U.S. President Barrack Obama has finally paid tribute to King of Pop Michael Jackson more than a week after his death.

A week after, Obama acknowledged the magnitude of the loss to the generation that grew up as followers of the icon, Contactmusic reports.
He paid tribute saying: "He will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers".
Obama also revealed that he grew up listening to Jackson.
He added: "I grew up on his music. I still have all his stuff on my iPod."
