Tank faced backlash for claiming Chris Brown surpasses Michael Jackson, prompting Brown to humbly refute the comparison.
Last week, Tank sparked significant controversy during his appearance on Stephen A. Smith’s talk show. In a notable moment, he asserted that Chris Brown is a superior artist compared to Michael Jackson, citing Brown’s excellence in production, songwriting, singing, dancing, and more. This provocative statement triggered widespread outrage from viewers who felt the comparison was far-fetched.
Chris Brown responded to the debate by sharing an old interview clip on his Instagram Story. In the video, Brown addresses the comparison, emphasizing that he doesn’t see himself as a rival to Jackson. He expressed his deep admiration for the late pop icon, stating, “That’s cap. I stay the hell out of it [the debate]. My personal take is that I wouldn’t even be breathing or being able to sing a song if that man didn’t exist.” Brown continued, “So, I don’t know if they look at it like a Jordan and Kobe thing but I can’t even look at it, he’s lightyears ahead. There is no competing with him, hell no. I got shrines of this man hanging up at my house. Hell nah, I’m not better than Michael Jackson.”
