In a new interview on the “We Sound Crazy” podcast, the rapper revealed she was incarcerated when news broke of Jackson’s d*ath in 2009. She was serving time for aggravated a$$ault and had not yet heard the official reports when another inmate blurted it out.

“When he d*ed, I was in prison. And I almost beat a b***h a** when they said he was d*ad,” Da Brat said. “I hadn’t heard that he had passed yet. And she had said he d*ed. I about whooped that b***h a** and got sent to the hole.”

The “Funkdafied” rapper explained how deeply Jackson’s passing affected her.

“He’s tattooed all on my whole leg,” she shared. “That hurt me closer than some family members passing away.”

Da Brat also expressed regret over never meeting the King of Pop.

“And then JD was dating Janet, so I was going to get my chance to finally meet him,” she said. “That hurt me. I couldn’t be at the funeral or nothing. I wanted to say goodbye.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “My family’s there. Usher sang. I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ And I was like, I ain’t never ever getting in trouble again, ’cause I lost so many opportunities.”
