Michael Jackson's nephew Taj Jackson says Beyoncé can't be the King of Pop because his late uncle already has that name.
Her amazing headlining set at last year's Coachella sparked debate on social media as to whether or not she achieved the uncommonly cultural stature comparable to the legendary King of Pop himself. In my honest opinion, I believe Bey is a pop icon in the same vein as her pop peer Britney Spears. Neither of them are on that path of legendary status just yet. I know some people would disagree with me though. What I will say is that Bey's album '4' has successfully made it into my Top 5 as greatest album of the decade!

Let’s create new titles for our black living legends like Beyoncé. Remember there is only one Godfather of Soul. One Queen of Soul. One High Priest of Soul. And only one King of Pop. 👍🏽— Taj Jackson (@tajjackson3) December 20, 2019
