Despite the fourteen years since he left, the Michael Jackson mania persists across the globe. Prince Jackson grew up under the shadow of such a prodigious luminary. So, what are his views and thoughts on other artists? Born to Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, the 26-year-old has made a name for himself in philanthropy. The California-born son of ‘King of Pop,’ who counts motorcycle riding as one of his passions, was the guest in Hotboxin with Mike Tyson‘s latest episode.
The conversation, foreseeably, hovered around his legendary father. Prince Jackson took Mike Tyson and DJ Whoo Kid through his childhood. The trio streamed through a flurry of topics. Besides his relationship with another musical genius, Prince, they talked about his curious nature. They wondered about his ability to alter his persona and how he presented himself to others and turned into his ordinary self in front of family members. Mike Tyson, in turn, narrated the time he met Michael Jackson in Cleveland.

Whoo Kid wanted to know whether Prince Jackson remembered meeting some of the key figures in the music industry, such as Jay-Z. Though the youngster couldn’t remember much since so many celebrities visited their residence, he did recollect seeing Beyonce once.
So Whoo Kid asked, “Culture of like uh like God like The Godly Artist, do you listen to like all these new guys out here, like, you know, like, Lil Nas X, and uh, who else? Uh, I mean, we had him up here…..do you turn up to that kind of stuff, um, or are you a Drake guy?”
Prince Jackson replied that it wasn’t so. Though he holds Drake in high regard as one of the artists who has stayed at the top of the business for a long time, he grew up loving old classic genres such as soul, funk, and RB&B. He added, “My dad has an incredible library, so that kind of keeps me busy, you know what I mean.”
