Written By: Victoria H. (Urban Editor)The reports that Kanye West is set to take over Michael Jackson's self-imposed title "The King Of Pop" are false.
Michael's fans were upset to hear that Kanye feels that he is the new "King Of Pop" after he said in an interview "You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change - it's so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I'm willing to take that on. First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it is Kanye's time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there's nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop."
Kanye's reps said that the rapper never made these comments and that is it internet hoax. West blogged that this rumor upsets him as he would not make such a statement following Michael's death.
