In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Prince spoke about some of his father’s unusual behaviors. He revealed that the reason they wore masks as children was to keep their identities hidden.

Back in 2021, Jackson's daughter - Paris - spoke to supermodel Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series No Filter, where she opened up about her father's parenting style. Paris revealed that her dad always ensured his children "earned" their privilege.

Paris shared with Campbell that her father made sure they were well-rounded and educated, not just exposed to luxury and glamorous experiences like staying in five-star hotels. They were shown everything, including third-world countries, and saw the full range of life. Growing up, it was important to earn what they wanted. For instance, if they wanted five toys, they had to read five books first. It wasn’t about entitlement or thinking they deserved something without effort; it was about working hard and achieving something meaningful.

Recently Michael Jackson’s 3 kids made a rare appearance after years and look unrecognizable.
