Toosii has proclaimed YoungBoy Never Broke Again the Michael Jackson of this generation and the internet flamed him for his wild statement.
On Friday (June 6), Toosii hopped on social media and posted a wild statement that left the internet in shambles. The former 2021 XXL Freshman compared NBA YoungBoy to Michael Jackson.
"NBA YoungBoy really the Michael Jackson of this generation[.] It's crazy," he wrote, which you can view below this post.
It's unclear why Toosii would compare the late King of Pop to YB, but, arguably, the Baton Rouge rapper is currently one of the most popular artists in the rap game.
Nevertheless, fans were quick to flame Toosii for his remark.
"The fact that this is an actual thought someone formulated and then posted, shows we're cooked," wrote one user on Instagram.
Another person typed, "Now why tf you gotta disrespect MJ like that?"
Other people debated Toosii's statement by arguing that Chris Brown was this generation's Michael Jackson, while others posited NBA YoungBoy as this generation's Tupac Shakur.
Other commenters agreed with Toosii's remark and clarified that in terms of popularity, YB is equivalent to Michael Jackson.
"Y'all know damn well he don't mean technically musically he means how well known and how large the fan bases are, yall weird and could never try to salt YB down," wrote one fan.
