Nick Cannon compares Chris Brown to Michael Jackson and Tupac.

Nick Cannon sparked quite a bit of dialogue when he took to social media and declared Chris Brown is a legendary combination of Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur.

The “America’s Got Talent” host posted a photo that said, “MJ plus 2 Pac equals CB.”

Nick added a lengthy caption where he praised Breezy for his talent and passion. He also likened Chris Brown’s headline grabbing challenges to the way Michael and Tupac were often attacked in the media.

Nick wrote:

Damn right I said it! The level of talent, passion, and artistic ability that this young man possesses makes @ChrisBrownOfficial a true legend amongst legends. A lot of times we don’t realize or acknowledge our treasures while we still have them with us. We wait until they are gone to appreciate their power. Think about how much everyone attacked MJ and 2Pac while they were alive… I don’t think I have ever witnessed someone more gifted, who has overcome so much and still growing and learning daily. My Prayers go up for this dude everyday. @ChrisBrownOfficial #Respect #Legend #Loyalty #Love #Artist #Proud #Men
