There will never be anyone else who death will have as big of an impact as MJs death.

The 4 that I think would have the next biggest impact in no particular order are:

Beyonce <----- I think the internet would crash for a few seconds/minutes and Twitter and IG would both be down.
Rihanna <----- I think the internet would crash for a few seconds/minutes and Twitter and IG would both be down.
Bad Bunny <----- don't realize how popular he is around the world, if he were to pass especially now it would be close to MJ level mourning.
Snoop Dogg <---- This one will have a bigger impact than I think most would realize.

Kobe death had a very big impact but it was more tragic than anything and was made even worse by the fact that his daughter also lost her life aswell along with the other families; but it as a whole was not nearly as big as MJ death.

Prince turned the World Purple Breh.
Monuments all over the world

[Artificial Intelligence]

I was literally bumping his music a week before he died like crazy. It hit me harder than usual

 

[DaHNIC82]

Truly a dark day in music

 

[Reptile]

Summer School in 2009 (going into the 9th grade). I was at home listening to the radio and heard that shyt smh.

 

[Buddy]

I think I was at work but I don’t exactly remember. I sold shoes back in that time.

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I was at work, I worked in a gym and some dudes came in & told me: I thought they were lying

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Kobe's death was bigger even though MJ was the bigger star.

With Kobe it was hard because it was so many conflicting stories; we didn’t know what was on helicopter, we didn’t know if it was all his girls.., other lakers players… it was just some of the most intense moments until the final confirmation

 

[JayStarwind]

I was in high school and honestly just knew MJ's hits but hearing about his death made me stop what I was doing. I remember watching CNN and seeing all of those people outside of his house.

".......Letoya Lucket #7 video"

Yea. People forget LeToya had a #1 album and a decent career around this time. "Torn" was #1 requested song on 106 & Park for 67 days!

 

[Rell84shots]

I was off work that day and my sister called and told me. That's the most honest reaction to a celebrity death I've ever seen.
