Paris Jackson came to the defense of Kanye West this week, after an irate fan was eupset over Kanye beating out Michael Jackson on the list of artists with the most Top 40 records.
In response to the fan declaring “screw kanye west” in the caption to one of her Instagram photos, Jackson revealed that her father was a fan of Kanye’s and played the rapper’s 808s & Heartbreak album all the time.
She also added that Michael Jackson was never one for competition in music.
“@corey__young the first time i ever heard kanyes heartbreak album was from my dad, he played it for me all the time,” Paris Jackson wrote. “he liked him. he never saw music as a competition or a game, never had a motive to talk shit about other artists. it was always about the love and respect and appreciation for music. so if someone breaks a new record, be happy for them. they worked hard for it and they earned it. don’t be angry or jealous or bias. music is music and if it’s good it deserves recognition.”
Ironically, Kanye surpassing Jackson’s spot on the list comes nearly two years after the rapper declared himself “the next Michael Jackson,” according to producer No I.D.
A screen capture, obtained from The Shade Room, of the exchange between Paris Jackson and the irate Michael Jackson fan, can be found below.
I’m still confused as to how Michael Jackson had all white kids. Somebody help me out on that.
It’s called bipolar dissecticism, look it up
I couldn’t find anything on it.

Next MJ? Sorry Kanye but Drake is whiter.
Oh shit
Kanye HAS NOT SURPASSED Michael Jackson in the REAL global album sales.
In 2006, the Guinness Book certified Michael Jackson as the “Most Successful Entertainer Of All Time”, and the “First Entertainer to Have Officially Ratified Sales Of 100 Million Albums Outside The U.S”. ONLY THAT COUNTS.
To date, Jackson is the FIRST and ONLY artist to have 5 albums selling over 30 million copies worldwide: Off The Wall (35 million), Thriller (110 million), Bad (45 million), Dangerous (40 million) and History (30 million=60 million units). As a result, Jackson holds the record of an artist with the highest number of the best selling albums worldwide.
Michael Jackson had true to the heart talent. Kanye doesn’t even use his real voice. Michael Jackson is a whale, Kanye is a minnow. Michael Jackson is a lion, Kanye is a pig. The list goes on. This just proves numbers don’t mean SHIT!!!! just wait for the next couple years for all these “streaming” stats. Some sites only require 3 fuck!ng seconds of listening to count as a “stream”. Fu$k this garbage.
There’s no way Michael Jackson could have had a white, blonde, blue-eyed baby…
