Music producer Swizz Beatz is hoping to reconnect with a Jamaican chef who prepared an unforgettable jerk lobster dish during a private visit to Michael Jackson’s home in Los Angeles in 2009.

Speaking on The Real Report, Swizz recalled visiting the King of Pop alongside Alicia Keys, sharing memories of Jackson’s hospitality, his excitement about returning to the stage, and a Jamaican meal that has stayed on his mind ever since.

According to Swizz, the chef served a jerk lobster dish so memorable that he is still searching for the person responsible for preparing it.

“Yo, she made this jerk lobster,” Swizz recalled, laughing as he described the meal.

“I’m still searching for it today,” he added, before making a direct appeal to the chef in hopes that she might hear his story.

“The chef that cooked for Michael, you remember when I was at the house, when we was at the house, the jerk lobster. Please locate these guys or try to hit me,” he said.

Michael Jackson’s personal chef during the final months of his life was Kai Chase, who began working for him in March 2009.

However, World Music Views confirmed with her that she is not a Jamaican. “I’m Creole, Cuban, American Indian and African American,” she told WMV. She also doesn’t recall the meeting with Swizz and Alicia.

“Maybe I look a little Jamaican,” Chase said with a laugh.

However, the producer’s enthusiasm for the Jamaican dish was one of several memorable revelations from his encounter with Jackson, which took place at a home in the hills of Los Angeles.

Swizz explained that the meeting was arranged after he learned that Jackson had a crush on Alicia Keys.

“I found out that Michael had a crush on my wife,” he revealed.

He said Janet Jackson had apparently shared the information with Keys, telling her that her brother Michael had a crush on her.

Swizz said he thought it would be special to arrange a meeting between the two music stars, who admired each other’s work.

“I thought it was cool to set up for her to meet him, just for both of them to just have that moment,” he explained.

When they arrived at Jackson’s home, Swizz said he was struck by how relaxed and welcoming the legendary entertainer was.

Jackson’s children were also present, and Swizz and Keys brought gifts for them.

The visit also gave the couple a glimpse of Jackson’s excitement about his planned return to performing. According to Swizz, Jackson enthusiastically discussed ideas for his upcoming tour and even demonstrated some dance moves for Keys while they sat in his living room.

However, the “Jamaican” chef’s jerk lobster was not the only surprise awaiting Swizz inside the home.

He recalled noticing a Thriller plaque resting on the floor, leaning against a wall rather than being prominently displayed.

“I said, Mike, you just got the Thriller plaque on the floor?” Swizz recalled.

Jackson reportedly brushed off the significance of the award before offering it to him.

“He said, do you want it?” Swizz remembered.

Despite wanting the historic piece of music memorabilia, Swizz declined the offer because he did not want to appear overly eager during his first visit.

He also believed there would be another opportunity to accept it, particularly since he and Jackson had already begun discussing plans to collaborate on music with Keys.

“We’re about to work on music. He wants to work with AK. We’re about to produce a song together,” Swizz explained.

At the time, Swizz believed the meeting marked the beginning of a closer relationship with Jackson, with further visits and musical collaborations on the horizon.

Unfortunately, those plans never materialised.

Jackson died on June 25, 2009, before Swizz could see him again.

Reflecting on his decision to leave the Thriller plaque behind, Swizz admitted that he had expected to return for it another time.

“I was like, I’m going to double back. I’m going to get at it another time. I ain’t never seen him again,” he said.
