Michael Jackson’s Son, Blanket, Is All Grown Up

Michael Jackson sparked outrage when he appeared to dangle his then just nine-months-old son, Blanket, over his hotel balcony in front of photographers in 2002. 13 years later, his recent yearbook photo gives a glimpse of what he looks like now.

Now he has shunned his real name Prince Michael II and nickname Blanket, for Bigi Jackson.

Bigi was reportedly home-schooled until last year, and is now in the seventh grade in the Sherman Oaks, California school – the same school Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian attended.

A source told Radar Online: “Michael would be proud of Blanket. He is really sweet, funny and helpful. He volunteers to help the younger kids and he is really good with them.”

And compared to his siblings, Bigi is apparently “quiet”.

The source added: “He is definitely the opposite of Paris and Prince and he is more on the quiet side.”

Bigi is under the co-conservatorship of his grandmother Katherine and his cousin TJ, and has been ever since Michael’s death in 2009.

His father always claimed Bigi was born from a surrogate mother.

Michael later apologised for the balcony dangling incident.

“I offer no excuses for what happened,” he said in a statement. “I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children.”
