Jacko fans worldwide have been buzzing with the news that an album full of never-before-released Michael Jackson tracks is set to drop!
But fellow singer and close pal of the King of pop will.i.am has controversially spoken out AGAINST the material ever being heard by the public.
In an interview with The AP, the Black Eyed Peas star insisted the 'Thriller' legend WOULDN'T have wanted the songs to be released without his final seal of approval.
The ‘I Gotta Felling’ star said of the new project,
“I don't think that should ever come out. That's bad. He was a perfectionist and he wouldn't have wanted it that way. How you gonna release Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson ain't here to bless it?
"Now that he is not part of the process, what are they doing? Why would you put a record out like that? Because he was a friend of mine, I just think that's disrespectful. What's wrong with what he already contributed to the world?
"You don't disrespect someone when they're gone. How much can you suck from his energy? Freaking parasites!"
