Bobby Brown Says He Taught Michael Jackson How To Moonwalk

Bobby Brown Claims He Taught Michael Jackson His Signature Moonwalk Move

Bobby Brown is at it again, he recently had a live conversation with Fat Joe on Instagram where he doubled down on his claims that he taught Michael Jackson, how to do his signature moonwalk dance step.

Bobby Brown real name Robert Barisford Brown, is a singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer and actor. Brown, alongside frequent collaborator Teddy Riley, is noted as a pioneer of new jack swing; a fusion of hip hop and R&B.

“I’m letting you know that this is what happened. This is how the moonwalk was formed,” Brown began. Fat Joe found the claim bizarre that he started shouting.

Bobby Brown continued, “He perfected it, but I taught him how to do it. We can bring Ralph Tresvant, [Bel Biv DeVoe], all on, they were all there. We were in the foyer.”

The late King of Pop debuted the moonwalk in 1983 at a Jackson anniversary show, and years later in an interview with ‘Time’, Shalamar’s Jeffrey Daniel said he was the person who taught M.J. the move.

It’s noteworthy that Brown also unveiled his version in the past, He revealed during a 2017 interview with The Cypher that the moonwalk was “one of my signature moves.”
