As Michael Jackson<\/a><\/strong> would say, it’s a family thing. <\/p>\n

The late singer’s youngest son<\/a> Blanket Jackson<\/strong> made a rare public appearance<\/a> this weekend to celebrate his brother Prince Jackson<\/a><\/strong>at his graduation from Loyola Marymount University. There, the siblings posed for photos, which features a giddy Prince clad his cap and gown and throwing up a peace sign.<\/p>\n

“<\/span>I met so many people and learned so much that the experience alone is worth it,” the newly minted college grad, 22, captioned the shot on Instagram. “Honestly I can’t tell you if all of it was worth it yet but I am proud of my degree as I believe it is a testament to my dedication and discipline. I’m thankful for LMUs education of a whole person and the implementation of Jesuit values because I believe they inspire graduates like me to continue to change the world for the better.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While his brother and his sister Paris Jackson<\/a><\/strong> have begun to embrace the spotlight, Blanket, 17, has rarely been seen in public since his father died in 2009<\/a>. The teen, born Prince Michael Jackson II, attends a private school in L.A. and is under the guardianship of his cousin T.J<\/strong>. Jackson<\/strong>. (All three kids were under the care of their grandmother<\/a>, Katherine Jackson<\/a><\/strong>, until 2017.)<\/p>\n

To fans, perhaps his most memorable moment was when, at just 9-months-old, he was held over the railing of a balcony by his dad. Though Michael was just trying to show off his son, whose face was covered by a towel, the moment caused outrage\u2014and even the plot of a 2003 Law & Order<\/em> episode.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I offer no excuses for what happened,” he later said in a statement. “I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children.”<\/p>\n

The “Thriller” singer has come under fire more recently following HBO’s two-part documentary, Leaving Neverland<\/em>. The explosive special features interviews with Wade Robson<\/strong> and James Safechuck<\/strong>, who accuse the singer of sexually abusing them. <\/p>\n

Michael’s estate has denied all of the allegations<\/a> and has publicly slammed the project. Jackie Jackson<\/strong> previously told E! News<\/em> that the claims have devastated<\/a> the King of Pop’s children. “They are going through some troubling times,” he shared. “It’s painful for them.” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
