Soon he will embody Michael Jackson: This is how Jafaar Jackson, nephew of the superstar who died in 2009, ticks.
Jaafar Jackson (26) is the next member of the legendary Jackson family to burst into the limelight – and in a big way. Finally, he will embody his uncle Michael Jackson (1958-2009) in a biopic. A great honor for the young man, as he is already posing as the King of Pop in the accompanying picture.
Jafaar Jackson was born in Los Angeles in 1996. He is the first son that Michael’s older brother Jermaine (68) has with his wife Alejandra Oaziaza. Spicy: Oaziaza was previously in a relationship with Randy Jackson (61). At that time, she already had two children with Jermaine’s younger brother.
Musical heritage instead of professional golfers
through the Jacksons, Jafaar initially wanted to be a professional golfer as a child. But then he followed in the footsteps of his father and uncles, who formed the Jackson Five from the 1960s. Jafaar has been playing the piano, singing and dancing since he was twelve. In his private life he prefers to listen to soul music, including that of his family.
He once planned to start a band with his younger brother Jermajesty (22). In 2015, they recorded the song “iPANDAS I Love You” with their father for a Unicef initiative. Both young musicians are now trying their luck solo.
In 2019, Jafaar Jackson released his first single, “Got Me Singing,” along with a video that also showcases his dancing skills. In the same year he recorded an album, which was not released. He is currently working on an album again.
The biopic about Michael Jackson by “Bohemian Rhapsody” producer Graham King (61) and “Equalizer” director Antoine Fuqua (57) is his film debut. Before that he played in a music video of another uncle, Tito Jackson (69).
Jafaar Jackson is said to be enthusiastic about painting and fashion in addition to music. In 2017 he made his debut as a model. Nothing is known about his private life. Except that he is said to have once shocked two cousins with a stun gun – Prince (25) and Blanket (20), Michael Jackson’s children …
