Does ‘Maybe I Deserve‘ hitmaker Tank deserve the royal backlash he’s receiving for pitting King of Pop Michael Jackson and Chris Brown?  MJ fans say yes.

Two years ago the GRAMMY nominee fielded criticism for his staunch belief about Brown’s superiority over Mike.

MJ is the greatest but CB has more gifts is all we’re saying.”

Doubling down on his stance, Tank (born Durrell Babbs) set the internet aflame this week when he not only doubled down on the stance but also elaborated on why Breezy is better.

Look inside to hear his incendiary quotes.
