Michael Jackson's feud with Eminem spilled on to the streets of New York as the self-styled King of Pop's fans listened to their hero slam the rapper during a protest over a music video depicting a Jackson look-alike in a bed with children.

About 20 Jackson fans stood before MTV's studios in Times Square as Jackson blasted Eminem and his video.

"It's demeaning and disrespectful," Jackson told Fox News in a live telephone call heard by his fans through speakers. He told his fans: "I love them so much."

"And I also want to make it clear that it's not just about Michael Jackson but about a pattern of disrespect that he has shown to our community," Jackson said of the white rapper. "He needs to stop it, and he needs to stop it now."

Black Entertainment Television (BET) agreed to stop broadcasting the video, but MTV has balked at Jackson's request.

Jackson, 46, who is awaiting trial on child molestation charges, wants the rapper's "Just Lose It" video, which shows a Jackson look-alike on a bed surrounded by children, taken off the air.

In the irreverent song, the always controversial Eminem says: "Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap? And I don't mean rap, as in a case of child molestation."
