Michael Jackson’s Dad Speaks Out At BET Awards
Michael Jackson’s father Joe spoke publicly for the first time since his son’s death to CNN’s Don Lemon at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (June 28). Joe said that while he couldn’t talk about the circumstances surrounding the King of Pop’s passing, he was suspicious. “I can’t get into that,” Jackson said. “But I don’t like what happened.”
As for the love that has been showered towards Michael after a long period of media scrutiny, Joe wished it could have been displayed a little earlier. “I wish the world had recognized him when he were living…. But right now he’s bigger than ever right now,” Joe said. “I wish he were here to see all this, to hear all this.” Watch the interview below.

This man should be ashamed of himself, no wonder his children split and no longer the Jackson 5, His son is dead and all he can do is promote his record company AT HIS SON’S EXPENSE, it truly saddens me that he would do say such a thing, GREED GREED GREED GREED.
