Janelle Monáe recently faced backlash after posting a video on Instagram that depicted her recreating a controversial moment involving Michael Jackson and his youngest son, Bigi Jackson (formerly known as Blanket). In the video, Monáe, dressed as the late King of Pop, was seen dangling a robotic dog over the balcony of her hotel. The post received mixed reactions from fans, with some finding it humorous while others deemed it disrespectful to Michael Jackson, who passed away in 2009.
Many social media users expressed their disapproval of Monáe's actions, criticizing her for mocking a sensitive moment in Michael Jackson's life. Some fans called her behavior 'pathetic' and 'sick,' urging her to show more respect for the deceased music icon. The incident in question refers to a past event in 2002 when Michael Jackson held his then-9-month-old son, Blanket, over a balcony in Berlin, which sparked controversy at the time.
