Blancket ‘Bigi’ Jackson entered the media arena at the age of nine months. Michael Jackson’s youngest son was a world trend in 2002, when his father, in his eagerness to spread the news, took him out of a hotel window in Berlin to show him to the media.
Prince Michael Jackson II, the young man’s first name, was not seen again until seven years later, at the funeral of “King of Pop”, in a public funeral that could be followed by more than 2.5 billion people on television.
Suffering the death of his father at such a young age, he acquired some traumas that made him a shy boy who wants to be away from the spotlight and the cameras despite his great love of movies. This was confirmed by his uncle, ‘Tito’ Jackson, in an interview with some US media.
‘Bigi’, as she has called herself on some of her social networks, was born on February 21, 2002 at the Sharp Grossmont Hospital, located in La Mesa, California, as a result of a surrogate pregnancy. This is the third son of the singer, being Prince and Paris Jackson the other children of the artist.
They were born as a result of the marriage that the interpreter of ‘Thriller’ had with the dermatologist Deborah Jeanne Rowe.

Since the death of Michael Jackson, the three brothers have lived in the mansion of their grandmother, Katherine, in the region known as Calabazas, one of the most luxurious and protected urbanizations in the United States. Over time, their faces became better known, because during his childhood his father did everything possible so that they were not stalked by the paparazzi.
“My father spoke to me as an adult and told me that the reason for wearing masks was because he wanted us to have a life without him,” Prince told the Los Angeles Times in November 2016; however, his grandmother stripped them of these customs and they started linking to a more social life.
Since 2009, the year of Michael’s funeral, the brothers have remained united despite the criticism and constant siege from the media. ‘Bigi’ now lives alone in a 6-bedroom mansion that she bought in 2020, which is located next to her grandmother’s property.
From there, he promotes his film company called ‘King’s Son’ in honor of his father, because from a very young age he realized that the artistic vein had not been found in singing or dancing, but in directing movies, a role in which Michael Jackson was seen on several occasions, but as an actor.
On the other hand, he is also committed to the fight against climate change, a passion that was instilled since he was a child, since according to some specialized portals, this ideology was constantly instilled by his father. What’s more, he is now at the head of the Heal the World foundation, created by the singer in 1992, to confront social injustice, hunger, drugs and alcohol.
