Michael Jackson’s youngest child, Prince Michael Jackson II, known widely as “Blanket” for many years, made a significant personal decision to change his nickname after more than a decade. Born in 2002 via surrogate, Prince Michael Jackson II earned the nickname “Blanket” due to his father’s habit of covering him with a blanket to shield his identity and maintain privacy.
This nickname followed him throughout his early life, but by 2015, he chose to rebrand himself as “Bigi” Jackson. The decision marked a new chapter in his life, reflecting his desire to move away from the legacy of his childhood nickname.
Although Bigi is the son of one of the most iconic figures in music history, he has shown little interest in following in his father’s musical footsteps. Instead, he has emerged as an advocate for environmental causes, particularly focusing on the pressing issue of climate change. In a 2021 interview, Bigi spoke about his commitment to addressing climate change and the importance of raising awareness about this global challenge.
During the interview, Bigi expressed his admiration for the history and creativity that surrounded his father’s work, while also emphasizing the need to contribute positively to the world. He stated, “That’s what each of us want to do, make some things that people hopefully enjoy but also that benefit their lives.” His passion for climate activism reflects a deep concern for the environment and a sense of responsibility toward future generations.
After the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, Bigi, along with his siblings Prince Michael Jackson I and Paris Jackson, was raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Today, Bigi lives independently in a mansion in California.
Public reaction to Bigi’s name change and his dedication to climate activism has been overwhelmingly supportive. Many have praised him for his resilience in coping with the loss of his father and for his commitment to making a difference in the world. Supporters have expressed their admiration for his choice to focus on climate change and have wished him well in his endeavors.
Despite his famous lineage, Bigi has openly admitted that he does not possess his father’s talent for singing or dancing. Instead, he is channeling his energy into raising awareness about environmental issues, and encouraging others to take action to combat climate change.
As Bigi Jackson continues to carve out his own path, he remains dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the world, all while stepping out from the shadow of his father’s legacy.
9-Year-Old Girl Featured on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Has Been Found Safe
Heather Unbehaun, who was accused of abducting her daughter from an Illinois suburb six years ago, has surrendered herself, marking the conclusion of a widely followed case. She is currently being held in custody at the Kane County Adult Justice Center in Illinois, facing abduction charges without the possibility of bail.
In a recent development, Kayla Unbehaun was discovered safe in North Carolina just days before her mother’s surrender and was subsequently reunited with her custodial father. Heather Unbehaun was apprehended in North Carolina on a fugitive warrant issued by Illinois authorities for charges of kidnapping and child abduction. Initially detained on a $250,000 bond, she was later released after posting bail on Tuesday, as confirmed by Asheville Police Department spokesperson Samantha Booth.
Kayla’s abduction occurred on July 4, 2017, following a parade in South Elgin, Illinois. Heather informed Kayla’s father, Ryan Iserka, that they were going camping but failed to return. Subsequently, a felony warrant was issued for Heather’s arrest.
The breakthrough in the case happened when an individual in Asheville recognized Kayla from the Netflix series “Unsolved Mysteries” and promptly alerted the authorities.
Ryan Iserka expressed gratitude to law enforcement officials and supporters for their efforts in reuniting him with Kayla. Heather Unbehaun is scheduled to appear in court next on Wednesday morning at the Kane County Judicial Center.
