Back when he was a boy "rapper," Aaron Carter sold over three million copies copies of his debut album Aaron's Party (Come Get It.)

Now he's a bankrupt, one-time Dancing With The Stars loser who just went on a twitter rant about how Michael Jackson "passed the torch" to him that low key reads like an admission of where the bad man touched him.

Check out the awkward hilarity.

Remember one very important thing. Michael passed down the torch to me. I never had to ask for him to do that. pic.twitter.com/XQm9Gzon9Q — Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) November 23, 2015

MJ and that's why we both connected because we really were and still out the only ones of our kind.

So sad all of these supposed fans of MJ who never even knew him talk like this and put people down don't you guys understand what MJ was all — Aaron Carter (@aaroncarter) November 23, 2015

And just stop all your misinterpreting condensing people out there passing the torch meant with what we stand for as artist ...
