To celebrate hitting 1 million followers on TikTok, Michael Jackson impersonator Looze Cannon rapped with himself.
In the livestream that’s now gone viral, the Detroit Michael Jackson impersonator flipped back and forth between his own persona and Jackson for a lengthy song that featured bars calling out the biggest rappers in the game, recognizing how good both personalities rap, and dropping some quotables like “I’ll transform some shit like Shia LaBeouf.”
All across social media, people have been reacting positively to the freestyle — including musician Ovrkast, who wrote on X, “this n***a was split personality rapping and streaming infront of 70k people lmao he got it.”
Behind the character is Glen Cannon, a musician, producer, DJ, and comedian who has used the Looze Cannon name since at least 2010. He also used to be a tour guide at the Motown Museum, and he had an earlier viral run on the livestreaming app BIGO Live as "Bigo Jackson."
Looze Cannon is already working to capitalize on his character’s success. His debut single "Big Michael Micheal," named for his own lyrics and a nickname fans handed him, went out as a $1.99 direct download through StreetNoise Merch instead of straight to streaming.
Not everyone is applauding. Rival MJ impersonator Fabio accused him of leaning on AI face and voice filters, a claim Looze Cannon shut down, saying, "I don't got no AI. This is all me."
