14 DAY TRIAL // This would have to be the third coup de grace in the scandal regarding Brandon Howard as the illegitimate son of late pop icon Michael Jackson. Yesterday it was claimed that DNA test results showed a 99.9% match between the two, thus serving as irrefutable proof they were father and son.
Now, it's being claimed that the DNA results are actually closer to those of Joe Jackson, Michael's father, making Howard Michael Jackson's long lost brother. The shocking and eyebrow-raising news comes from the New York Daily News, which claims to have spoken with an insider of the Jackson clan, who confirmed that Joe was the father.
Brandon Howard displays a shocking similarity with the late King of Pop as far as his appearance, voice, and mannerisms go. He reminded people so much of Michael that speculation began to arise there was a blood connection between the two.
Conspiracy theorists put two and two together and concluded that the birth of Brandon came one year before the release of the song “Billie Jean,” which sees Michael sing about not being the father of a certain child.
It was also revealed that Brandon's mother, Miki Howard, was a gospel singer who used to tour with Michael and who, incidentally, also used to go by the nickname “Billie.” The father theory gains some credibility when you find out that Joe was Miki's manager for a while.
Despite the fact that Michael sings “the kid is not my son” in his song, the family claims that it has long known about Brandon being rumored to be Joe's son, but decided to not give any credibility to the rumor.
“I’ve been hearing for years that Brandon is Joe’s son,” said the source within the Jackson clan, despite the fact that backup singer Augie Johnson, 65, who worked with Michael on his album “Off the Wall” claimed he was Brandon's biological father and has even agreed to do a paternity test.
Right now, the issue is getting murkier by the hour instead of being cleared up, with more factors being thrown into the mix, with the potential to create a big scandal for the Jackson estate.
As of now, Brandon Howard claims he doesn't have any wish of being acknowledged as Michael Jackson's illegitimate son, nor does he have any aspirations towards his estate. He doesn't want to be associated with the people claiming to have conducted the DNA tests and is not interested in the result.
