The R&B singer has blasted the BLACK EYED PEAS star's claim that the upcoming posthumous Jacko album is "disrespectful" to the tragic icon.
Tragic ... Michael Jackson
Will.i.am insists the King of Pop would be spinning in his grave over the December 14 release of Michael, arguing the perfectionist would never allow his songs to be heard without his approval.
He said: "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are.
"To say that what (Jackson) contributed during his life wasn't enough.
"He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful.
"Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they're finished."
Will.i.am's attack has outraged Akon, who collaborated with Jacko on the first single release from the album, Hold My Hand.
He hit back: "I think that's probably Will's opinion. Me personally, I think that's keeping his legacy alive. I don't see anything disrespectful about it. He got his people taking care of it.
"We all did records that we actually worked on together on the album. These records would have come out whether he was alive of dead, so I think this actually helps to keep his legacy alive. I honestly disagree with that."
Over to you, Will...

The interview with Joe was shot door Jacksonsecretvault.com over the summer and will be used as part of a movie Katherine Jackson is producing with Howard Mann.
In the clip, an interviewer asks Joe what he thinks about Michael's past commentaren about Joe's parenting -- alluding to allegations of physical abuse. Joe says, "I had to be like that because when raising him, in those days, so many gangs out there getting into trouble, going to jail. Most of them are dead now. He didn't have to worry about that."
The interviewer also asked if Joe had any regrets, "No! They tried to make a big issue when I spanked Michael of some of the kids, ya know? Just like they didn't spank their kids when they did wrong. The media twists everything."
Indeed.

I really hope this isnt offensive in anyway. It`s just saying the reasons why MJ got the surgurys so u can tell people why and they will stop making fun of him cause i`d had enough. Thanks :)
Michael, as we all know, had many Plastic Surgurys in his life, and here are the reasons why...
-He hated his nose since he was 13.
-He broke his nose many times
-He did`nt want to look like his father
-He wanted to change him self
Thank you! And pass this on! <3
R~I~P MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS IT`S ALL FOR LOVE, L.O.V.E (WITH THE LITTLE MOTIONS! <333

Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If u smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If u just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time u must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If u just...
Smile, though your hart-, hart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If u smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If u just smile...
That's the time u must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If u just smile

Then comes the snow
But after the snow
The flowers will grow
Girl when my life got stormy
u stayed for the ride
u stayed my side
u make the sun shine
Refrain
I'm up again I never let u down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let u down

I love you
This Humpty Dumpty's lucky
He's had his fall
But after it all
He brushed himself off
Knowing how much u loved me
I made one meer try
I reached for the sky
And I made it this time
Refrain
I'm up again I never let u down
Nothing's ever gonna stop me now
Up again I never let u down
I love you
