A Debate Asking If Drake is a Bigger Superstar Than Michael Jackson Was

There Was Really a Debate Asking If Drake is a Bigger Superstar Than Michael Jackson Was

Debates can be healthy, controversial, or sometimes just ridiculous. There was one that was started on social media Tuesday that pitted “The King of Pop” Michael Jackson against “The King of Streaming” Drake. The question that was posed was “Is Drake in 2021 a bigger superstar than Michael Jackson was?” As you can imagine, Twitter chimed in with opinions.

Shade room asked is Drake in 2021 bigger than Michael Jackson at his peak…. MICHAEL JACKSON?!?! Thee MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON!!?! Thriller Mike? The guy w the penny loafers?? Billie Jean baby father?! The dude who took care of Annie?!? Cheemon?!? Y’all gon stop playing with me.

There will never be a star bigger than Michael Jackson. You can talk about how absurd Drake’s streaming numbers are to try to refute this but that’s exactly the reason why. The music star market is saturated now. Stars are too accessible now. The mystique is gone.

Michael Jackson is probably the most famous non religious figure in history.
No one in real life thinks Drake is bigger than Michael Jackson. https://t.co/zdbatvSkmG

The streaming era we are living in got Billboard thinking that Drake is as big as Michael Jackson when Drake doesn’t even have the pure album sales and global impact to match them. Charts peaks are not everything. https://t.co/2yvIXV8aoB

Freddie Gibbs said Michael Jackson had gangsters fainting and screaming in Scary Gary, Indiana. Don’t ever say Drake’s name with him again!

In their prime
Michael Jackson had people fainting at his sight
50 Cent had dudes praying and wishing to get shot because of “Many Men”
Drake has grown ass men going to the barber shop asking for heart symbols to be put in their hair cuts
