MIA rapper explained how he paid tribute to the late king of pop. He explained to Rolling Stone magazine on the second anniversary of Michael’s death, his way of paying tribute on the day he died.
Ross explained that he found himself in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009, the day of the King of Pop’s unexpected passing, and immediately directed his driver to pass by the legendary singer’s mansion.
“I told my driver, ‘Yo, I know where his house is at, take me over there. By the time I got there, a crowd was already gathering. I rolled some of
that PR 80 — L.A.’s finest [weed] – I cracked the window and I smoked one for the king.”
Last year, the Mayback Music Boss revealed that MJ was the inspiration for his second album’s title.
“My second album, ‘Trilla,’ was named after Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ album, which I feel is the number-one album in the history of musical life form, just to see [Michael’s] story, him as a kid, his siblings, that was a story I felt that any black family growing up could relate to.”
