Stevie Wonder apparently isn’t very happy with the spoof of Michael Jackson in Eminem’s music video “Just Lose It” and has gone public with some harsh criticism of the emcee.
“Kicking someone when he’s down is not a good thing,” Wonder reportedly told Billboard magazine. “I have much respect for his work, though I don’t think he’s as good as Tupac [Shakur]. But I was disappointed that he would let himself go to such a level.”
As reported earlier, Michael Jackson has not been happy about the video which pokes fun at Jackson’s child molestation charges.
The video features Eminem impersonating Jackson as children jump up and down around him on a bed, while Eminem raps, “I done touched on everything, but little boys / Now, that’s not a stab at Michael / That’s just a metaphor / I’m just psycho.”

The video has since been under fire from many outlets who view the portrayal as distasteful. BET has pulled the video from its network.
“He has succeeded on the backs of people predominantly in that lower pay bracket, people of color,” Wonder said. “So for him to come out like that is bull.”
