Swizz Beatz Reveals Michael Jackson Had a Crush on Alicia Keys: ‘I Think Janet Was the One That Told A.K.’

Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys stopped by Michael Jackson‘s house shortly before the King of Pop’s untimely death back in 2009. The Bronx record producer recently stopped by The Real Report With Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda and revealed that Jackson apparently had a crush on his R&B superstar wife.

Swizz didn’t feel offended or disrespected or anything like that. He actually thought it was kind’ve “cool” and took initiative to set a meet-up between the two singers.

“I found out that Michael had a crush on my wife. In a cool way, but Michael’s a virgo, so I don’t know. I’m a virgo,” he said jokingly. “And so I think Janet was the one that told A.K. and she was like, ‘You know, my brother always had a crush on you.’ So I thought it was cool to set up for her to meet him. Just for both of them to just have that moment as fans of each other.”

He added: “We set up the meeting at the crib. We go to the house, Michael was so cool Michael was so cool, bro. Just seeing him in his real element. He had his beautiful kids there. I remember we brought gifts for the kids and he was just excited about going on a tour. He was just like, ‘Yo, when I do this, I’mma hit ’em with that,’ showing A.K. some of his moves.”

He also raved about a jerk lobster dish that Mike’s Jamaican personal chef made and said he offered him his framed Thriller plaques after Swizz said he noticed them sitting on the floor propped up on a wall, but he said no because he didn’t want to seem too “thirsty,” even after Mike dismissed them as “just things.”
