Michael Jackson’s love child?
Omer Bhatti has reportedly asked for a DNA test to confirm that he is the son of Michael Jackson. According to the Daily Mail, Jackson was said to have told friends that Bhatti, now a 25-year-old Norwegian rapper, was conceived after a one-night stand in Norway in 1984. Jackson’s youngest son, Blanket share similar physical characteristics, fuelling speculation that Bhatti is Jackson’s progeny. Bhatti was in the first row at Jackson’s memorial service at the Staples centre, sitting between Prince Michael I and Rebbie, Jackson’s oldest sister. "’Make what you like. I don’t want to discuss anything," says Bhatti’s father Riz, who acknowledged Bhatti’s presence at the memorial but refused to comment further.
