Michael Jackson daughter Defends Kanye West for surpassing her Dad’s Chart Record

Paris Jackson defends Kanye West for surpassing Michael Jackson’s chart record: My Dad 'Never Saw Music as a Competition'

Kanye West’s latest chart accomplishment is that he recently earned his 40th Top 40 Hit on the Billboard charts.  But MJ fans are upset about it because West surpassed Michael Jackson (and Frankie Valli) for the most top 40 hits by a male artist.

The Life of Pablo rapper gained his 40th top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with his feature on ScHoolboy Q’s That Part, placing him in the 10th place for males with the most top 40 hits; Jackson has 39 top 40 songs.

Paris Jackson, daughter of the late legend, came to the defense of Kanye West after fans commented their frustration with West’s latest chart accomplishment. Her statement came right after an MJ fan commented : “I’m f---ing mad. Screw kanye west for knocking Michael off the chart for the most 40 hits or whatever. If Michael was still here God he would have passed kayne.”

In the spirit of love and music, the 18 year old Paris Jackson replied. “The first time I ever heard Kanye's [808s and] Heartbreak album was from my dad, he played it for me all the time. he liked him. He never saw music as a competition or a game, never had a motive to talk sh-- about other artist. It was always about the love and respect and appreciation for music. So if someone breaks a new record, be happy for them. They worked hard for it and they earned it. Don’t be angry or jealous or bias. Music is music and if it’s good it deserves recognition.”

Overall, Kanye West has now 78 Billboard Hot 100 entries, while MJ only had 53. The cast of Glee has the most entries on the chart with 207!
