The Kid Is Not My Son

Sixteen years before the birth of his first child, Prince Michael I, Michael Jackson released Billie Jean, a song in which the singer claims he is not the father of a child at the center of a paternity suit.

This song is available on:

Ironically, in 1985, three years after the release of the record, Jackson was involved in a paternity suit brought against him by Lavon Muhammad who claimed to be his wife and the mother of his children.

The "King Of Pop" now has four children, Prince Michael I, Paris, Prince Michael II and an infant known to the world only as "Blanket." When the children are in public, Jackson has them wear masks to hide their identities "for their protection." Except for Blanket, whom Michael hides beneath a blanket and dangles over hotel balconies.

Billie Jean was released on Jackson's "Thriller" album. The song's video gave us the first glimpse of Jackson's trademark "Moonwalk" and the "white glove."

The Billie Jean video was also the first video by a black artist played on MTV. This was, of course, before Jackson became the pale-faced ghoul we see today.
