Paris explained to her followers that the Billie Jean singer was never a big fan of birthdays to begin with.
"So, today is my dad's birthday," Paris said in her video address."And back when he was alive, he used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday, wishing him a happy birthday, celebrating it, anything like that."
Paris revealed that her father went to great lengths to keep his birthday on the down low and didn't even want his children to "know when his birthday was" so that they wouldn't "throw a party or anything like that."
