MICHAEL JACKSON NEVER CHANGED HIS COLOR OR WAS INTO LITTLE KIDS - AKON
🚨🚨🇺🇸🇬🇭🇺🇸 I wanna make it clear that Michael Jackson was never into lîttle kids and he never changed his color, he just had Vitiligo. All the negatîve stûff y'all saw about Michael Jackson was made up." - Akon
"Michael Jackson was a very good friend of mine and we used to have regular casual conversations just like friends will do. Michael Jackson was human just like us too, he liked everything we liked. He wasn't into thick womęn, he liked womęn who were super models. Michael Jackson was never into little kids. They monitored him all the time so they could get something to use agaînst him and when they discovered that he was clean and they had nothing on him, they brought up that story because they used to see him with kids. And I also wanna make it clear that Michael Jackson never changed his color too, like I mean he had Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition where the pigment is lost from areas of the skin, causing whitish patches and sometimes leads to complete lõss of milanin, often with no clear cause. It can happen to me, it can happen to you. So they figured that Africans didn't know much about Vitiligo at the time and then they brought up the story that he hatęd who he was just so blacks could hâte him.
I am saying this because Michael Jackson's legacy has to be protectęd. The times that he used to speak like kids was genuine because alot of kids looked up to him and he wanted them to grow to be the best they could be. Each and every one of us has to take it as a responsibility to protęct Michael Jackson's legacy because we're never gonna get another Michael Jackson again." 🇬🇭🐐
