Footage from 2001 showing a 19-year-old Beyoncé seated on producer Marc Schaffel's lap while being introduced to Michael Jackson by phone has gone viral
The video was filmed for a scrapped reality project Schaffel produced centred on Jackson and his circle. Beyoncé was in the studio at the time recording Jackson's post-September 11 charity single, What More Can I Give, a project that brought together several major artists to raise funds for victims of the att+cks.
Schaffel is heard in the footage saying "Alright, here we go. You want to sit on? You want to make this easier? You can sit on my lap," before telling Jackson, "I have Beyoncé sitting on my lap, and I will put you on speakerphone."
Court testimony in 2006 later revealed that Jackson cut ties with Schaffel after discovering he had previously directed adult films. The charity single was never officially released due to Jackson's legal troubles.
Beyoncé appeared visibly overwhelmed after being told Jackson was "an incredible fan" of hers, responding, "Don't tell me that."
