Michael Jackson's son Blanket seen in rare family snap with Jackson cousins
Michael Jackson's youngest son Bigi has been seen in a rare family Instagram snap alongside his Jackson cousins.
The 21-year-old, who was also known as Blanket Jackson, posed alongside Jermaine Jackson's sons Randy Jackson Jr., Donté Jackson, Royal Jackson and Jermajesty Jackson as well as Norwegian rapper Omer Bhatti. The gang were snapped as they enjoyed time out in what appeared to be a bar. Bhatti shared the snap to his Instagram alongside the palm tree emoji as he wrote: "Lately".
Standing on the right is the youngest of Michael Jackson's children, who often shirks the limelight and doesn't attend many public appearances. One of his other sightings was last year when he attended a Cirque du Soleil performance of One alongside siblings Paris and Prince in honour of what would have been his father's 65th birthday.

Blanket is rarely seen by the public and typically keeps a very low profile. In fact, he received his nickname 'Blanket' from his father because he would often cover his face in public in an effort to remain secretive.
Trump's awkward confession about Lisa Marie Presley & Michael Jackson's sex lifeHis legal name is Prince Michael Jackson II, but nowadays he often goes by Bigi. He also became known as the "invisible boy," due to the way he shied away from the public.
He was born in 2002, but the identity of his mother is unknown because she was reportedly a surrogate. He was only seven years old when his father died and PEOPLE magazine reported that he "acted very lost and extremely upset." A family friend told the publication: “The kids live like Michael is constantly looking down upon them... [Blanket] has had the most problems adjusting after Michael died."
During high school, Blanket became comfortable hanging out with his friends and many cousins. At the time, he was in the care of his grandmother, Katherine Jackson. However, when he grew up, he purchased his own £2million luxury home.
In 2012, Blanket explained in the documentary Jacksonology: Our Story his desire to become a director. He said: "Sometimes I would go in [Michael's] room while he was getting ready for something and watch. He was a good dancer, he was a very good dancer. I can't dance or sing, I'm not that kind of person who sings and dances. When I grow up I want to be a director because it's fun, and I make little movies when I'm at my house with cousins and friends and different things."
