“Hello, Blanket! This is Joe Jackson. Your health is… I don’t know what. You’re like your father. Now I understand why your father had you wear masks all the time ’cause news people was bothering him so much and he tried to disguise you as much as possible.
“But I want you to stay healthy and stay off those bikes!” he added.
Recently, Jackson’s mother Katherine had surrendered her co-guardianship over Blanket.
The 87-year-old mother of the King of Pop filed papers to hand over the guardianship to Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson, Blanket’s cousin.
Michael Jackson died from an accidental overdose of anaesthesia in June, 2009, and Katherine had since shared legal guardianship of Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and 11-year-old Blanket.
