Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Chris Brown had a whole Michael Jackson tribute at the AMA’s but was canceled for “unknown reasons”…
Akon believes Chris Brown has all the talent to cement a legacy as big as Michael Jackson’s … that is, if he surrounds himself with someone other than Bloods.
The artist/producer/mogul was a guest on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, and while discussing the never-ending CB vs. MJ debate … he made the bold proclamation about Chris.
Akon says if CB had MJ’s caliber of management and handlers, the “Go Crazy” singer would’ve soared to iconic heights, but he didn’t get that kinda guidance. Instead, Akon says Chris had gangbangers in his inner circle.
For what it’s worth, Shannon does not share Akon’s optimism about Chris assuming MJ’s throne simply by detaching himself from the hood.
Michael debate aside, CB’s doing just fine — he had a huge tour with Lil Baby this year, and just got a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album for his “Breezy (Deluxe).”
Ironically, it’s the same project T-Pain called CB a “princess” over when the first-week numbers didn’t amount to a No. 1 album.
The singer believes that the R&B superstar could have had a career like the King of Pop if he had the right people in his corner.
During an interview with Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Akon shared his thoughts on Chris’ career trajectory.
“In this day and age, the only person in my opinion that could have achieved just as great as a legacy as Mike to me would have been Chris Brown,” he said. “I just believe that Chris Brown wasn’t surrounded by the circle of creative people that Mike was surrounded by.”
He went on to praise Chris’ talent. “‘Cause he got the talent, he just needed the direction,” he said. “Imagine if Chris had Mike’s team, just imagine that. It would be something different.”
Akon claims that Chris needs a better team of management and handlers surrounding him. “Chris, he got Bloods around him, he got little gangbangers around him,” he said. “He don’t have the guidance. He smart, but he’s smart according to what this generation of smart attracts.”
He says his “Came to Do” collaborator could be “the greatest entertainer ever” if he removed certain people from his circle. “Chris has the opportunity,” he stated.
Breezy has often been compared to his idol. Speaking with Big Boy on Real 92.3 earlier this year, he addressed the MJ comparisons. “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,” said Brown. “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.”
Despite Akon’s sentiments, Chris’ career is thriving. This week, he earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album for Breezy (Deluxe). He also released new music in the form of two Christmas singles, “It’s Giving Christmas” and “No Time Like Christmas.”
According to her lawyer, Brown should pay millions for his client’s emotional distress and medical bills.
Brown is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming Doe mistreated Hades, which caused her injuries.
As explained by Brown’s lawyer, the housekeeper’s injuries were caused by her own misconduct by “voluntarily teased, abused, and mistreated the dog and thereby provoked the attack.”
Brown’s lawyer said, “Doe invited the injuries now complained of and assumed the risk of them with full knowledge of the magnitude of that risk, in that she knew her foregoing conduct might cause the dog to attack her, and seriously injure her, both of which events are alleged to have occurred.”
