Michael Jackson explained about his son’s unusual nickname in an interview.

“It’s an expression I use with my family and my employees…you should blanket me, you should blanket her with something—meaning, like, a blanket is a blessing. It’s a way of us showing our love and caring.”

In 2002, Michael Jackson received outrage after he dangled 9-month-old Blanket over the edge of a balcony of Adlon Hotel in Berlin.
