Harry Styles has been getting super successful to the point where Rolling Stone has named him the 'New King of Pop', and not many people are happy with the new title including the Original King of Pop, Michael Jackson's nephew Taj.
On the 22nd of August, American monthly magazine Rolling Stone released the October/November cover issue of it U.K edition, and on the cover was Harry Styles.

On the cover, Harry wore pink boxers, white fur coat, and can be seen holding a birthday cake. the title read: 'How the new King of Pop set the music world flame.'
And for as long as Michael Jackson lived, his title is known to be 'The King of Pop', and responding to Rolling Stones' latest issue, Michael Jackson's nephew Taj, stepped up to the magazine and expressed his views on the matter.

"There is no new King of Pop," he wrote. "You don't own the title @RollingStone, and you didn't earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice."
He added: ''The title has been retired. No disrespect to @Harry_Styles, he’s mega talented. Give him his own unique title.''
New King of Pop Title Reactions
Most Twitter users agreed with Taj Jackson, as they also expressed their dissatisfaction with the 'new title'.
One user said: "can't be King of Pop with 2 albums.", another wrote: 'being called the ‘new king of pop’ while not even being close to what michael jackson was is sick'

They would never do this to Elvis and crown someone the new King of Rock & Roll, especially a black artist. But they do it to Michael Jackson all of the time with mediocre white artist, while pulling shit like calling him “the self-proclaimed King of Pop”. https://t.co/74PbGLEx3G
