This article contains mentions of child abuse and suicide.
However, Bigi (formerly known as Blanket) has largely stayed out of the limelight.
Prince had a turbulent childhood, both before and after his father’s death.
Let’s take a look at the tragic, real-life story of Prince Jackson.
“So I know why he did it.”
Unfortunately for the two innocent kids, their relationship with their mother has been strained.
Two years after Michael’s death in 2011, Rowe gave an interview about the nature of her pregnancies.
Her words were scathing, and she seemingly had little regard for Prince or his sister.
“I was just the vessel.
It wasn’t Michael’s sperm.
Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me.
I was his thoroughbred,” said Rowe (viaHuffPost).
Michael’s ex-wife isn’t the only one to make this claim.
“I was just helping out a friend.
Rowe and Michael first met under strange circumstances, as Rowe was a nurse treating him for vitiligo.
I was never cut out to be a mother I was no good.
I don’t want these children in my life.
My children are my animals now.”
At one point, even Michael’s sister, La Toya Jackson, claimed the statements were true.
As for Prince, he explained, “It was a shock, It all came at once.
But [we] learned how to deal with it by just kind of ignoring it.”
Paris, Prince, and Bigi Jackson were now without a father.
“It was beneficial.
There were 16 people here,” Prince Jackson told the Los Angeles Times in 2016.
“It took you away from the grief.
We’d wake up in the middle of the night, make quesadillas, and talk.”
Paris spoke to the crowd about her love for her father before bursting into tears.
Prince, along with the rest of the family, hugged Paris tightly before walking off stage.
Prince’s cousin, TJ Jackson, was named his guardian in her absence.
However, there were times when the pair didn’t have the best relationship.
In 2013, reports surfaced that Paris had fallen victim to depression and attempted suicide.
Prince feels Paris is betraying their father by getting close to Debbie."
Thankfully, they seem to have been able to get over their rocky patches so far.

“He would say, ‘They’re going to kill me.
They’re going to kill me,'” Prince revealed (via theBBC).
To my understanding, he was supposed to see to it my dad stayed healthy."
The incident reportedly occurred when Prince was on his way to school in Los Angeles.
And he didn’t hold back.
Otherwise, they would have been in gangs or f*****g dead."
In 2020, Prince Jackson had to say goodbye to his dog of 14 years, Kenya.
Michael Jackson gifted the pup to Prince as a Christmas present when he was a young child.
In an Instagram post dedicated to his loyal best friend, Prince explained how devastated he was.
“I couldn’t imagine my life without Kenya as he was so important for my growth …
This dog meant so much to me it really hurts to see him go.”
He went on to implore his followers to send him any videos or photographs they may find of Kenya.
Thank you for being such a great nephew to him," he penned.
