The two Jacksons have something in common states New York rapper.

During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, 50 Cent shared more than just his thoughts on celibacy. He also opened up about his experience during his 2023 Final Lap tour in Kazakhstan, where he felt like one of the biggest pop stars to ever hit the stage. “It’s unbelievable. They don’t know I’m not Michael Jackson,” he told Colbert. “It was so cool. It was unbelievable, Stephen. They chased the car like I’m Michael Jackson and everything. It was crazy.”

In addition to discussing his tour experiences, 50 Cent, known for his longstanding feud with Rick Ross, explained how his choice to embrace celibacy has impacted his life. “When you calm down, you can focus. It’s been good, I’ve been good to me,” he said. He went on to elaborate on how avoiding romantic distractions has helped him stay sharp with his career and financial moves. “That’s when things start getting complicated. Things start getting confusing because people come for different reasons,” he explained when Colbert asked about his successful ventures. “If you go on a date but have no interest in anything, you see the real person. I’d be like, ‘Goddamn girl, you fine, but you ain’t got nothing going on.’”

50 Cent also touched on his views on marriage, stating that he’s never been married and likely never will be. “I’m safe, I’m not a happy hostage. I’m free. I’ve made some mistakes, just not that one,” he quipped.

50 CENT ON MICHAEL JACKSON AND CHRIS BROWN

In 2019 on social media, 50 Cent claimed that Chris Brown is better than Michael Jackson, implying that the competition doesn’t stand a chance. The comments section quickly lit up with backlash, but 50 Cent remained steadfast. “Repeat after me: MJ was great, but it’s CB’s turn,” he wrote. While the exchange between the G-Unit leader and Jackson’s fans was certainly entertaining, it’s worth noting that Chris Brown himself recently praised the King of Pop as the greatest of all time. Whether in response to 50 Cent or simply expressing his own views, Brown made it clear where he stands.

Many of Jackson’s fans echoed Brown’s sentiment. “Until Chris Brown can stand on stage and do absolutely nothing while people faint, he ain’t on that MJ level yet lol close but not quite there yet,” one fan commented. “He’s got a lot of work ahead. As a performer, his moves are more advanced, and he’s more athletic, but that’s about it. I love C Breezy—he deserves more appreciation.”
