Spaces conversation which reignited the debate.
Looks like Twitter users aren’t very pleased with Jay-Z comparing wife-vocalist Beyonce to legendary pop star Michael Jackson.
During an appearance in a Twitter Space hosted by Alicia Keys which she launched to promote her album ‘KEYS’, Jay-Z made the controversial comparison.
He said, “Bey’s going to be mad at [me] for saying this but Michael Jackson never had a Coachella,” and included that she is an “an evolution” of the ‘Thriller’ icon.
He said, “Because she watched him at 9” and included, “the kids are the same. Find me a concert that’s as culturally relevant and thrilling as Coachella.
Beyoncé is gonna be one of the best vocalists we ever heard because she is such a student.”
This is not the 1st time that Beyonce has compared to Michael Jackson. In 2015, for example, Charlamagne Tha God said: “I think she’s the immense entertainer that our generation has seen. I mean, the earlier generation had Michael Jackson.
But for our generation I think it’s Beyonce.”
