Michael Jackson’s son, Bigi “Blanket” Jackson, has taken legal action against his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, aiming to halt her use of funds from his father’s estate. Originally aligned, Bigi and Katherine diverged when Katherine opted to appeal a court ruling regarding Michael Jackson’s property. This dispute arose from the estate’s executors’ attempt to sell a portion of Jackson’s music catalog to Sony, a move opposed by Bigi and Katherine. While Bigi has abandoned the case, Katherine persists, prompting her grandson’s intervention to prevent estate funds from financing her legal battles.

Expressing skepticism about the appeal’s success and its benefit to the estate’s beneficiaries, Bigi seeks to limit Katherine’s access to estate funds exclusively for expenses incurred before her appeal. Social media users have weighed in, with some defending Katherine’s financial support and others critiquing Bigi’s actions.

Meanwhile, details of Katherine’s modest upbringing and her role as Michael Jackson’s children’s guardian emerge. Despite recent familial discord, Bigi remains close to his siblings, expressing commitment to his father’s legacy and pursuing activism for causes like climate change.
