14 DAY TRIAL // Omer Bhatti’s story is not new, since speculation about him being Michael Jackson’s son has been around since forever, with many choosing to believe he was the result of a one night stand the singer had while on tour. Until now ignored, Bhatti is again making headlines for having been given a front row seat at the memorial service, right next to the entire Jackson clan, which is again fuelling speculation of the type of relationship he had with the singer, as The Sun reports.
The British tabloid got a hold of a picture of Bhatti, who is now trying to make a name for himself as a rapper/hip hop artist as O-bee, sitting right next to La Toya and Janet Jackson. This can’t but mean that the 25-year-old man was in close relations with Michael, which might also mean that he was indeed his secret lovechild, The Sun infers. Moreover, the resemblance between Bhatti and Michael himself, as well as between Bhatti and younger son Blanket is certainly too much to be ignored, says the same publication.
“Devastated Omer Bhatti, 25, sat with head bowed and wearing dark glasses alongside the star's grieving brothers and sisters during the poignant tribute two weeks ago. It will further fuel suspicion that he is Jacko’s fourth child. And childhood snaps show an uncanny likeness to Prince Michael II, seven – known as Blanket – the youngest of the star’s three ‘official’ children. Michael, who died last month aged 50, is said to have told pals in 2004 that Norwegian Omer was born following a one-night stand in 1984. Omer is now believed to be seeking a DNA test to discover the truth.” The Sun writes.
What is known so far is that Michael struck a close friendship with Bhatti after seeing him perform some of his most famous dance moves. At one point, reports indicate, the boy was living at Neverland with Michael, and everybody treated him like a member of the family, although no one seemed to wonder whether he was the singer’s son or not. Later on, Bhatti’s mother and father also took jobs at Neverland, it is further being said, while the boy continued to do public appearance with the singer and even sit next to him for family photos such as this one.
To add more fuel to the fire, several paparazzi agencies in the US are also reporting that Bhatti met the other day with the Jackson clan, possibly to make a claim on the late singer’s estate. Since not many facts are yet available on this, keep an eye on this space for updates.
