Michael Jackson’s Alleged Son A DNA Match?
Michael Jackson may be gone, but he is not forgotten. Today on TMZ, it was revealed that based on DNA evidence there is a 99.9% probability that Michael Jackson had another son, Brandon Howard. Howard, a 31-year-old singer once praised as the “reincarnation of Michael Jackson” claims he’s more than just a fan of Michael – he claims he’s his son.
According to the test results obtained by Alki David and his company, FilmOn.com, Brandon Howard is almost certainly Michael Jackson’s son. David told TMZ Live he got Jackson’s dental impression from a Beverly Hills doctor that he got at an auction. The impression is 30 years old but David says its filled with DNA. Brandon, who goes by “B Howard” and appears to be a mirror image of Michael, was not present for the unveiling.
There is definitely a connection between Michael Jackson and Brandon’s mother, Micki Howard, that makes this allegation at least credible (outside of the DNA). Micki Howard is a famous gospel singer who Michael knew. Coincidentally, or not, she went by the name “Billy” back in 1982. Shortly thereafter, Michael released Billie Jean, which included the lyrics, “Billie Jean’s not my lover” and “The kid is not my son.”
Jackson estate lawyer, Howard Weitzman told TMZ, “We’ve never even heard from him,” when asked about Howard’s claim. He added that “any deadline for claiming to be Michael’s child has long since passed.”
There had been speculation by many that Howard was Michael Jackson’s son while Jackson was still alive. In a 2011 interview, Howard brushed off a reporter’s pressing that he has “an uncanny, down-right-freaky resemblance” to Michael.
“Who hasn’t been inspired by Michael and the Jackson brothers?” I just do what’s naturally in my heart, and that’s what comes out.”
However, Howard’s father, singer Augie Johnson has declared that he is the real father of Brandon Howard, despite DNA evidence to the contrary. ‘I know Brandon’s my son – I was there in the delivery room, I have the pictures of him being born. I got the records, I got everything.”
“Before me, Miki wasn’t with anyone else – she didn’t even know Michael at that time. But you know what – I love my son and he can do whatever he likes. I’m not tripping on this – I want Brandon to have a successful career.”
Unless the DNA tests turn out to be a hoax of epic proportions, it appears that their may be a new Jackson that no one knew about until today!
Do you believe the claims of Brandon Howard, that he is the son of the late Michael Jackson? Let us know….
