14 DAY TRIAL // It’s been only a couple of days that Joe Jackson went on television and confirmed that Omer Bhatti was Michael Jackson’s secret son and family photos showing the two have already begun to emerge. Most of them were taken on special occasions such as Christmas and on birthdays, and they clearly seem to show, according to The Sun, that Bhatti might have been related to the late King of Pop.
The family album just made public (which you can see here) includes photos that clearly indicate that Bhatti was considered a member of the family. One such pic shows Michael sitting with Prince, back then just a toddler, bouncing on his knee, while Omer is standing behind the singer, with one hand lovingly placed on his shoulder, the aforementioned publication says. Others show Omer with the Jackson children, acting around them as if he was their real brother.
Speculation about Bhatti being Michael’s secret lovechild, presumably the product of a one-night encounter with a fan, first began when several media outlets noted that he was seated front row at the public memorial held at LA’s Staples Center, next to Janet Jackson and Katherine, Michael’s mother. Since then, Bhatti, now a struggling rapper who goes by the name O-bee, has denied reports, insisting he is only a close friend of Michael’s who had the lucky chance to spend many wonderful days at Neverland.
On the other hand, reports have it that Bhatti continues to be extremely close to the Jackson clan, with several paparazzi agencies claiming their photographers spotted him at Katherine’s house when attorneys were also present. From this they concluded that Bhatti was actually Michael’s son and wanted a share of the estate that he left behind, a claim that has not been denied or confirmed by the family.
The only one to speak of Bhatti has been, so far, Joe Jackson, as noted above. While Joe barely had any contact with Michael in the years before his sudden death, he claims in a recent interview that he had good knowledge that Omer was the singer’s child. Moreover, Joe Jackson says, Bhatti looks like a Jackson, sings like a Jackson and dances like a Jackson, which can only mean one thing: he is a Jackson.
