You remember “Boyz II Men”, a famous 90s boyband that won multiple awards including few Grammys?
They are coming back on a special Las Vegas Residency in August with 4 dates at the Cosmopolitan and to promote their come back, they have been doing few interviews and one of them was with People Magazine.
The bandmate Wanya Morris recently revealed the ‘best advice’ they received from the late pop star Michael Jackson:
Wanya Morris said, “‘Know your worth’ was the best advice that we’ve ever gotten, and it was from Michael Jackson.”
The meetup occurred when the group collaborated with Jackson to sing the background vocals on his song HIStory, which was part of his HIStory: Past, Present, and Future, Book I.
While sitting in a backroom Jackson had a conversation with the Boyz II bandmates including Wanya, Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary.
“(We) literally talked for hours,” Wanya recalled.
“After we did our part, we went to this back room where Mike was set up and he had a board — like a visual vision board,” he continued.
Detailing Michael’s advice, Wanya further said, “He was like, ‘Listen, this industry is crazy and they’ll use you. They’ll run you up and down, up and down the road.’”
He continued on to say, “‘And you won’t even be able to understand what’s happening until you sit back later and are able to look at it and see the benefits of the fruits of your labor.’”
“‘And that’s when you want to realize that you’ve done the right thing. But the only way to do that is to know your worth and to never take less than what you feel your worth is.’ And that was it,”
