Jackson Rejected Madonna Song

MICHAEL JACKSON approached good friend MADONNA to write a song for him - but rejected a track the Material Girl penned because it was too “provocative”.

The King Of Pop became friends with the singer in the early 1990s, and the pair often accompanied each other to events.

Jackson was keen to work professionally with his pal, but turned down a track she offered him because of its raunchy lyrics.

Madonna admits she was shocked by the rejection - because the Thriller hitmaker knew provocative songs were her signature sound.

She says, “We spent time together and became friends. It just never happened. I wrote words and presented them to him, but he didn’t want to go there.

“He didn’t want to be provocative. I said, ‘Well, why come to me?’ It’s like asking Quentin Tarantino to not put any violence in his films. I felt he was too shy.”
