Over the weekend, Michael Jackson’s son Blanket, who now goes by the name Bigi, was spotted at a Target store in Los Angeles. The 22-year-old was seen wearing a black “Star Wars” graphic T-shirt along with black athletic shorts with a red stripe on the side. During his visit to the store, Bigi purchased items such as a Minecraft game, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, and Kleenex tissues.
Bigi, reportedly a gamer, caught the attention of onlookers as he drove a bright purple Tesla. It appears that he is a fan of the “Star Wars” franchise, as this is not the first time he has been seen sporting themed attire. In March, he was seen wearing a Darth Vader shirt paired with black athletic shorts and matching sneakers.
Recently, singer Janelle Monae caused a stir on social media by recreating a controversial incident involving Michael Jackson and his son. In 2002, Michael famously dangled his then-10-month-old son over a balcony. Monae, dressed as the late star, replicated this moment by dangling a robotic dog over a hotel balcony. The post was met with criticism, with many fans deeming it disrespectful to mock Michael, who passed away in 2009.
Despite occasional public appearances, Bigi leads a mostly private life. In February, he made headlines for writing and directing a short film titled “Rochelles,” which earned him the award for Best Drama at the Santa Monica Film Festival. Michael Jackson was also a father to Prince Jackson, 27, and Paris Jackson, 26, whom he shared with ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Bigi, whose full name is Prince Michael Jackson II, was born via surrogate in 2002.
Michael Jackson’s son Bigi, now known as Bigi, continues to navigate life in the public eye while maintaining a sense of privacy. His recent outing at Target and his creative achievements highlight his individuality and interests, separate from his famous father’s legacy. As he carves his own path, it is clear that Bigi is a unique individual with his own passions and talents.
