HE AIN’T FEELING IT! MJ Impersonator Is Sick Watching Michael Jackson’s Nephew Take His Spot On ‘Michael’ Trailer
That’s been one of the most talked-about reactions online lately — the Michael Jackson impersonator who clearly wasn’t vibing with the new “Michael” movie teaser.
When the first clips of Jaafar Jackson — Michael’s real-life nephew — hit the internet, fans were buzzing with excitement. The resemblance, the voice, the mannerisms — everything seemed on point. But when a well-known MJ impersonator watched the teaser, his face told a different story. He didn’t have to say a word; the internet noticed everything. The comments section blew up instantly, with viewers saying things like, “He looks jealous,” and “He’s mad they picked the real nephew instead of him.”
To be fair, it’s understandable why he might feel some type of way. For years, impersonators have carried the legacy — performing, touring, and keeping Michael’s image alive. Then suddenly, a major Hollywood production comes along with the Jackson family’s blessing, and all eyes shift toward Jaafar. For an impersonator who’s built a career around that identity, it might feel like the spotlight got snatched overnight.
Still, the impersonator hasn’t officially commented, which might be the smartest move. Sometimes silence says more than a statement ever could. The internet can twist anything into drama, and if he’s truly a fan of MJ, he probably knows Michael himself was all about love, art, and grace — not jealousy or competition.
Regardless of the reactions, one thing’s clear: the “Michael” biopic is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated music films in years. And if Jaafar really delivers the way the teaser suggests, this could be the moment that redefines how the world remembers the King of Pop — not just through impersonations, but through family.
