Michael Jackson’s youngest son Blanket ‘Bigi’ Jackson is Ina complex legal battle with his grandmother Katherine. The son is taking steps to block his grannie to use Michael’s estate money to fund an appeal of a previous ruling.
Bigi Jackson, 22, formerly known as Blanket, filed the document with court earlier this week, TMZ reported.
Michael Jackson Estate Updates
It’s the latest update in a legal battle over the Beat It singer’s estate nearly 15 years after the June 25, 2009 death.
Bigi’s new move comes in contrast to recent efforts on legal fronts, according to the outlet, as Blanket and Katherine had been in sync amid ongoing family efforts focused toward issues circulating through the court system.
While the legal docs TMZ reviewed did not identify the specific issue on hand, but, recent report gives clue that it may be related to the deal the estate made with Sony to sell about half of Michael’s music catalog for $600M.

Why Blanket Doesn’t Want Katherine to Have Her Way
Blanket explains he and his grandmother presented their arguments opposing the deal but then the court ruled against them bringing the legal issue to a close, the outlet reported.
However, Katherine’s decision to appeal the ruling is what Blanket is against as he feels the appeal will not be a successful one and doesn’t want to depreciate the value of the estate with expensive legal bills.
Since he’s an heir to the estate, he has a lot to protect, the cash and some properties.
