Michael Jackson 's youngest son Blanket, who is known as Bigi, is seemingly at war with his grandmother Katherine Jackson amid a dispute over his father's estate.
The 22-year-old, the third child of the King of Pop, is reported to have filed legal papers to stop his grandmother, his father's mother, from using his father's estate funds to fund an appeal of a previous ruling. This comes after he made a rare appearance earlier this month in Los Angeles, looking more grown up than ever.
According to reports, Blanket and his grandmother "were recently working together to stop the executors of [Michael] Jackson's estate from going through with a huge business transaction that they were very much so against". The outlet states that the documents do not say what the transaction was, but added: "Based on recent reporting, it seems like it may be related to the deal the estate made with Sony to sell about half of Michael's music catalog for $600M."

But now Katherine has decided to appeal the ruling, and Blanket doesn't agree, nor does he want his father's estate paying for her legal bills.

The outlet also reports that in the documents, Blanket says he doesn't think appealing the case "truly benefits the beneficiaries of the trust", and doesn't believe that his father's estate should pay for it. He has also asked the court to use its best judgment to grant his grandmother "reasonable attorney's fees incurred from the pre-appeal battle", according to the latest report.

Last June, in documents filed to the court, it was stated that Blanket had hoped to keep his position under wraps, with the legal matter maintaining "confidentiality". According to reports, the documents stated that Blanket "is a very private person and may have said nothing if he knew that his words or positions could become public," noting: "That, in turn, would have denied the trial court of the ability to hear and consider all aspects of the proposed action."
Bigi 'Blanket' Jackson is the youngest of three children. His older siblings are Prince Jackson, 27, and Paris Jackson, 25. Bigi was known as Blanket for most of his childhood, but a few years ago he started going by Bigi, despite being born Prince Michael Jackson II.
