So, recently, Iron Mike invited the son of iconic Michael Jackson, Prince Jackson, to his podcast. The conversation they shared delved into varying topics.

However, one such topic that grabbed the audience’s attention was Prince’s philanthropy. It’s no news that ‘The King of Pop’ used his fame efficiently.

Prince Jackson told ‘Kid Dynamite’ in detail about his mission. He touched upon the fact that his father’s lending a helping hand to people in need fostered his ambition. As he said, “I mean, you know, ever since I was really little, my father was trying to teach us how important it was to give back to the community, to any cause, just to give back to the world because he felt that we were blessed, we were privileged with all that we had, and that it’s our duty to share that with other people.”

Furthermore, he explained that The Heal the World Foundation was supposed to focus on homelessness, child abuse, and child hunger on a global scale. However, they were a student service organization so they wanted to focus on LA. Prince elucidated that he graduated and shifted his focus to impact, not just numbers. That’s when they became a non-profit and aimed to empower Los Angeles youth with life skills. Jackson added, “I grew up in Neverland and lived with the Sheikh of Middle Eastern countries, so it’s very detached from reality. But my father always took me to less privileged areas because he wanted to show me that it wasn’t normal for us to live like this.”
