There aren't too many living legends these days, but if you were to ask Nick Cannon, Chris Brown should definitely be recognized as one.

The entertainer praised the international R&B star yesterday on his Instagram, comparing the young singer to legendary acts Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur. "Damn right I said it! The level of talent, passion, and artistic ability that this young man possesses makes @ChrisBrownOfficial a true legend amongst legends," he captioned underneath a photo of "The Legendary Equation." "Think about how much everyone attacked MJ and 2Pac while they were alive... I don't think I have ever witnessed someone more gifted, who has overcome so much and still growing and learning daily."

With noticeable similarities between the three, was Nick spot on with his comparison? Take a look at his full statement and let us know if Chris Brown can be considered a legend below.
