Wow, so today I'm listening to my local radio station, and they were talking about how this guy made a prank call to Michael Jackson pretending to be Akon!
And you can actually listen to the whole prank call on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/wa...IvTCIoVyAg

@ that call! I had to listen to it a couple of times before I realized that it was Michael who answered the call in the beginning and also at the end too. But I gotta really hand it to Mike for keeping his cool tho, and and the way he turned the prank around like that at the end was pretty brilliant IMO
Although I'm pretty sure he felt like doing this to that "Akon" guy!

I heard about it but hadn't listened to it. You can tell it's Michael from the beginning. The end is funny as hell
And from what I heard, AKON was the one who gave the guy Michael's number, so now maybe we won't have to suffer through a collaboration

I'd say Michael pranked that dude. Like those voices at the beginning and the ending.

the guy doesnt sound anything like akon! akon voice is the most distinctive one u can have!
He should have use voice changin software it works incredibly well u can change ur voice to a man to woman and it allows u to fine tune to get the exact effect i think they even have add in which allows u to mimic many celebrities


and that molesting at the end this is when i stopped listenin

Certainly seems that way. The Prankee pranks the Prankster! That was cool how he switched up his voices like that.

His face has been an ongoing prank for 20 years.

Ronnuz said:

My thoughts exactly

You have a person speaking about building schools and stuff for the children in Africa....and some people give more respect to the person who made jokes about "molesting kids" & "little-slaves"....




And MJ handled this thing surprisingly good...

I liked Michael before, I like him even more now.
If I had the worlds largest diamond, I'd let him borrow it.

Very endearing.

Michael sounds GREAT..I can hear his business mind at work !

NaughtyKitty said:

i'm confused. what did he do to his voice towards the end?? so you think he was onto thim from the beginning? MJ is pretty clever.

Michael is a gangsta, cant fuck wit that

Glad to see some of you orgers giving Michael respect with this shitty situation.

I'd love to get a hold of Michael's voice changing software. Anyone know what it is? The robotic voice sounds creepy as hell.

At the beginning the radio people and the guy were like "Well he's a weirdo " but this guy is making jokes about conflict diamonds and slaves?
When Michael tricks HIM, he's so confused

dancerella said:

Mike is an OG in the game. He knows just about every trick there is to know by now. He wasn't pranked. The dude calling played himself meanwhile Mike got to talk about doing good in a 3rd world country. Mike came out looking like a naive do gooder and the guy comes off looking like an ass...

He doesn't use one cos he seems to be pretty good at changing his voice. He did it before, on the clip of 'Ghosts' for example where he played a mayor.

interesting

I'm confused Is that really Michael on the phone..or one of his people playing a joke?

What a coincidence. Just as I was thinking 'what a waste of time'. ‘Akon’ basically says the same thing.

cool voice at the end. It does sound like Michael though.

shameful...what a snake

I've not heard one person say they found this guy's comment at the end funny at all. Up until right before when he talked about his "little slaves" in the diamond mine, he wasn't actually trying to "prank" MJ in any way other than fooling him into thinking he was Akon.

This dude needs to get some lessons in comedy.

Anyway, I think Akon or his manager must have been behind some of this. MJ was asking questions about where they met and what he was doing at the time. They must have got that info straight from them, as well as MJ's direct number.

MJ was on Punked the other day.

He was? More info please.

Ellie said:

i also wondered how he knew exactly what they did the day before too. if Akon really was behind this i can't imagine MJ would still work with him. he accused him of being a child molester! why would Akon do that though??

Because Akon is one of the least talented, most repulsive people in the music industry today, perhaps?

JasonStar said:

It wasn't the real MJ. It was E'casanova (the world's best MJ tribute artist). They punked Frankie J.

DarlingDiana said:

I am pretty sure Micheal knew this wasn't Akon that's why he started questioning him like that.and why would Micheal be talking to Akon like that to begin with.

edit: so this isn't Micheal ? he's good then lol

DarlingDiana said:

Give me details..details...this sounds like LOL funny.
E'casanova is so talented and such a nice dude. I chilled with him in California, a few years back, great guy to roll with.
