Paris Jackson, daughter of late pop superstar Michael Jackson, has rubbished claims that an impersonator sang on her father’s latest album release, which hit shelves after the ‘Smooth Criminal’ passed away in 2009.
TMZ wrote earlier in the week that Paris confessed that Jason Malachi sang in place of Michael on the album ‘Michael’, quoting her as saying: “It’s not him [her father]. The whole album isn’t even him. Go online, go on YouTube and look up Jason Malachi. That’s him. I should know if it’s him [Michael Jackson] or not, because he would sing to me all the time.”
But now Paris has responded to the story by posting through her Twitter account, and has accused TMZ of fabricating the claims.
She wrote: “People should know by now not to believe the media when it comes down to TMZ talking about my family. 'Hold My Hand' IS my dad actually singing.” She then went on to re-tweet a message written by a fan which read: “TMZ is the biggest joke in the world, they just make up drama!”
