Paris, daughter of world-famous entertainer, Micheal Jackson, had paid tribute to her late father on his 65th posthumous birthday.
The singer, who towed Jackson’s music career path, shared a video via her Instagram stories on Wednesday to wish her father a happy birthday.
According to her, the “Thriller” crooner did not like “anybody acknowledging his birthday” while he was alive. However, she decided to make a video wishing him a happy birthday because social media has become the primary way “people express their love and affection these days”.
“So today is my dad’s birthday, and back when he was alive, he used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday, wishing him a ‘Happy Birthday’, celebrating it — nothing like that.
“He actually didn’t want us to even know when his birthday was, because he didn’t want us to throw a party, or anything like that,” Paris said in the video.
The model further revealed that she had received death threats from overzealous fans in previous years when she did not make posts celebrating the late King of Pop on his posthumous birthday.
