Earlier this year, Rolling Stone Magazine named Chris Brown the “Best New Michael Jackson“, so it made sense that Brown told them a story about the King of Pop when he stopped by for lunch last week:

“He’s one of the most difficult guys to get to do anything. I’ve done the World Music Awards [with him], and he’s called me for my birthday - he did it the superstar way and had his security [call] for him and say ‘Yeah, I got Michael on the phone.’

“[Jackson] was telling me ‘Happy Birthday’ and I was like ‘Thank you, we need to do a record.’ He’s like, ‘Oh, definitely. Will.i.am was telling me about it, so we need to do it.’ It didn’t actually happen how we wanted it, but hopefully in the future it’ll work out.”
