Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine has vowed to welcome Omer Bhatti into the Jackson clan if he proves to be the singer's fourth child.
The 25-year-old Norwegian rapper sat in the front row with the Jackson family at the singer's memorial service in Los Angeles two weeks ago.

Jermaine Jackson said he wasn't yet sure whether Omer, said to have been the result of a one-night stand, was his brother's son. But if he was a Jackson, he would be treated exactly the same as Michael's three younger children, he said.



'If Omer's his son, he's his son,' Jermaine declared yesterday.
'We won't deny it. We are going to give him the same love and care that we give Prince and Paris and and Blanket. I can't clearly say if he is Michael's but I saw this kid around him.'
Jermaine said Omer, who as a child looked remarkably like Jackson's seven-year-old son Blanket, was moved to the family seats at the memorial service by Jackson's eldest sister Rebbie. She wanted him closer to their mother, Katherine.
'My sister went and got him during the service and got him to sit closer to my mother,' Jermaine saidfind out whether Jackson was his father.


In dark sunglasses and a black suit, he looked just like a member of the family as he bowed his head while listening to tributes to the King of Pop at the July 7 service.
His appearance at the memorial and his physical similarities to Blanket, has fuelled speculation that he is the son of the legendary star.
Omer has remained in LA since Michael's death and has been playing with the Jackson children at the family compound in Encino, California.If he is a Jackson, Omer would be the oldest of Michael's four children, joining Prince Michael, 12, Paris Michael, 11, and Blanket (Prince Michael II) seven.


The Thriller singer reportedly told close friends several years ago that he fathered Omer after a one-night stand with a Norwegian fan in 1984.
Omer's family, who live in the Norwegian capital Oslo, refused to rule out the possibility he is a Jackson.
