The Elusive Bigi Jackson
Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, has always been the most private among Michael Jackson’s children. On August 29, he was seen at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where Cirque du Soleil is performing the “Michael Jackson ONE” show. Dressed in an all-black outfit, Bigi was seen taking photos with actor Myles Frost, who portrayed his father in the Broadway show “MJ the Musical.”
Prince Jackson: The Businessman
Prince Jackson, Michael’s eldest son, has taken a different route. Graduating with a degree in business administration from Loyola Marymount University in May 2019, Prince has co-founded the charity Heal Los Angeles Foundation. The organization aims to improve the lives of young people in Greater Los Angeles. Prince believes his father would be “very proud” of his efforts to spread “positivity and happiness.”
Paris Jackson: The Artist
Paris Jackson, Michael’s only daughter, has been open about her struggles with mental health. She has attempted suicide and dealt with the pressures of growing up in the spotlight. However, Paris has found solace in her music. In 2020, she released her first album “Wilted,” and her latest single is “Hit Your Knees.”
The Family Legacy
The Jackson family has always been shrouded in mystery and controversy. Michael Jackson’s children are no exception. Paris recently took to Instagram to share that her father “used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday.” Despite the challenges, each child is finding their own way to honor their father’s legacy while carving out their individual paths.
The Jackson children are slowly stepping into the public eye, each with their unique talents and challenges. While they may never escape the enormous shadow cast by their legendary father, they are certainly making efforts to build their own legacies. Whether it’s through business, activism, or art, Michael Jackson’s kids are showing that they are more than just the offspring of a global icon.
