Jill Scott is clearing the air after a viral moment unexpectedly placed her at the center of a pop culture storm.

Full story below…

While promoting her upcoming album ‘To Whom This May Concern,’ the Neo-soul legend was asked by UK creator cleanheartedkidd to name her “King of Pop.” Her off-the-cuff answer was “Chris Brown” and quickly ignited debate online, with fans rushing to defend the late Michael Jackson’s long-held title.

Scott addressed the chatter on X, revealing that she was running on little sleep after being awake since 3 a.m. and caught off guard by the question, she wrote:

“OH! Baby that bs title is a consensus, I obviously wasn’t in the mood. If I was asked again… I’d say Prince.”

She went on to praise the icon, calling him:

“EVERYTHING – dancer, opulent musician, visionary, divine, songwriter, showman.”

The moment arrives as Scott gears up for her first album since 2015, and it’s set for release on February 13.
