Akon believes that Chris Brown’s alleged affiliation with street gangs has kept him from reaching the same heights that Michael Jackson once did at the peak of his own career.
“In this day and age, the only person, in my opinion, that could’ve achieved just as great of a legacy as [Michael Jackson] would’ve been Chris Brown,” Akon told Sharpe.
But Chris, he got Bloods around him.

That same year, Brown was hit with a lawsuit by Suge Knight following a shooting at 1 OAK in L.A., with the rap mogul claiming the Breezy rapper’s affiliation with gangs led to the incident
However, Brown has denied his affiliation with gangs on several occasions, including during an interview with Sway Calloway on MTV
“When you’re in LA and you’re around people, you meet everybody,” Brown said at the time
Brown has voiced his admiration for Michael Jackson as recently as earlier this year and credited the King of Pop for influencing his own artistry
