He has made a new video titled Life Is A Movie (Life is a movie) and dedicated it to “the biggest teacher and source of inspiration” — Michael Jackson. In this video, he dresses like Michael in the This Is It style, dances like him, and is also inspired by one of Michael’s video scenes—You Are Not Alone. download it.

An excerpt from the lyrics of this song is as follows:

“The bigger the star, the bigger the target (for exploitation and hostility)” / “You can’t stain this legacy” / “This is a real life, not a TV movie” / “You wanted to see me fall” / “The media should have left him alone”... Clearly, this song is a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Elsewhere, he says about himself: “I found my way to the King’s palace (Neverland) from nowhere” / “I’ve been trained by the greatest (a hint at Michael)! I promise” / “To be honest, I’m proud.”

Besides that, at the beginning of the song, you will hear a part of Michael’s song They Don’t Care About Us: Sue me - Do me (Chase me - trick me).

But who is Omer Bhatti? After Michael’s death, he sat in the front row next to the Jackson family at Michael’s memorial ceremony held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This is what led the media to create rumors that he was Michael’s secret child and that his mother had been Michael’s lover.

Omer first met Michael when he was 12 years old, in 1996, in Tunisia. He and his family had come to travel, and Michael was also in the middle of his History Tour. Omer dressed like Michael and danced like him. Michael became fascinated with him and gave him the nickname “Little Michael.” Their relationship began right there. Michael invited Omer, his mother, father, and sister to Neverland, and they lived there for 8 years. During Michael’s trips around the world, Omer also traveled with him, and Michael placed great importance on educating and training him.

Some time after Michael’s death, as rumors grew, Omer announced that he was not Michael’s real son and that the King of Pop had made him his “honorary son.” When Prince, Michael’s first child, was born in 1997, Omer’s mother worked in Neverland as a nurse, and his husband had also become a driver for Neverland. Prince and Paris were raised with Omer and consider him their older brother. Paris introduces him as her brother on Twitter.

After Michael’s death, Omer stayed alongside Michael’s children to accompany them through this difficult period.

Omer, who currently lives in Norway, says that Michael always told him that he loved him like his own son:

“Michael always told me that I was like his son to him. But my real parents live in Norway. The reason I was invited to sit next to the Jackson family during the memorial ceremony was because I was Michael’s closest friend—not because I was his son.”

After some time following Michael’s death, he had said: “Michael was a special person to me, and I can’t believe he’s gone. I’m completely shocked. I’ve lost weight. I can’t eat anything, and all I can think about is Michael Jackson.”

Although Omer hadn’t met Michael for a while, during Michael’s stay in London he was counting the days to see him again and spend time with him. He had told a friend that he planned to attend all 50 of his concerts (This Is It 2009).

Omer’s mother said that Michael’s death shattered her son.

In 2001, Michael dedicated his Invincible song from an album of the same name to Benjamin, a 15-year-old Norwegian-African boy who was murdered in Oslo in January of that year by a neo-Nazi group. It is said that part of this gesture was influenced by the fact that Omer and Benjamin were friends.

It is also worth noting that Omer changed his name, taking inspiration from Michael Jackson, to Omer Michael J Bhatti.
