50 Cent has denied rumours that he will help Michael Jackson with his live comeback shows.

The rapper was linked with the veteran popstar after reports emerged suggesting Jackson was planning a residency at London's O2 arena.

However, the hip-hop star has insisted he hasn't been contacted about it and argued that nobody could offer Jackson advice on creating great live shows.

He told MTV: "Help him with his live shows? Now who could help Michael Jackson with a live show?

"You’re talking about one of the greatest entertainers ever, man. I don’t even have to say anything about that one."
