In the last few days the world listened to Michael Jackson's latest single with Justin Timberlake, but his next album set to release soon could have once the street rapper 50 Cent. DJ Whoo Kid sat down with HipHopdx and explains what happened with the Michael Jackson and 50 Cent collaboration coming to a halt.
How Whoo Kid Met Michael Jackson & Learned Of His Duet With 50 Cent:
DX: He was tight with the Sultan during that time, right? DJ Whoo Kid: He had a deal. The Sheik paid for his lawyer fees to get out of America after the [2003 molestation charge] trial crap. The Sheik made him a citizen of Bahrain, so they couldn’t bring him back to court again. He did his thing and then he bounced out of there too. He had beef with the Sheik, and then I don’t know what he did, but they gave him a palace and he was just chilling. But then he got pissed off, moved to London, and that’s when he did that other deal with the 100 shows and all that. That’s when my relationship with him was supposed to start, because I was supposed to hang out with him at a few of the shows and my boy had a private jet. We we’re gonna go meet him.
Everything was mapped out, and then fucking everything came out when he died. It was kind of fucked up. He had leaked that he was going to do a record for 50 [Cent], but at that time 50’s management fucked it up because they thought it was going to be like a song. I just wanted MJ to do a hook—like a hard hook for 50. Then we were going to set all that up like “The Jacksons.” I don’t know what we were going to call it. But they fucked it up. They were excited that we were going to do it, but 50’s management was like, “This song is not coming out. We’re not going to do it.”
Because at that time, 50 had his album coming out, and they didn’t want the molestation thing to be around it. And not to mention, Mike didn’t have no hits, so they thought maybe he would fuck 50 up with a wack song. But they didn’t know that it was a hook! It was supposed to be secretive, but how am I supposed to know that Michael Jackson’s people are going to put it out there?
That’s why they called me like, “Whoo Kid what are you doing?” I’m like, “I called 50, 50 said it’s cool. I’m not here to call every manager and cover every aspect. I’d rather call you when it’s done, and we come to the decision of whether it comes out or not. But you don’t dead it.” They put a press release out that said Michael Jackson and 50 Cent are not doing a song.
