Michael Jackson might have been a strange guy, but some of his family
members are every bit as odd. Just months after the deceased pop star’s
mother was at the center of an alleged kidnapping scandal, MJ’s brother
Jermaine has filed a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior
Court to change his name… to
Jermaine Jacksun.
The former Jackson 5 member hasn’t spoken publically about why he despises the “o” in his name so much, but according to TMZ,
the fifty-seven-year-old listed “artistic reasons” in the court papers
as the catalyst for his decision. It’s unclear what the hell that could
possibly even mean, but when it comes to the Jackson family, sometimes
it’s better to just accept things at face value without pushing the
issue too much.
A hearing has officially been set for a judge to hear out Jermaine as to
why he needs to be a Jacksun. Even if his request is granted, the
entire process will take quite awhile so he can officially inform the
public about the impending swap via newspaper ads and other mediums.
