Prince Jackson Sends Birthday Wishes to Brother Bigi

As the youngest son of the late Michael Jackson, Bigi (formerly known as Blanket) celebrated his 22nd birthday, prompting his older brother, Prince, to take a heartfelt moment to extend birthday wishes and pay homage to him. Prince marked the occasion with a thoughtful gesture on his Instagram Story.

In his birthday tribute, Prince shared a nostalgic throwback photograph of Bigi, originally posted by a fan account dedicated to the memory of the King of Pop's three children. The endearing image captured a beaming baby Bigi clad in denim overalls, adorned with several celebratory emojis added by his brother. 

Additionally, Prince included a snapshot from earlier in February, showcasing Bigi's success as an emerging filmmaker at the Santa Monica Film Festival, where his short film 'Rochelles' earned him the prestigious award for best drama.

In the photo, Bigi proudly posed alongside a group, brandishing his well-deserved accolade, while Prince accompanied the image with a touching message: "Bro is killing it! Chasing his dreams and winning awards." The birthday sentiment concluded with a simple yet affectionate "HBD yo!"

While Prince and their sister Paris, have been relatively vocal about their professional endeavours in recent years, Bigi, who was welcomed by the late music icon via surrogate, maintains a more reserved and private demeanour within the family.

In a rare public appearance, both Prince and Bigi emerged to honour their father on what would have been his 65th birthday in August of the previous year. The brothers attended a special event at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, coinciding with the ongoing Michael Jackson ONE show by Cirque du Soleil.

During the "Blue Sapphire Birthday Celebration," they engaged in a public Q&A session for fans and partook in the mesmerising Cirque du Soleil performances, while additional festivities commemorated the legacy of the ‘Thriller’ singer.
