In the first place, the media figure and television host was very enthusiastic about the whole thing when he let it be known that there was a new Michael Jackson biopic in the works. He reposted Culture Central content and called the movie “a classic” along with several fire emojis to highlight his strong belief in the project. The power of his endorsement is magnified by the fact that he is a longtime figure in the entertainment world and has maintained a connection to the musical legacy through his own career.
Cannon’s endorsement is a celebrity endorsement of course, but is much more than that—he is simply more ecstatic than others and reflects the general view that a proper tribute to MJ is really what the world needs. The King of Trespass was so popular and powerful that he was able to move the import and scope of music, dance and world popular culture and their interconnectedness in such a way that it is still felt today. His life on earth was so magnificent that it is hard to believe that bringing his story to silver screens would be anything less than a major success.
The answers to Cannon’s online post exhibited an overwhelming mixture of very strong excitement, and very profound and thoughtful commentary regarding the significance of the biopic. There was one user who wrote, “I am actually very thankful that Michael Jackson’s story gets to be presented on the big screen again. His music had a monumental impact and so did his influence over the rest of the pop world. The King of Pop is not just remembered he is reborn in a new era.” The above-mentioned user was actually echoing the sentiments that most people expressed when they talk about Jackson and his contribution to the world of music.
People who commented on the casting decision that attracted a lot of attention focused on the hyped decision. Several users pointed out the importance of having Jaafar, who is Jackson’s nephew, playing his uncle’s role. One user remarked, “Isn’t it cool that his nephew has been cast to play him?” while another added, “I know His nephew is playing him that’s amazing.” This family reference adds a layer of authenticity to the project that particularly appeals to the people’s knowledge of the Jackson family.
The economic expectations for the movie were extremely high in the commentaries. One person was very optimistic to say, “THE BIGGEST BOX OFFICE IN HISTORY,” while another one was more precise and went, “1.7 billion dollars.” The confidence was also reached in a very humorous way, whereby one commenter announced, “If this shit doesn’t make 1 billion we riot,” while another was even ready to “build the website for organizing the meetups and meetings” in case the financial expectations were not met.
However, not all comments were filled with unlimited euphoria. The skepticism of one user came through when he said, “Hollywood gone fuck this up and I can’t do MJ story in a HR and 40 minutes I rather see TV series,” thus he pointed to the difficulty of delivering Jackson’s life that deserved so much time and discussion in a standard film runtime. Another user took it less strong: “Hmmmmmm. I’ll wait to judge,” thus he adopted a more reserved attitude towards the announcement.
When a user recalled earlier representations of Michael Jackson, he prompted the question “Do anybody remember Flex playing mj?” which opened a thread of negative reactions to that particular casting choice. The responses, in turn, comprised, “Yo we don’t talk about that,” and “that still pisses me off,” along with the funny confession, “I wanted to press charges,” indicating strong sentiments about the icon’s proper representation.
While the enthusiasm was going on, some comments pointed out the people’s lasting emotional connection to Michael Jackson after a long time since his death. One user wrote, “I am still very upset that this man is dead,” and another, “Michael should still be here along with prince and Whitney Houston,” the person mistakenly referring to “Prints” and being corrected in replies. These moments showed the individual loss that many still feel concerning the music legend’s untimely death.

He recently promised that the Wild ‘N Out episode with Lil Tjay is absolute fire, and he also declared that weekends are flying by too fast.
