Digital Phablet – Fabio Jackson, a well-known internet personality famous for impersonating the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, recently shared a video on Instagram addressing rumors about his supposedly “salty” reaction to the teaser for the “Michael” biopic.
Many social media users suggested that Fabio appeared noticeably “salty” and jealous of Jaafar Jackson’s portrayal in the teaser. In response, Fabio posted a new video where he denied these rumors, adding that Jaafar’s voice resembles that of his uncle.
It’s important to note that 29-year-old Jaafar Jackson is Machel Jackson’s nephew. He debuted with his single “Got Me Singing” in 2019 and is set to make his film debut in the upcoming 2026 “Michael” biopic.
The rumors sparked after Fabio’s quiet response to the teaser, with many interpreting his expression as jealousy, especially because Jaafar was cast in the role instead of him.
