According to Akon, Chris Brown has the ability to succeed Michael Jackson.
The performer thinks that if the R&B great had the right people on his side, he might have had a career similar to the King of Pop. Akon discussed Chris’ professional path in an interview with Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” show.
He claimed that Chris Brown was the only individual who, in this day and age, could have left behind a legacy as impressive as Mike’s. I simply think that Mike was surrounded by a more innovative group of people than Chris Brown was.
He continued by praising Chris’ skill. He explained, “Because he got the skill, he just needed the instruction.” Imagine Chris having Mike’s squad, just for a moment. It would be different in some way.

According to Akon, Chris requires better management and handler staff. He declared, “Chris, he’s got blood around him, small gangbangers around him.” He is not being guided. He is smart, but only in the sense that this age of smart attracts smart people.
He asserts that if some people were excluded from his circle, his “Came to Do” partner could become “the greatest entertainer ever.” Chris “has the chance,” he said.
Many people have compared Breezy to his hero. He addressed the MJ similarities in an earlier conversation with Big Boy on Real 92.3. “My own view on it is that if that individual didn’t exist, I wouldn’t even be breathing or even be able to perform a song,” said Brown. “I’m not sure if they saw it as a Jordan-Kobe issue, but I couldn’t even look at it. He is decades ahead of you. With him, there is no rivalry.
Chris’ career is growing despite Akon’s opinions. He was nominated for a Grammy this week for Breezy’s Best R&B Album (Deluxe). Two Christmas singles, “It’s Giving Christmas” and “No Time Like Christmas,” were also recorded by him.
