Adnan revealed that Jermaine Jackson had already heard his music and personally contacted him for a collaboration.“Jermain heard my music and approached me saying, ‘We really love your music and we want to collaborate with you. Maybe you can produce some songs with us because we want the next album to be world music and not just a typical Jackson album,'” Adnan recalled.The singer admitted that he was surprised that Jermaine Jackson knew his work.
“I also interacted with Michael Jackson on phone calls”
