Michael Jackson has forever been known as the "King of Pop," though the latest issue of Rolling Stone has bestowed that moniker to another artist.

Of course, Jackson's family isn't happy.


The cover of the UK edition of Rolling Stone features Harry Styles, with the caption "How the new King of Pop set the world aflame."

Jackson's nephew Taj was quick to respond to the magazine, writing on Twitter, "There is no new King of Pop. You don't own the title @RollingStone, and you didn't earn it, my uncle did. Decades of dedication and sacrifice. The title has been retired. No disrespect to @Harry_Styles, he's mega talented. Give him his own unique title."

Rolling Stone's September issue featuring Styles on the cover is currently available now.
