Joe Jackson Says That Omer Bhatti Is Michael Jackson's Son
The one and only Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson is continuing to stay in the spotlight - a month after his son Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest. The 80-year-old Fountain Hill, Arkansas native - famously known for giving birth and then managing the Jackson 5, and then overseeing aspects of his children's careers as adults - sat down with Interactive One's Chief Content Officer Smokey Fontaine this week for an intimate interview that has caused a stir in the mainstream media.
Regarding speculation that the "King of Pop's" young protege might actually be his child, Mr. Jackson spoke publicly about the rumors confirming that he did, indeed, have a secret son: 25-year-old Norwegian dancer Omer Bhatti. "Yes, I knew he had another son," Jackson told Fontaine.
Bhatti was seen in the front row of Jackson's glitzy memorial on July 7.
"He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson... this boy's a fantastic dancer," Joe Jackson said.
