As per Chris Tucker, the situation took a humorous turn when MJ started rapping the song's lyrics, leading the comedian to playfully protest, "'Michael, Michael, no! Don't sing the words. Please,' I said." Tucker went on, recounting Jackson's response, "'I love that song, Chris! I love that beat. I love it, Chris. That is a cold-blooded beat. Of course, I wouldn't go in the club with a bottle full of 'bub, Chris. I wouldn't do that! But I love that song!' 'It doesn't sound right, Mike.' 'I know but I love it!'"
In his Instagram caption, 50 Cent expressed his own amusement at Chris Tucker's humorous recollection, stating, "😆yo chris is crazy 🤦♂️who didn't like that one 🤷🏽♂️LOL #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi."

Cole as a special guest. Cole took the opportunity to hail the Queens native's groundbreaking debut album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," and boldly asserted, "Get Rich or Die Tryin' is the best album of all time I don't give a fuck what you talking about. It's Get Rich or Die Tryin' at number one, and it's Thriller at number two, and I love Michael Jackson."
