Omer Bhatti, the young man rumored to be Michael Jackson’s secret biological child, is indeed the fourth child of the deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson's controversial father Joe Jackson said Thursday.
"Yes, I knew he had another son, yes I did," Joe Jackson told NewsOne/TVOne of the alleged love child. "He looks like a Jackson, acts like a Jackson, can dance like a Jackson. This boy is a fantastic dancer."
Bhatti, a 25-year-old aspiring rapper from Norway, gained a measure of fame when he was seated in the front row with the Jackson family at the Staples Center memorial service for the Man In The Mirror singer.
Jackson died after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest June 25 in Los Angeles. Results of his autopsy have not been released.
