The 'Right Now (Na Na Na)' singer, who collaborated with Jackson last year, said recent reports of a comeback tour are false.
"If you want quality concerts and quality performances [the media] have to lay off people," he told WENN. "Michael Jackson is the best performer ever and he can't even focus - you will never see another tour from him.
"[The media intrusion] plays a big role in that. It affects the people they're writing about. It's a lot to do with Michael Jackson not coming out and being open.
"I think all he needs is a record, one hit record then he might get his confidence back."
Akon recorded a remix of Jackson's 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'' for the 25th Anniversary reissue of Thriller.
