Chris Brown wants to put an end to all comparisons to Michael Jackson. In a recent interview with Big Boy, Chris says not only can he not compare to Michael but he wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for him. “My personal take on it is that I wouldn’t be breathing or 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 and Kobe [Bryant] thing, but I can’t even look at it. He’s lightyears ahead.”
Meanwhile Chris also revealed he’d recorded over 200 songs for his album Breezy and whittled it down to 23. That drops on Friday. Hear Chris Brown’s answer to the Michael Jackson comparisons below:
