Stephanie Mills Looks Back to When Michael Jackson Was Her Date

Stephanie Mills once dated the late "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, and recalled those glorious days when she shared a video of one of the appearances they made together.

During his lifetime, Michael Jackson was linked to many women and dated quite a number of them. One of the women was Stephanie Mills.

The Grammy-winning singer recalled the memories of her relationship with MJ in a post she made on her Instagram page that showed the-then cute couple step out together in front of paparazzi at an event.

They shared some lovey-dovey moments while allowing the paparazzi to take their pictures, before walking off the stage amid appreciation from the cameramen.

In the caption to her post, Mills reminisced on what it was like being a girlfriend to MJ and described him with qualities most women would want their beaus to have. She wrote:

"#WBW When your date is #MichaelJackson and he is so loving, caring and protective. #GreatTimes."

Stephanie Mills was born on March 22, 1957. Her rise to fame came after she starred as "Dorothy" in the original Broadway run of the musical, "The Wiz," which ran from 1975 to 1977.

She later released so many chart-topping songs and won the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B vocal performance for the song, "Never Knew Love Like This Before," in 1981.

Mills came for the singer after he said he wasn't a fan of MJ.

Nicole had leaned over Beyoncé during an NBA game to ask the singer's husband, Jay-Z a question, and though people didn't dwell on the issue, Mills wasn't having it and came for Nicole in a post on Instagram, writing:

"...Why are you leaning across the Queen B allegedly asking about a [expletive] lime."

Mills suggested that Nicole could have asked Beyoncé what her husband would want in his vodka, and warned her not to ever disrespect the singer by leaning over her.

The singer also showed her aggressive side when she came for Sam Smith. Mills came for the singer after he said he wasn't a fan of MJ, prompting her to lash out at him in a now-deleted Instagram post, where she noted that Smith hoped to sell as many records as the pop legend.
