Chris Rock's Netflix special has offended a lot of people, but no one was more pissed off than Taj Jackson who called out the actor-comedian for comparing his uncle Michael Jackson to R. Kelly.
According to The Shade Room, Rock pointed out that both Michael Jackson and R. Kelly went to trial for the "same crime."
He questioned that the "Bad" singer was not held up to the same standards as Kelly was: "The thing I have a problem with is the selective outrage."
"Same crime-one of them just got better songs!" He added.
According to reports, Kelly is now a convicted felon of child pornography and sex trafficking charges; he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
This news caused uproar and disappointment among fans and other artists in the industry, as Kelly had been considered one of the most prominent R&B singers.
That is probably why Jackson was so annoyed when Michael Jackson was compared to the disgraced singer, after all, reports say that the "Thriller" singer was acquitted of child molestation charges.
"Chris Rock has used my family as punching bags for his entire career," Jackson wrote. Yet I am supposed to feel bad for him getting slapped and humiliated on the Oscars."
"After seeing a new clip of him attacking my dead uncle in the first minutes of his 'Retaliation-I'm still relevant' special, I have 3 things to say.
" "1. What did my family ever do to you to warrant these decades of harassment and your constant bullying [disguised] as jokes?
"2. Just because you were bullied early on in life doesn't give you the excuse to bully others now. 3. Thank you, Will Smith."

According to reports, Michael Jackson was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy, as well as other children, several years back
However, the jury did not find him guilty on all 10 counts and he was promptly released.
Some fans argues that the entire thing was simply a rouse to ruin Michael Jackson's name and image.
Meanwhile, a member of the jury shared what was the reason behind the singer's acquittal: "The evidence said it all."
"We had a closet full of evidence that made us come back to the same thing - that there wasn't enough."
