Some things in life are truly unforgettable. The first day of school. Childbirth. Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video. For DJ Whoo Kid, a chance meeting with late legend Michael Jackson is forever etched in his memory. In honor of the King of Pop—who tragically died of cardiac arrest yesterday (June 25)—we asked Whoo Kid to share his 2006 encounter with MJ in Bahrain. The G-Unit spinner’s recollections were so vivid that we decided we’d let you hear them straight from the source. Here, the DJ remembers meeting Michael, the legend’s phone conversation with 50 Cent and Mike’s feelings on Eminem’s retirement. This is one testimony you’ll never forget. –John Kennedy
