“You’ve said some wild stuff recently,” Riddle said to Tank. He responded, “Yes, I am a wild sayer,” before the topic was revealed in a clip shared from the conversation.

“I said it with my chest,” exclaimed Tank when confronted with his controversial opinion. “The only piece that I will probably retract [is] that I said that Chris was a better songwriter. I want to take that part… I want to scale that part back. I think in terms of songwriting, they’re equally as great,” he added, noting both Chris Brown and Michael Jackson’s individual writing credits of their hit records.

“He didn’t write ‘Thriller,’” Tank added, noting Rod Temperton’s talent. “Michael had the best of the best at all times, but that started because he was such a prodigy of a human being. He was already something special by the age of nine… The resources that were available to him were just unlimited.”
