Jay-Z has recently compared his wife, Beyoncé, to the late King of Pop, immediately met with brutal criticisms.

The "N*ggas In Paris" hitmaker is at the forefront of intense social media backlash between fans of the "Billie Jean" hitmaker and die-hard members of Beyoncé.

The cyber chaos happened when the 52-year-old rapper dubbed his 40-year-old wife, an "evolution" of Michael Jackson.

In Twitter Spaces chat with Alicia Keys and host Rob Markman, He said, "Bey's gonna be mad at this for saying this, but Michael Jackson never had a Coachella."

Jay-Z went on to say, "She's an evolution of him because she watched him at 9. And the kids are the same."

The dad-of-three went on to praise his "Best Thing I Never Had" hitmaker for her world-stopping "Beychella" performance during the 2018 Coachella music festival.

The rapper urged, "Find me a concert that's as culturally relevant and thrilling as Coachella. Beyoncé is gonna be one of the best singers we ever heard because she is such a student."

Jay-Z immediately received a ton of backlash from his statements.

One person said, "Jay Z is comparing Beyonce to Michael Jackson when it comes to Coachella, but Michael left before various ave of digital streaming were created. He was pulling Coachella's reaction at any given concert without social media and entertainment platforms."

Not everybody agreed with the "Empire State of Mind" hitmaker, arguing that Beyoncé shouldn't even be named in the same sentence as the "Thriller" hitmaker.

One Twitter user explained that Michael didn't need anything like Coachella throughout his entire lifetime because "he had double the audience" of anything the "Diva" hitmaker had.

They added, "MJ had people literally fainting and being transported on stretchers...no offense but MJ is unmatched."

Another person said that Michael Jackson is superior to Beyoncé, saying, "I've not listened to Beyonce although I know she's a great entertained. Her voice is fine but the emotion is lacking. I know every single MJ song. And the power of his emotional interpretation is peerless. He's on top."

Beyoncé IS Better Than Michael Jackson?

However, some people slammed the late King of Pop instead, comparing that he wasn't as professional as Beyoncé.

A Twitter warrior said, "Beyoncé was pregnant and singing upside down at FWT, pregnant and throwing up when she did Glastonbury, sick when she sang her face off at Oprah's show."

"Michael Jackson sprained his ankle and did an entire performance and lip-sycnhing for his life. the bar is SO low for men."

Another person tweeted, "Beyoncé is more talented than Michael Jackson. y'all just love to demote her talent because she is a woman. If Beyoncé was a man y'all wouldn't be saying this."
