chris Brown’s comparison during the Big Boy’s Neighborhood podcast. He ain’t tolerating the baseless comparison between him and the pop icon Michael Jackson. On the Podcast, the host asked him about the comparison and he said that “it’s crap.” He continued, “I stay the hell up out of it. I’ma keep it a hundred.”
He went on to say, “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. I don’t know if they look at it as a [Michael] Jordan & Kobe [Bryant] thing, but I couldn’t even look at it. He’s light years ahead. There is no competing with him.”
In 2010, Brown paid tribute to the “Billie Jean” artist at the BET awards. Jackson’s 1980 Grammy Awards performance inspired Brown’s act. He performed ‘The Way You Make Me Feel,’ ‘Billie Jean,’ and topped the performance with the signature “moonwalk.”
Artists Like Justin Bieber And 50 Cent Also Made The Comparison
It is not just common Twitter folks making the comparison. In 2019, Justin Bieber posted an image “The Legendary Equation” saying “Michael Jackson plus 2pac equals to CB.” He captioned, “I’m calling it now, when [Brown] passes away after a long full life, you will miss what you had in front of you the whole time. Trust me, watch, you will see. The people who have overlooked this man’s talent because of a mistake he made… You need to reevaluate!”
In the same year, 50 Cent also admitted that Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson. He shared a screenshot of Chris Brown’s post that said, “Chris Brown is the 7th best selling artist of all time.” To this, 50 Cent replied, “CB better then MJ to me now, I can’t believe mike wanted to touch the little boys booty. what the fuck man. #lecheminduroi #bransoncognac.”

See??? Chris Brown don’t want this ish, leave the boy alone and let him work without dragging the GOAT Michael Jackson into everything all the time.
MJ is beyond, it’s alright to be beneath him, the stratospheric talents he and incredible art he left us are ok to not quite reach. https://t.co/tYmi4w6opG— Lady Luna Nightingale 🌻👻🎃 (@DeeliciousBeach) June 20, 2022

Chris said he wouldnt even be here if it wasnt for MJ. And Ne-Yo said MJ did it all without social media. Nobody can top that. Respect you both for preaching truth. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/bAmG21BuZJ
