Chilling warning for Michael Jackson's son: "You're like your father”
His sister Paris Jackson made headlines over her controversial appearance at the 2017 Melbourne Cup, and now the rarely seen youngest Jackson child, Blanket, is in the spotlight due to a bizarre social media video.
The Jackson family patriarch Joseph Jackson, who had a strained relationship with Michael, shared a photo of his 15-year-old grandson Blanket, who now goes by the name Bigi, to “stay clean and healthy”.
In a video posted to Twitter, he also referred to the pop king’s use of masks to disguise his kids when they were out in public.
“Hello, Blanket! This is Joe Jackson,” the 89-year-old patriarch said.
“Your health is... I don’t know what. You’re like your father [Michael Jackson]. Now I understand why your father had you wear masks all the time ‘cause news people was bothering him so much and so, he tried to disguise you as much as possible... But I want you to stay healthy and stay off those bikes too, you know!”
“And see a lot of movies if you can, good movies, of course. And be like me — be tough, be tough in a good way. You’ll live a long time.”
To my grandson Blanket. A personal video message from me. Love you. #blanketjackson #MichaelJackson pic.twitter.com/aNtptnlAn1
