Growing up as the kid of one of the most famous superstars in the world carries a lot of weight. Michael Jackson’s youngest son certainly found it a burden, hence his decision in 2015 to change his name to Bigi Jackson. He’s never publicly spoken about why he changed his name. But then, he rarely gives interviews and seldom appears at events unless he’s supporting Prince or Paris Jackson.

One thing’s for sure: Bigi has no desire to follow in his family’s footsteps and pursue an entertainment career. And he definitely isn’t seeking any fame, hence his low profile and lack of social media accounts. However, in a rare interview, Bigi did offer a glimpse into his future aspirations, and it’s all about making an impact in the world and keeping his father’s legacy alive by “making things that people enjoy but also benefit their lives,” which he told “Good Morning America” in November 2021.
