Nick Cannon is Team Breezy. He makes it pretty clear on Instagram earlier today through a clever equation that explains Chris Brown is a cross betweenMJand ‘Pac: “Michael Jackson + 2Pac = Chris Brown.”

Obviously, this comparison has gotten mixed reactions because Michael is an icon and 2Pac is a legend. However, Nick Cannon backs it up, stating that these two artists were constantly a target in the public eye, but overcame the odds.

Cannon’s support could be referring to Brown’s recent time in jail and run-ins with the law prior. He also has had issues with longtime girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who broke up with him after finding out about his daughter Royalty. As we’ve seen with artists like R. Kelly and Justin Bieber in the past, sometimes their talent is all it takes to win over the people again.
