Posted by Cordae has a lot of friends in the music and entertainment business, but not many were close to him as the late Juice WRLD. The two would hang out, freestyle together and more before Juice passed away from a drug overdose in 2019.
During a recent studio session recorded on TikTok, Cordae reflected on his late friend with a child who asked him questions about a picture he took on stage with Juice. The little kid was exuding curiosity as Cordae spoke about the Chicago native and even compared him to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
“That’s my friend, his name was Juice WRLD,” Cordae told the toddler before pointing at the King of Pop. “And that’s Michael Jackson. They both one in the same.”

Some may think Cordae is reaching for comparing Juice to MJ, but it’s hard to ignore the love both artists received from their fans and how talented they were with their music. Juice was a buzzing star when he was alive, but that popularity went through the roof after his passing.
His first two albums, Goodbye & Good Riddance and Death Race for Love, both went multi-platinum, with the latter being his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Juice saw even more success when his next two projects, Legends Never Die and Fighting Demons, went No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
Cordae, on the other hand, recently gave a huge revelation regarding his first two studio albums, The Lost Boy and From a Birds Eye View. According to the Maryland native, his debut is far more superior than his most recent solo effort.

“Yo so I just drove on a lil 4 hour road trip and listened to both my albums front to back,” he wrote during a listening session. “And fuck I must say it’s most definitely “The Lost Boy > FABEV lmaooo. My bad y’all. Ima do better next time. I got sumn to prove.”
