Once upon a time The Game and 50 Cent were rivals. The tension was so thick people thought it was going to escalate to a point of no return. Diss records were produced, the Compton rapper was kicked out of G-Unit, and things just got ugly.

Many people intervened during the height of the beef, and it may come to our surprise that Michael Jackson was one of those people. “That was weird as f*ck,” Game told HipHopDX. “It’s like, this ain’t how I wanna meet Michael Jackson or talk to Michael Jackson. I kinda felt like Mike was on some lame sh*t. Like, who sent you type sh*t, but at the same time it was like, you know that voice Michael Jackson’s voice that you hear. Like, that n*gga wasn’t talking like that. It was like, lowkey deep. You could still tell it was Michael Jackson but it was more like…it was like regular.”

Game was shocked at the request but of course, he didn’t turn it down. The two artists were shortly connected on the phone. “I think that you and Fifty did great work,” Michael reportedly said. “It would be a travesty if the world never got to hear you guys again. Would you be open to having a conversation and squashing that beef and doing something for my album?”

Unfortunately, The Game wasn’t open to doing that because of his resentment towards the now-mogul. “At that time I was so in it with Fifty I actually hated Fifty,” Game recalled. “I wanted to kill him at that time. He probably had the same mutual feelings for me. That’s where Mike lost me. In my head, I was just not open to doing that. I can’t remember how we ended the conversation or whatnot. I didn’t tell Mike ‘No,’ but it never came to fruition.”

We all just have to imagine what an MJ, 50, and Game record would sound like. Check out the interview below:
