Ever since the beloved Jackson family patriarch, Joe Jackson (89), passed away on June 27, 2018, from pancreatic cancer, millions of people have been commenting about him on social media. Many are paying homage to the man who shaped the most influential musical family ever, while others have flooded his kids’ and grandkids’ social media timelines with negative comments about him. *Scroll down for video*
Being the offspring of such a profound music icon, like Joe, his loved ones are accustomed to the hate. However, as we all know, everyone has a tipping point and that time has now come for Michael Jackson’s 21 year old son, Michael “Prince” Jackson. Typically, Prince is the more laid back Jackson kid, who very rarely allows the countless backlash, lies, rumors, etc. bother him. After all, that’s the only life he knows, as the son of the most talked about greatest entertainer of all time.

After Joe’s passing, many people have been bashing him online for his stern methods of grooming his children into stars back in the day. Their accusing him of physical abuse for whipping his children when they disobeyed him, or for making them rehearse for hours when they were kids. Now, Prince has a few choice words for all of his granddaddy’s naysayers. In one of his recent video vlog, he addressed the situation in the realest way possible:

“One of the things I’m gonna talk about today is my grandpa and what you f*cks got to say about it,” said Prince. “So y’all can keep talkin’ all the sh*t that you want, saying that he abused my dad and all this…and I’m gon’ make a Youtube video about it for sho.’ But, he raised these kids right, otherwise they would’ve been in gangs or fuc*in’ dead,” he continued. Then came Prince’s classic ending. “So go ahead, keep talkin’ sh*t, but you won’t EVER be as great as one of that man’s balls in his nut sack.”
And BOOM! That’s how you drop a mic and exit stage left! You better tell ’em Prince Jackson…MJ would be SO proud!
Michael “Prince” Jackson may be the son of a ‘king,’ but he’s known for being a very humble, down to earth dude, who never boasts about his iconic family and prefers living as ‘normal’ of a life as possible. But even the most humble brotha can step outside of character to put haters in check when need-be. That’s clearly what he’s just done, by cussin’ the ever-lovin’ HELL outta his grandfather’s haters…and shuttin’ them down while at it. Good for you Prince!
By the way, in spite of all of the negativity, like his other family members, Prince, still found time to pay a beautiful tribute to his late grandpa online. He and his cousins affectionately refer to Joe as “the Hawk,” and here is what he said about him:

“This man is and always will be an example of sheer willpower and dedication. He didn’t choose the path that was the easiest but he choose the path that was best for his family. You taught me to take pride in the Jackson name and what it really means, you taught me dedication in the face of adversity and most of all you showed me strength and fearlessness. There is and never will be someone like you. Fly free and until we meet again The Hawk.”
Rest on Joe Jackson.
