Rumors about the paternity of Michael Jackson’s children have been circulating for years, and they’ve occasionally served as a major source of stress for his family.
There have even been reports that Paris Jackson’s 2013 suicide attempt was triggered by her realization that Michael is not her father. Paris’ brother Prince, however, seems genuinely unconcerned about the identity of his biological dad.
TMZ reports that a Twitter user recently raised the question of Prince’s paternity by tweeting at the 18-year-old, “Everyone knows you are a Rowe-Klein, NOT a Jackson!”
The names refer to Prince’s mother, Debbie Rowe, and Dr. Arnold Klein – a man who has long been rumored to be his father.
Rather than telling the troll off or simply ignoring the comment, Prince responded in curious fashion, tweeting, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb…I was raised by my dad with my brother and sister.”
Some are saying that that’s Prince’s way of confirming that he and his siblings are not Michael’s kids.
We wouldn’t go quite that far, but we will say that it seems as though Prince is very aware of the possibility that he’s not biologically a Jackson.
We have no way of knowing when he began having doubts, but we like to think he knew something was up the first time he attempted to moonwalk.
