Chris Brown tells that he got a verbal commitment from both will.i.am and Jackson himself to make a guest appearance on the project. "We are talking but…like I originally talked to will.I.am, because he does some stuff for him. And then when I talked to Mike, he said 'Yeah we’ll do something,' so hopefully we will do that record," Brown said.
