Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince is speaking out against delusional ass Rolling Stone, who had the nerve to label Harry Styles as the new King of Pop.

On Friday (Oct. 28), Prince, 25, sat with Good Morning Britain and, according to Metro UK, explained, “He’s got his own genre, and he’s definitely an amazing artist. But, the ‘King of Pop’ was a moniker that really my dad earned.”
He continued, “With so many other social factors that you have to take into consideration at that time, I do feel that my father is the King of Pop, will always be the King of Pop, and it’s not something that you can ever take away, because we’ve just evolved so much as a society that those same factors will never be the same. So, when you look at from where my father started to where he ended, versus where all these other people started to where they ended, it’s just night and day of a difference.”
Earlier this year, Taj Jackson—the “Remember The Time” crooner’s nephew and son of Tito Jackson—also spoke out against Styles being considered the “new King of Pop.”
“There is no new King of Pop,” he tweeted. “You don’t own the title @RollingStone, and you didn’t earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice. The title has been retired. No disrespect to @Harry_Styles, he’s mega talented. Give him his own unique title.”
The late global superstar‘s acclaimed Diamond-certified album, Thriller, turns 40 this November. The feat will be commemorated with a physical rerelease featuring new music. The making of the album will also be detailed in a forthcoming documentary, helmed by Nelson George. Additionally, an unnamed biopic, supported by Michael Jackson’s estate, is in the works. Both film projects do not have confirmed release dates.
White media may be giving Harry Styles all this attention, and trying to create controversy by giving Harry a title which, in my opinion he has yet to fully earn. But I ask you this - with only three albums under his belt, compared to Michael's legacy can anyone outside of Harry's stan base name as many hits as Michael Jackson still has?
No shade to this current generation, but King of Pop, icon, legend - those titles have been tossed about a little too loosely. Harry Styles has a long way to go in his music career before he's afforded such a title. I don't care what Rolling Stone says.
