While this rumor is apparently somewhat old, it was the first we’ve ever heard of Michael Jackson having a secret biological son. The kid in question is Omer Bhatti, who’s in his early twenties and hails from Norway. Omer has been close with the pop star since the mid-90s, when he began touring with the singer and living on and off at Neverland Ranch. While Jackson supposedly told people that Bhatti is his son (the result of a one-night-stand with a Norwegian fan), others claim they met after he wowed M.J. with an on-point impression of the singer as a kid. “I’m not surprised Michael says he’s the father,” a source told Fox News in 2004. “It’s a fantasy. But these people did not exist in Michael’s life before 1996.”
Omer is allegedly convinced that he is Jackson’s son and is desperate for a DNA test to prove it. He was spotted yesterday by photographers shopping for groceries before heading over to the Jackson family home, where Michael’s three kids currently reside. Going to visit his siblings, perhaps?
Check out the pics above of Omer – taken yesterday- and Michael, from when he was around 20 years old (and – we think – before plastic surgery). Do you see a resemblance? [Photos: GettyImages/Splash News Online]

He had a long term friendship with Michael and apparently he’s still friends with the Jackson family so it’s not like it’s coming out of no where.
IMO he does look like Michael but who knows?
Just another one trying to get a piece of the pie,for gosh sakes let Michael rest in piece!!!!!!
HE LOOK LIKE HIM! IIDK HE MITE JUST B A LOOK A LIKE!!
THIS DUDE IS A JOKE! someone tell dude to stop dreaming and to get a job
Wait a sec guys…look at his cheek bones tho…and his low eyebrow and eyes….he looks like him. Mike cheeks and stuff in the 80′s were real! so idk peeps…
he dont look like hime at all wtf take the dna test
Are for really he mite have a son. why is he just showing up when he died he must wont some money
Simple.
In order to inherit a cleft chin, which Omar definitely has, both parents have to possess the genetic material for cleft chins.
Michael (I miss him so much already), didn’t have a cleft pre-surgery.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dat is so shoking.Is he really his son?And why is he showing up now.
He LOOK like him,but idk if datz Michael Jackson biological son!!!
Dam he fine he must be michael jackson son they both can be mins
I DONT THINK HE IS HIS FATHER HOW CAN A MAN BORN BLACK HAVE A SON THATS BORN WHITE REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE DID TO HIS SKIN IF HE DOES HAVE ANY KIDS I THINK THE MOST THEY WOULD BE IS MIXED NOT FULLY WHITE… I MEAN COME MICHEAL COULDNT CHANGE HIS GENES ONLY THE OUTSIDE OF HIS BODY…JUST LIKE IM VERY SURE THAT “HIS KIDS” ARENT HIS BIOLOGICALLY MAYBE MENTALLY BUT THATS ALL
I have a cleft chin and my son inherited that. But my husband does not have it therefore I don’t think you need both parents to have that.
NO I DONT THINK SO!!!! IF HE REALLY THOUGHT MICHAEL WAS HIS FATHER WHY DIDNT HE TRY TO PROVE IT WHEN MICHAEL WAS ALIVE…WHY COME FORWARD NOW AFTER HE’S GONE…..ITS A SHAME WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY AND DO FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY……
I agree with you Jada. So now that MJ is dead, this guy wants to claim he might be his son. Why now, why didn’t he say anything when he was alive. WOW, people are amazing, and will do anything for money!
this guy lookz like micheal jackson it could be you never kno
MAN YALL GO FEEL STUPID IF THAT IS HIS SON QUIT TALKING %#+@+~^`()!(!^($ ABOUT PEOPLE IF YALL TRUE MICHEAL FRIENDS SHUT THE #~&%*&#_#!%`)$(+ UP AND TRY 2 HEAL THE WORLD #(^_$)$#!_)~$##@( CUZ AINT NOBODY PERFECT AND IF HIS FAMILY DONT CARE YALL SHOULDNT EITHER ….
You never know. Somebody from Norway is white most of the time. He looks like he is a mix.
He kind of looks a little like him. He is close to the family apparently too. So much questions.
HELL NAW!!!!! HE LOOKS NOTHIN LIKE MICHAEL! I THINK THAT HE NEEDS TO LET IT GO. AND IF THE JACKSON FAMILY PLAY INTO THEY SUM FOOLS…..
no he is not michael son he dont even look like him and mj family
the clef in his chin just blows this claim out of the water.. everybody knows that Micheal Jackson clef was man made..Ha!
WHOW O BEE your video is GREAT, DNA TEST or not your video proved to me you are who you say you are, Keep your Dad alive you are Michael Jackson keep his legend going as they say THIS IS IT, YOU ARE IT
so if it is leave him and it alone.
He looks like MJ, but in my heart, I don’t think that MJ is his biological father. MJ had children all over the world that he claimed as his own. I think Omer maybe one of those claimed children.Who wouldn’t want MJ to b their father?
who knows I could be his daughter too
i dont believe that this was really hes son because they dont look alike at all in my eyes and secondly if it was his child then micheal would have took him in and everything and he would hav the same life as the other kids micheal wouldnt abandon his son like that micheal loves children this guy is a total fake now let mj rest in peace
Yeah right
he already has his kids.
And they are his biological kids.
He doesn’t look like him, and I doubt that he is Michael’s son. He is just someone looking for a pay out and it’s sad but people will do anything for money and fame.
Omer Bhatti is a an Indian (Asian) name and Omer says that he is MJ’s son. What a joke? Omer Bhatti don’t dream too much and you don’t look like MJ at all. Look at above PICS. Why did you wait this long to tell the world that you are MJ’s son? No, one will believe your story. Take the DNA to prove.
Yes, he is looking for a pay out. May be he thinks Jackson’s family will offer him some money to shut his mouth. Dream on Omer. May be he thinks he is the next Michael Jackson (POP Start)…hahahaha
Wow he really looks like Michael but idk, why didnt he say anything when MJ was alive i think he just want some of his money!
what the hell? he doesn’t look like him at all.
just another person trying to get their face on tv through the poor man’s death :/
Leave Michael alone already >:[
People couldn’t stop with their crap when he was alive and now he is finally relieved of it all and they still can’t just let him Rest In Peace? Quit it already!
love you Michael <3
dude, can no one take into consideration that Jackson did confirm a one-night stand with a norwegian woman he could have traits like her & stuff like – justttt idk don’t deny unless you really know.
YALL ARE REALLY TRIPPIN…THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS GUY HAS COME FOWARD..HE CAME FORWARD IN 04 AND REPORTS SAY THAT OMER SAID THAT HE WAS NOT HIS SON..AND Y WOULD HE BE TRYING TO GET MONEY NOW WHEN IN THE LATE 90′s WHEN HE WAS WITH MICHAEL HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT THEN? YOU ALL NEED TO STOP COMING AT HIM WRONG LIKE HE’S THE BAD GUY
WOW…YALL PEOPLE R RIDICULOUS!!! MICHAEL JACKSON WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN…HE HAD A SKIN DISEASE AND SOME SURGERIES…MEANING..IF HE HAD KIDS ON HIS OWN, THEY WOULD BE HALF BLACK…NOT THE COMPLEXION HE WAS WHEN HE DIED…YOU CAN CHANGE UR LOOK, BUT NOT UR RACE…IMMA NEED U ALL 2 EDUCATE URSELVES. THANKS
OMG…and now i jus watched these videos after my 1st comment…i kno this kid isn’t his son, and the singing and dancing also proves that (aside from science and looks also. lol). This kid sings and dances horribly….My grandmother could do a better job!
Omer was always present in Michael’s life, they never lost contact. He’s always been in the shadows for whatever reason. He was even in the front row with the immediate family; and in a family portrait…he is connected some way. IDK
This is Omer when he was 11. Can anyone say Blanket??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgV9CTTymTA
If Omer isn’t Michael’s son then maybe Omer is the father of Blanket?
Nah, Omer is a Jackson.
Also, for everyone claiming they are so smart about ethnicity and mixed races, I know someone who is pale looks all caucasian but has alot of Lebanese. Guys that sit here and claim you have to be a certain skin tone to be mixed are racist. I know people who aren’t dark skinned but are in fact mixed. I’m that way.
To ARDENFANATIQUE
He and his Norwegian family has never claimed Omer was Michael’s son. His mother is Norwegian and his father is from +%#@!&(~!)+%*))! stan. They first met Michael while on holiday in the mid 90′s. They connected, and Michael invited them to stay at Neverland. Omer’s parents worked there. The English tabloids are trying to get comments on this issue from Omer’s parents, but their lips are sealed. None have spoken with Omer, so how the heck can you say that Omer is trying to take advantage of MJ’s death? He’s the victim in this aftermath!
Other sources suggest that Michael sent two employees to be “become” this boys parents after the boys mother claimed she couldnt look after him! Why would he banish this boy away and swear him to secrecy if the boy was his child??Why would he do that??? He loved his children and other children all over the world. He loved being a dad and having children!! He would have been proud to have another son, not ashamed even if the boy was a result of an alleged one night stand!
As for the Blanket look a like remark – yes he had long hair and dark eyes as a young boy and resembles Blanket but how many other young kids can you make look that way?? make up and contacts can work wonders. Who saw the male Britney Spears look a like in Americas got talent???
and Billie Jean – wasnt that written for Thriller which was released in 1982? and wasnt the song released in 1983?? that would make the boy older than 25 now wouldnt it? i was born in 1984 and im 25!! So could Michael forsee the future as well??
If the boy is his then he is his and if hes not then hes not – end of…….. at the end of the day, whether he is his child or not, Michael obviously had love for him and he was clearly apart of Michaels life.
The media need to sell stories to make money – this story comes weeks after rumours that his children arent his and that he was gay – make up your mind!!!
Let the man rest in peace and let his family grieve!!!
I am just shocked by the horrible grammar in most of the posts on this thread!! If you are illiterate, don’t post.
this kid is Michael Jackson’s son !
Tee you can be (or at least look Caucasian) and still have a Black parent, such was the case of the real life case of a South African woman who looked Black, but was born to 2 white parents. It was a rare genetic disposition or something that caused this to happen.
The name of the movie is “Skin”. Really really good movie!
Also people of color come in so many hues and shades of color, that is why some Black people can pass for Caucasian, as many did back in the day when slaves got away from being enslaved. They passed!
thats not his son. they look nothin alike
I agree with Betty. This is getting outta hand. Leave this family alone!
You are so ignorant. Do you really think he is some random guy that claims he is the child of MJ. Well, if you watched the memorial you would see that he sat on the front row with all his other children. What the youtube clip you see that they celebrated christmas together. See other clips on the net where you see them together all the time. Even though MJ may not be Omar’s real father, he acted as one. Get you facts right HATERS…Ignorant f**kers
…and if are true michael jacksons fan you would have seen that he dedicated Invincible to Benjamin Hermansen, who was a good friend of Omer Bhatti!
No, this is Michael Jackson’s grown up boyfriend. He doesn’t look like a relative, he looks like a twink.
NOWAY HES MICHAEL JACKSONS SON!!!!HOW FUNNY & CONVIENT IT COMES OUT AFTER MICHAELS DEATH’SO HE CANNOT DENY IT.I HATE HOW PEOPLE TALK N JUST MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT SOMEONE.DO U PEOPLE HAVE SUMTHING BETTER TO DO BESIDES MAKE THINGS UP.ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON!MICHAEL ONLY HAS THE 3 KIDS PARIS PRINCE N BLANKET!
