Remember Omer Bhatti? Michael Jackson’s former protege and alleged secret son, is treating Blanket, the late pop icon’s youngest son, as if he were his own.
Bhatti has been living with the Jackson family and telling poor little Blanket, along with his siblings Prince and Paris, that he’s their father, according to reports.
The 25-year-old Norwegian rapper, who is rumored to be Michael’s son, first showed up on the Jackson scene in 1996. There’s no doubt he and MJ were close.
But you have to admit, it’s pretty weird that Omer Bhatti tells Jackson’s children, “Call me Michael” introduces himself as Michael and is changing his name.
“Omar has even told the children he’s changed his name from Omar Jamal Bhatti to Omar Michael Bhatti,” a source close to the dysfunctional family reveals.
At various times Bhatti has told Blanket, Paris and Prince that he is their father, that their father sent him to take care of him and that he is “a real Jackson.”
Omer Bhatti holds a picture of Michael Jackson. They must be related!
The chaotic environment of the L.A. compound where MJ’s children live with their grandma, Katherine Jackson, and others has been in the news a lot lately.
California’s Department of Children and Family Services visited several times recently and has an open investigation into a stun gun incident involving Blanket.
As for Bhatti, he’s lived there for some time: “He has infiltrated the Jackson family in a way that many find to be disturbing and detrimental to the children.”
He dresses identical to Michael, who seemed to revel in the confusion and controversy Omer generated. Michael even told some people that Omar was his son.
Joe Jackson says he is as well. Still, detractors say that since Michael died, Bhatti has latched on to the family and is manipulating Michael’s kids constantly.
“Prince has been particularly vulnerable to Omar and his claims,” the family source said. “He’s starting to believe Omar’s claims that Michael is his father.”
Long lost love child? Or random dude exploiting Michael’s traumatized children? Either way, he’s living off the Jacksons’ money! Sweet deal!
