Blanket “Bigi” – birth name Prince Michael Jackson II – wore white shorts, a white X-Men t-shirt and black Nike sneakers as he carried his food order down the street.
His long brown hair fell to his shoulders, and he sported some facial hair.
Michael Jackson’s son is rarely seen as he keeps to himself, out of the spotlight.
However, his name has been in the news lately, as he recently sued his paternal grandmother, Katherine Jackson, 94, to stop her from using her father’s assets to fund her legal battle against his executors.

Blanket’s lawyers argued that Katherine’s request for legal services did not benefit the estate and asked that it be denied.
BLANKET PROCESS
Katherine is embroiled in a legal dispute over the $600 million deal with Sony Music for half of her late son’s publishing and recording catalog.
Blanket and his brother Prince, 27, and sister Paris, 24, supported the sale, but their grandmother appealed.
Now Blanket is fighting for Katherine to cover her legal expenses herself, rather than relying on her father’s estate to pay them.
According to billboardMichael’s executors, John Branca and John McClain, have alleged that Katherine has received more than $55 million from the estate since her son’s death.
“Contrary to the assertions made by Mrs. Jackson’s attorney, the executors did in fact liberally provide for the maintenance, care and well-being of Mrs. Jackson,” attorneys for Michael’s executors wrote, according to court documents.
Michael – famously dubbed the King of Pop – died in June 2009, leaving behind his legacy and mega-fortune.
He shared his two oldest children with his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, whom he was married to from 1996 to 2000.
Blanket was born via surrogate, although her mother’s identity is unknown.
Although Blanket was his original nickname, he legally changed it to Bigi in 2015 after being bullied at school because of his unique nickname.
Children of Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson had three children to pass on his legacy before his sudden death in June 2009. Here’s what his adult children have been up to.
- Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known primarily as Prince, is Michael’s first child with his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe. He followed in his father’s footsteps by working in the entertainment industry as an actor and producer. According to IMDB, Prince’s credits include Daybreak (1993), Hangin’ with the Homeboys (1991) and Nano: Hold On (2017). He graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
- Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson also followed the path of entertainment as a model, actress and singer. She was in the 2018 action film Gringo and the 2021 comedy The Space Between. Paris is signed to IMG Models and released her first album, Wilted, in 2020.
- Prince Michael Jackson II, also known as Blanket or Bigi, keeps his privacy out of the spotlight. He is said to enjoy martial arts and is passionate about climate change.
Blanket was the baby in the infamous photo of Michael holding a child on the balcony of the Adlon Hotel November in Berlin, Germany in November 2002.
In March, Michael’s three children attended the opening night of MJ: The Musical, a tribute to their father and his memorable tracks.
They each dressed up for the event, with Prince and Blanket wearing dark suits and Paris wearing an ankle-length brown dress.
A photo of the trio posing outside the venue marked their first red carpet photo together since 2012.
In August 2023, Michael’s children traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, to celebrate their father’s birthday.
In honor of what would have been the Man in the Mirror singer’s 65th birthday, the pair went to see Michael Jackson in concert at Mandalay Bay.
They took photos with their father’s fans, signed autographs and even received gifts.
