Bigi, formally known as Blanket and born Prince Michael Jackson II, was on his grandmother’s side until a judge rejected their initial objections to the undisclosed deal.

Earlier this week, Bigi submitted legal docs to argue that Katherine should have to pay for her own legal bills. In his filing, he said it would be “unfair” to force him and his siblings, who are heirs to the estate, to pay for that case.

Bigi is Michael’s youngest son and the younger brother of Prince and Paris. He was born via surrogate in 2002.

He was previously under the guardianship of Katherine, but she surrendered her role to Bigi’s older cousin, Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson, in 2017. They held joint guardianship up until that point.

“Katherine is no longer needed to fulfill the duties that were necessary when joint-guardians were appointed,” her court request read.

“Given her own age [87] and the fact that [Blanket] is now 15 years old, Katherine feels that TJ is able to assume all necessary responsibilities of the guardianship for the Minor Child.”

Bigi has generally remained out of the spotlight but made a rare television appearance in 2021 to educate people on climate change.
