Prince Michael Jackson Interview on Life After Father's Death | ABC News

[@SheldineCooper]

Geez he's the most mature 20 year old guy i've ever seen....

[@Mary2020VA]

He's had to deal with a lot, but it's so good to see how he has managed the adversity to develop into such a mature/responsible young man. I'm sure his dad is very proud of who his son has become. As an aside, many people talked about how crazy Micheal was, but notice that his children seem to be very well balanced. You don't see young Prince (or his sister (who is much more quirky)) using drugs or getting drunk. I love the fact that despite their wealth, they are very humble and down to earth.

"I really don't care what you do in life as long as you're happy doing it and you're the best at what you do. If you want to be a Janitor at a high school, be the best Janitor you can be." Michael Jackson was undoubtedly a incredible father.

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

Daley Mclean he was the best father they could ever imagine.

These are just bs

[@ruthdmy0669]

Love him so much, forever my king Michael Joseph Jackson

[@clairelegrand3604]

it's beautiful how he follows his father footsteps to help children.

[@rubarbcrumble5359]

"Help Children" Are you Serious?

[@ianthompson3647]

He ADMITTED to sleeping with underage children.

[@lisa.shutupm9977]

ian thompson Ian, loser!

[@clairelegrand3604]

Some people don't realize that MJ didn't a childhood because his father took that away from him. He wanted to put a smile on children's faces so they could enjoy their childhood. Playing with kids, doesn't make you a child molester. The parents who forced their kids to say that MJ molested them to get money should be ashamed of themselves. Being falsely accused of child molestations is the worst thing which could happen to a person's life.

[@ianthompson3647]

Playing with kids? He was sleeping in the same bed as them ffs. Would you be happy if this was the janitor of your local elementary sleeping with children? Of course you wouldn't. But because Jackson was famous and rich and "never had a childhood" (boo fucking hoo) you give him a free pass. You pedo defenders make me sick!

[@sukhbinderkaur7467]

He's educated and well-spoken with a positive attitude and mindset

[@spesfloret]

Yes, he is a gentleman.

[@saviraayu39]

I agree

[@thelostbonsai5820]

sukhbinder kaur got it from his dad

[@UnboxingLuigi]

Prince is a great son, michael was alive would be proud.

[@Ryan-bh9yg]

Unboxing Luigi he is alive.

[@dmarcuspotlow2974]

Right he is

[@May-pr3th]

I love the way Prince talks about Michael, he looks so proud to be his son. And I know Michael is very proud of his little boy.

[@angelnyambio2610]

May I mean, Who wouldn't?!!!

[@jarrettcone8949]

Michael did a good job with his kids they got all this money and they are so humble

[@jarrettcone8949]

lol

[@kristens.7879]

Victoria Janelle no she doesn't you don't even fucking know her

[@playab2954]

Jarrett Cone those aren't his kids bruh

[@masterownsu7573]

She isn't even black Michael wasnt very fertile and Lisa Marie didn't want to have his kids so he got a surrogate and a sperm donor. They look nothing like the Jackson's at all people.

[@Seroxm13]

Agree! Paris Jackson is super humble, sweet and helpful! When hurricane Maria hit my island (Puerto Rico), she came to my town (Aguadilla, of all places) 3 weeks after the hurricane, to help the children and their school. No one in here didn't even know about it after she left. She came quietly, all she wanted to do was help some kids ❤ We are so grateful of her help! We aprecciate it.

[@Conceptcreator]

beautiful how he said to them "do what you like" that's a good support from a parent, how it should be! no forcing a direction

[@inframinced6698]

He turned out to be a really wonderful, intelligent person.

[@BCreate2Dea]

He is very adorable since been a little and always be ;)

[@pinkfrosting0]

What a warm, lovely young man

Awwh i remember crushing over him when i was younger , and seeing how mature and w well spoken he became , i love him even more!

His kids are amazing. I love how they speak of MJ and that he's dad to them. It shows what a great father and person Michael Jackson was.

[@winonawu8260]

His dad must be so proud. Such a inspiring and humble young man.

[@IguanaMom]

I live for the day that Michaels youngest son yells at people "Stop calling me blanket!!"

[@lukepercy1996]

he's changed his name to Bigi

[@tabloidjunk]

I guess u got no reason to live anymore. Bigi no longer goes by that nickname.

[@ciaraaaa3863]

IguanaMom In Michael's vocabulary "Blanket" means Blessing. & It's actually cute once you actually look at Blanket(or bigi) his nickname fits him !

[@breakofdawn2352]

Well...he can't ever because that was a blessed nickname his father gave him and knowing how much he loves his father, he wouldn't ever say that.

[@breakofdawn2352]

I heard reports that it was a lie that he changed his nickname. This nickname is a blessed nickname Blanket 's father gave him so I don't think he would have ever changed it and then knowing how much he loved his father, I don't think he would!

[@savedanddelivered3239]

I love his aura he is so laid back and intelligent. He does not fight for media attention as much as Paris does .

[@artisticallyjay1806]

sandra holland RIGHT. I thought I was the only one

[@sarahhashmi5801]

I don't think Paris fought for media attention. She was always a subject of the media after her father's death especially since she had a harder time coping with his death. Both of them are doing what they like doing. You should check our her rolling stones interview. She's not what you'd assume.

[@veuxd]

Go check out the video where she is trying to escape the paparazzi at an airport. She hates the attention.

[@artisticallyjay1806]

Juice Paris even paid the paps to take pics at beach with her and Snoddy, she even admitted it. She definitely love the attention

[@tsukinousagi3174]

If she's craving attention or not we shouldn't judge because we're not in her shoes. I thought Michael taught that to us all.

[@BlackSkull289]

Michael would be proud of this level headed young man

[@NellieKAdaba]

I AM SO PROUD OF PRINCE JACKSON! The way he handles media questions are so spot on. I don’t know if they are getting intense media training or what, but I am constantly impressed by the way him and Paris carry themselves and speak. I am almost in tears hearing him speak. I know Michael is watching you from up above and he is so proud of you, Paris and Blanket ❤

[@wafflesmomforlife9215]

Damn, somebody did something right in raising this young man!!

Congrats to Prince Michael. I'm sure his father is very proud that his son grew up to be very caring. I wish him nothing but success.

[@LorieLee7]

Prince Michael seems like a well-spoken and kind young man.

[@charlieb1976]

It's crazy that all the trauma he has been thru, from losing his Dad, to having his memory destroyed, Prince Michael comes off as the most normal, grounded and down to earth out of the ENTIRE Jackson clan.

[@tiffani5353]

Oh my goodness! He is so handsome! He grew into a very strong and intelligent man❤

[@DuhAverageJoe]

Some of these comments are ridiculous! Whether he is or isn't biologically related to Michael doesn't matter. Michael raised him from birth until the day he died. So yeah, Michael Jackson IS his father.

[@spesfloret]

Of course MJ is their (Prince, Paris, Bigi-Prince) only Father in any case ( ! ). Ridiculous (some people thinking/believing/perceptions about this) is right.

[@prominentsinglesinternatio4168]

These people are not use to father's (comment section came from babydaddy's ala sperm donor's) lol

[@georgesullivan3542]

exactly ! Blood doesn't always make you a father.

[@tracyhurst7512]

Thank you! So sad

[@cprw10]

Thank you, I was about to write that myself when I read the comment section.. He raised them he IS their father, for that reason whether they're blood related or not it doesn't matter, he's always going to be their dad.

[@DANYXZ7]

I'm so proud of him!!❤

[@Alishakhan-vg5kk]

he was so young when I saw him in his father funeral now he is all grown up as a handsome man

I think MJ will always be the one artist I will always get teary eyed by hearing his name. In the realm of dance, he's the reason why I do it. He's a legend. Always will be.

[@najlasyed9172]

What a sweet son! Michael raised a good son!

[@amandakatesp1]

All my family is this way, and everyone is white, but all my aunts married with a black guy. I have cousins with blue eyes, with green eyes, with honey eyes, blond hair, and everyone is white but with some black traits like nose, mouth. I don't understand why people say that a black man can't be a white guy's father. Stop being ridiculous and accepted the reality, Michael is the father of all 3. Now let's just talk about the interview and how amazing, handsome and mature Prince is?

[@spesfloret]

Very well said, especially the last sentence/question.

[@TariAkpodiete]

even if he isn't the actual sperm donor - and it's no one's business - these three kids are his kids. p.s. most of the time when there is one black biological parent, the kids don't come out super white. that's just the way it is. most of the time, but not always. what's really hilarious is when two white appearing people get together and their kid or kids come out black appearing. no, it wasn't someone cheating, it's straight out of the family tree. especially in the American south! cause you know, slavery and rape by white masters. i saw a show once where this old white racist dude got his DNA tested and he was like 33% black! he didn't believe it, but DNA doesn't lie.

[@nesswebb459]

For those questioning his looks as well as Paris... I'm black. I have a sister. We are the color of cocoa powder. She has 3 children by a Hispanic man. They all look fully Hispanic. They actually have white skin and could pass for white or just full blooded Mexican. They have straight hair. So would you tell me that my sisters kids aren't black bc they don't look black? My sister birthed them. That's DNA for you, all mixed people don't look 1 way

It is unbelievable how people are talking, if somebody adopt a child, you would say he is not their child? NO, but those children are getting this all the time. They ARE MJ' children. Point. The other thing how people are commenting the child molestation case. He was NOT guilty, this was the result of his trial. If you gather all information it is clear what happened, shame on the people who wanted to get out money from him. Michael would be proud of his son, nice, keenly intelligent. Well done Michael, well done dear Mother Katherine.

[@TariAkpodiete]

he was found not guilty, doesn't mean he was innocent. huge difference. just thought i'd point that out to you. and absolutely, there are his kids. some people are really hung up on whether or not he was the actual sperm donor (not that it's really any of their business), but he loved and raised them and that's what counts!
