When Michael Jackson Called The Game To Squash Beef With 50 Cent
Talk about a phone call that would stop anyone in their tracks! The Game recently dropped a bombshell on Club Shay Shay, revealing a wild story from 2005. He claims none other than Michael Jackson himself reached out, aiming to cool the brewing tension between him and 50 Cent.
Imagine being on tour in Vancouver and your manager tells you the King of Pop is on the line. According to The Game, Jackson’s team kept him waiting for almost thirty minutes before the legend joined the call. Once he did, Jackson wasted no time complimenting “How We Do,” even calling the track “magical.”
The conversation quickly turned from praise to peacemaking. Jackson, known for his ability to bring people together through music, apparently loved the chemistry between Game and 50 Cent despite their very public beef at the time. He wanted to know why they were at odds.
Then came the big ask: Jackson suggested they collaborate on a track for his upcoming album, a reconciliation record if you will. But here’s where the story takes a turn – Game says he declined the offer. Yes, you read that right. He reportedly ended the call, turning down a chance to work with Michael Jackson.
This legendary phone call supposedly happened right after the release of Game’s debut, “The Documentary,” during his very public split from G-Unit. The timing makes the story even more pivotal in the hip-hop timeline.
Michael Jackson’s Magical Praise for “How We Do”
Before any talk of peace treaties, Jackson was reportedly all about the music. Game recalled MJ repeatedly calling “How We Do” “magical,” breaking down what he appreciated about the collaboration.
Jackson apparently delved into the track’s production and delivery, highlighting specific musical elements that truly resonated with him. Game described Jackson as genuinely enthusiastic, clearly feeling the record’s energy and acknowledging its success at the time.
It’s fascinating to think about what a joint track between The Game, 50 Cent, and Michael Jackson could have sounded like. While the potential collaboration never materialized, the story itself is a testament to MJ’s influence and his desire for harmony, even in the toughest corners of the music industry.
