14 Years After His Death, Michael Jackson’s Son Relives the Times ‘King of Pop’ Was Just a Regular Father at Home on Mike Tyson’s Podcast

It’s been over a decade since the world bid goodbye to one of the greatest musical icons of the modern era. There wasn’t a person on the planet who couldn’t recognize him. And there weren’t any people who didn’t want the ‘King of Pop’s show in their homeland. However, Michael Jackson could be himself in front of his children, irrespective of the persona he adopted outside or how the masses saw him. Millions across the globe still love him. So his son went down memory lane, revisiting when the man who stood before him and his siblings was their father, not the musical prodigy the world knew.

Prince Jackson was born in Los Angeles on February 13, 1997, to the ‘King of Pop’ and Debbie Rowe. The 26-year-old, a business administration graduate, is reportedly an avid motorcycle rider. However, he has earned a formidable reputation as a philanthropist. So he joined Mike Tyson and DJ Whoo Kid in Hotboxin’s latest episode.

A son remembers 

The conversation began with Prince Jackson reflecting on his early life growing up in the sprawling ‘Neverland’ amidst exotic animals. They also discussed AI’s foray into music. The trio also touched on Michael Jackson’s relationship and rivalry with other musical greats, such as Prince. Then DJ Whoo Kid mentioned how he came across a few videos that Prince Jackson shared over the years where he saw Michael Jackson reading stories. He could switch over and speak differently to different sets of people.

Mike Tyson said, “You know, he’s just cool. He controlled his presence. ” Then, the guest at Hotboxin’ mentioned how Michael Jackson’s curiosity led him to read and learn about many things, including animals such as llamas. Upon hearing the animal’s name, Mike Tyson said he disliked the South American camelid.

Prince Jackson mentioned having a lot of home videos that showed Michael Jackson hanging out with the family and enjoying his role as a father. He said, “But we do have a lot of footage of, uh, my father just being a dad…”  Then he explained that his father understood what his nickname, the ‘King of Pop,’ meant. He also knew all the trappings that came with it. However, Michael Jackson knew that all these extravagances came with an expiration date.

In his personal life as a father, Michael Jackson was a regular person. It made Prince Jackson wonder how the musical genius could balance the two sides of his personality. He said, “I don’t know how you balance the two personalities, you know, constantly being able to, especially because he could never go out right. He would always be swarmed…”

The siblings

Besides, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Debbie Rowe became parents to Paris Jackson. She seems to have followed her father into music. A couple of months ago, news of her prowess in rock climbing dazzled everyone. Then, the ‘King of Pop’ became father to Prince Michael Jackson II, who later became Blanket, only to change his name to Bigi in 2015. The star kids celebrated their father’s sixty-fifth birthday.
