Tito Jackson: Blanket might become the next Michael Jackson

Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket will choose their own paths

Tito Jackson will keep an eye on Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket

Tito Jackson has rubbished rumours that brother Michael’s children are being pushed into show business.

US reports have claimed that the Thriller star’s dad Joe, 79 - who was behind the Jackson 5 - is grooming Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, for fame.

‘My father has no intentions whatsoever of turning Michael’s kids into a singing group,’ says Tito, 55. ‘He’s been there, done that already.’

Instead, Tito reckons the children will go down the academic route.

‘Michael’s kids are going to be allowed to be pretty much what they want to be, as long as it’s beneficial to themselves and to the world,’ he tells the Daily Mirror.

‘They are not going to be pushed into becoming performers. If it’s natural, then maybe they will. Blanket is the one I can see it happening to. He is so like Michael.’
