To mark the milestone of reaching 1 million followers on TikTok, Michael Jackson impersonator Looze Cannon decided to rap against himself.
In a livestream that has since gone viral, the Detroit-based entertainer switched between his own character and Jackson, delivering an extended rap performance. The song featured shout-outs to some of the biggest names in rap, highlighted the lyrical skills of both personas, and included memorable lines like “I’ll transform some shit like Shia LaBeouf.”
Social media users have been sharing positive reactions 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 been using the name Looze Cannon since at least 2010. He previously worked as a tour guide at the Motown Museum and gained viral attention on the livestreaming platform BIGO Live under the name “Bigo Jackson.”
Looze Cannon is already making moves to build on the success of his character. His debut single, “Big Michael Micheal,” inspired by his own lyrics and a nickname given to him by fans, was released as a $1.99 direct download through StreetNoise Merch rather than being made immediately available on streaming platforms.
However, not everyone is impressed. Fellow Michael Jackson impersonator Fabio accused Cannon of using AI face and voice filters. Cannon denied the allegation, insisting, “I don’t got no AI. This is all me.”
