Omer Bhatti, a Norwegian rapper, recently shared a post featuring an image of Bigi Jackson that has since become a hot topic among fans. One remark captured the sentiment of countless admirers: “Bigi looks just like [MJ].”
The reactions to Bhatti’s post have been overwhelming, with fans expressing amazement at Bigi’s growth and his uncanny likeness to his father.

Custody and Guardianship After Michael Jackson’s Death
When Michael Jackson passed away, the custody and well-being of his children became a significant concern. At the time of his death, his kids—Prince Jackson, Paris Jackson, and Bigi Jackson—were 12, 11, and 7 years old, respectively.
The children’s mothers are Debbie Rowe, mother to the two eldest children, and an unidentified surrogate for Bigi. Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, alongside Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson, stepped in as co-guardians, ensuring the children were cared for during a tumultuous time.
Katherine Jackson Steps Down as Co-Guardian
In a recent turn of events, Katherine Jackson, now 87, has decided to step down as co-guardian for Bigi, who is now 15. Court documents reveal that Katherine feels TJ, 39, can fully assume guardianship responsibilities.
The documents state, “Katherine is no longer needed to fulfill the duties that were necessary when joint-guardians were appointed… Given her own age and the fact that [Bigi] is now 15 years old, Katherine feels that TJ is able to assume all necessary responsibilities of the guardianship for the Minor Child.”
A Family’s Musical Legacy
Despite the changes in guardianship, the Jackson family’s connection to music remains strong. Prince and Bigi, in particular, are noted for their affinity for the Beatles and their father’s music.
This musical heritage undoubtedly shaped their upbringing and continues to be a significant part of their lives. The family’s ongoing bond with music serves as a touching thread linking their past with the present.
Reflecting on Bigi’s Journey
Bigi Jackson’s journey, from a child thrust into the public eye after his father’s death to a teenager living more privately, reflects the unique challenges and experiences of the Jackson family.
As Bigi continues to grow and carve out his own identity, the support and care of his family, particularly TJ, will be crucial. The recent changes in guardianship highlight the evolving dynamics within the Jackson family, underscoring their commitment to ensuring Bigi’s well-being.
