Chris Brown has finally responded to the Michael Jackson comparisons he’s received over the years. 

The rapper and dancer appeared on BigBoyTV’s YouTube channel and said that The King of Pop was ‘light-years ahead’ of him when it comes to music.

He said: “I can’t even look at it. He’s light-years away. There is no competing. Hell no. I got shrines and s*** of this man hanging up in my house. Hell nah, I ain’t better than him.”

Brown went on to say that he wouldn’t be ‘able to sing a song’ if it wasn’t for Jackson, adding: “I stay the hell up out of [that argument]. I’ma keep it 100. I kind of back off of it. My personal take on it, I wouldn’t even be breathing or even be able to sing a song if that man didn’t exist.

“So, I don’t know if they look at it as a [Michael] Jordan and Kobe [Bryant] thing but I don’t.”

After hearing the 33-year-old’s thoughts on the matter, many took to Twitter and praised him for being ‘real’.

“Chris Brown being real. Now ya’ll stop that nonsense of comparing him to MJ  even Chris knows the truth that Mike is the goat and there is no one on his level!” one tweeted.

Another added: “Chris Brown has my respect now he gives the king his props.”

“Brilliant answer,” a third simply said.

However, it’s not just Brown’s fans that have compared the two singers.

In 2019, Justin Bieber reportedly posted an image on Instagram which was titled ‘The Legendary Equation’. It went on to say ‘Michael Jackson, plus Tupac equals Chris Brown’.

The pop star captioned it: “Everyone wants to wait ’til people die to give them the credit they deserve. I’m calling it now – when CB 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.”
