AceShowbiz - Joe Jackson said in recent interview with NewsOne's Chief Content Officer, Smokey Fontaine, that he believes late Michael Jackson had another son in addition to children; Prince Michael Jackson Jr., Prince Michael Jackson II, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. The revelation came hot on the heels of circulating rumors that 25-year-old guy identified as Omer Bhatti is the King of Pop's secret child.
Quizzed by Smokey whether he believes public's suspicion if Omer is Michael's son, Joe stated, "I knew that he had another son". He then continued, "Yes I did. He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson" when referring to Omar, adding that the young man is a "fantastic dancer."
When Smokey asked him if it is save to say that Omer is the future Michael Jackson, Joe answered "I don't know. I can't say that yet until I see that happens." In further interview with Smokey, which was conducted in a joint between NewsOne and TVOne, Joe also opened up about coping with Michael's death and the possibility of the singer to stay alive today if he had been there for him.
Rumors that Omer Bhatti is Michael Jackson's secret child first emerged after he was photographed sitting with the Jackson family at the singer's public memorial in Los Angeles earlier this month. Omer has reportedly denied that Michael is his father though.
Secret child aside, cause of Michael's sudden death has not yet been determined. Bringing update on the matter is Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County coroner's office who confirmed on Wednesday, July 29 that release of the singer's autopsy results will be delayed until next week.
