G-Unit's DJ Whoo Kid recently spent some time in the Persian Gulf nation Bahrain. He originally connected with Bahrain's royal family after he was recommended to DJ their parties by mutual contacts, including the Prince of Monaco and Seif Khadafy, son of Libyan dictator Moammar ("They're huge G-Unit fans," the DJ said). In Bahrain, he also met Michael Jackson. Whoo Kid recalls the beginning of his day with Bahrain's royal family and their guests as follows:
"I (saw) Michael Jackson sitting by the pool sippin' lemonade. They didn't tell me he was going to be there — I didn't even expect Michael to be in the country. So I'm like 'F---ing Michael Jackson is here, sippin' lemonade!'
I said 'What's up?' to him and acted like I wasn't groupie-sized. I gave him respect for all the sh-- he did, but in my head I was going crazy. He said, 'I'm just chillin' ' — he actually said 'chillin'!' F---ed my head up, so I walked away from him. Everybody gave him his respectful space."
During his trip, Whoo Kid was also invited to dinner with the sheik and his guests. Apparently people were giving Michael Jackson too much space as there was an empty seat next to him, which other guests were evidently too intimidated to fill. Finally Michael, who'd laughed at some of Whoo Kid's jokes earlier in the day, called the DJ over to sit with him:
"Mike was like, 'Whoo Kid, come sit over here'. I was like poinng! He was supposed to be there for like 45 minutes; he stayed for five hours. We was talking about Eminem. He was like, 'Is Eminem really retired?' I forgot that Eminem totally cremated him in one video ('Lose It'), but (Michael) didn't even bring it up. Then he started talking about 50."
Whoo Kid said that Jackson expressed some interest not only in working with 50 Cent but also Kanye West on a new album. So Whoo Kid arranged a phone conversation between 50Cent and Michael awhile later. When his schedule permits, Whoo Kid plans to go back to Bahrain and hopefully record with Michael Jackson for one of his mixtapes — a 50/ Michael Jackson collaboration is tops on his wish list. He gave Michael a tape of proposed music so that he could listen before making a final decision:
"I gave Michael some music. I'm trying to get him to do a song with 50. It will be like the Jackson Two or something."
During the dinner the two also talked about food and fashion
"They had a whole lamb they brought to the table and Mike was eating some weird vegetables. I told Mike, 'You better get up on some of this lamb.' I said, 'Let me get some of this lamb ass.' The Sheikh was dying (laughing) because I kept saying 'lamb ass.'
You can't talk to Mike all fluffy like everyone does. I got him to curse — he said 'sh--.' I told him he needs to cut his a hair, get some million-dollar earrings, get a million-dollar watch and take all them spaceship clothes off. He said, 'I have to change my whole outlook.' He said he was trying to work out."
