Joe Jackon passed away earlier this week after a terminal cancer diagnosis. The father of the late Michael Jackson was the man who started the careers of the Jackson family, managing them into mega-success and is to be credited for their legacy that lives on today. Unfortunately, there are some dark accusations against Joe that has tainted his own legacy as previous reports say he physically abused Michael and his brothers as well as allegedly sexually abusing his daughters.

For 21-year-old Prince Jackson (Michael’s son) he doesn’t care about Joe’s past and he wants you to put some respect on his grandfather’s name. In a new video of Prince, he tells viewers he’ll soon be uploading a full explanation of his feels on YouTube but in the meantime, keep talking. “Y’all can keep talking all the shit you want saying he abused my dad and all this,” he says in the video below. “But he raised these kids right, otherwise they would have been in gangs or fucking dead.”

Adding: “So go ahead, keep talking shit but you won’t ever be as great as one of that mans fucking balls in his nuts – just remember that.”

Drake’s much-awaited new album Scorpion was finally released today, and the LP arrives with some pretty interesting collaborations. In addition to guest features from Jay-Z, Ty Dolla $ign, and Static Major, the release includes a posthumous appearance from Michael Jackson. According to TMZ, Drake’s “Don’t Matter to Me” is built around a unreleased Jackson song, with the Toronto vocalist crooning over moody synth pads and soft drum rhythm from producers Nineteen85 and Noah “40” Shebib.

The track also credits fellow Canadian Paul Anka as a co-writer and guest vocalist. Anka has worked with Jackson in the past, notably on the original 1983 version of “Love Never Felt So Good,” where Anka played piano.

-Prince Jackson on Instagram : 

“This man is and always will be an example of sheer willpower and dedication. He didn’t choose the path that was the easiest but he choose the path that was best for his family. You taught me to take pride in the Jackson name and what it really means, you taught me dedication in the face of adversity and most of all you showed me strength and fearlessness. There is and never will be someone like you. Fly free and until we meet again The Hawk.”

I am extremely appreciative of that, I will never forget the last moments we spent together and how you told me how much you cared, how proud you were of me and how much you loved me! I am most grateful for that!
I will never forget when security and the nurses kept telling me you said my daughter La Toya is coming to visit me today, I want to look good for her, dress me up put my teeth in, it made me feel so good Joseph! I smiled and I cried all the way home.
I love you! #RIP Joe Jackson”

-Stevanna Jackson on Instagram

“There’ll never be another one like you. Rest in paradise. heaven is lucky to have you. I will not mourn you. You gave me so much to celebrate, so many memories of joy, and laughter, and love, that I refuse to mourn you. Over the last decade, you gave me the fatherly love that I never otherwise had. You gave me your time. Your ear. Your heart. You showed me what it is to be cared for, and looked after. I told you on Monday and I’ll say it again, I can’t begin to convey how lucky I am that I was able to share that with you. I will miss you tremendously— you were one of the funniest people who’s ever walked this earth. But while I will feel your absence, I am happy that you have been freed from your pain. I’ve never known anyone who loved life as much as you did, even up until the very last moment. And for that reason, I won’t cry for you today. I will celebrate you, celebrate your life, and celebrate the love you bestowed upon me. I love you grandpa. I’m still your chicken in the fight.”

-Asa Soltan on Instagram : 

“Rest In Peace Joseph. Your strength and determination with Grandma’s Love changed the world forever and eternity. You will be missed greatly. ❤️🙏🏽❤️ #TheHawk*Anyone who wants to leave disrespectful comments about a man you don’t really know personally who just passed, remember that this is Soltan’s great grandfather. Have some respect.”

-Taryll Jackson on Instagram : 

“A few weeks ago on Father’s Day I posted a picture of my great grandfather, my grandfather, my father and me as a child for Father’s Day. “The love never ends.” At the time I had no idea of my Grandpa Joe’s condition, but would find out a couple days later. I was told there wasn’t much time. To be honest, I don’t deal well with funerals, sickness and death. I’m very sensitive and tend to avoid these situations. Something I am working on. I wanted to be there with my grandfather, to thank him and spend some final moments, but I also didn’t want to see him weak, and have that be my lasting memory of him. And then I thought about the time when I was a very young boy and I saw my great grandfather Samuel before his passing. Although vague, I have that memory of him. So I decided to give my children that same opportunity with their great grandfather. Looking back I am so happy I did.
My own father, who shares the same struggles as I do with loss, also found the strength and courage and made the trip. Because of this I was able to have a moment with my father, my grandfather and my two sons. As a man and father it was very powerful, moving and touching. I could see both strength and sadness in my father’s eyes. My father told my sons, when they get older to tell their children about his father. And explained how we all had the same blood running through our veins. From Grandpa Joe, to my father, to me, to my two boys.
The photo above was taken a day before my father arrived. I got to spend some time with just my grandfather and my two boys. I thanked him for his strength and vision and for giving my father a better life… thus giving me and my children a better life and opportunity. I told him what he did with his family is amazing. I told him that I am proud of him and that I loved him.

My Grandfather passed away early this morning…. but we will carry him in our hearts, the blood will continue to flow in our veins and the love will never end.

-TJ Jackson on Instagram : 

“You did the unthinkable. You gave your all (and the prime years of your life) to make sure your kids and your family were a success. Some people will never understand the commitment and love it takes to do what you did. My life could have been so much different if it weren’t for you. I could have been in a gang. I could have a father who was in and out of jail. But I don’t. Why? Because you were plugged into your kids lives and saw a dream that they (or even the world) didn’t know could exist. It took all of your strength to keep your entire family safe from the real dangers in life. You are misjudged but I know who the real you is. And as your grandson I am forever grateful for the strength I have from you. I will always remember what I’ve learned from you. I will always cherish you. Always. I love you grandpa. ❤️💪🏽 #ripgrandpa #forevergrateful#pioneer”

-Toyia Jackson on Instagram :

“when @officialsiggyjackson first took me to meet you , a major life key you gave me was to always be confident and let people know that you know exactly who you are. Rest in light grandpa Jackson. I see where my husband gets some of his core ways between you and his dad #cutfromadifferentcloth #❤️”

-Joh’Vonnie Jackson on Instagram : 

“Good People at 2:55 AM June 27th 2018 my Daddy departed this evil world. Im so glad I was there until the end. I had a bed right next to his. Constantly watching him and only breaking away to catch up on a few things at my home. He never had a moment alone. He was always surrounded by family. I cant even begin to tell you the strength my Dad possessed. More than anything I am so greatful to have been able to hold his hand and kiss his face while he began to transition. In the end I kept feeling like I was stupid for thinking it would be easy for me because there would be nomore suffering for him. Im here to tell you THERE IS NOTHING HARDER! Thank you to all my Good People for keeping my Dad and our family in your prayers. I will truly miss him. Allah thank you for keeping the evil doers away from my father and our family during this time🌹”

-Jaafar Jackson on Instagram : 

“The start of it all. Rest In Peace grandpa I love you”

BMI is proud to announce that multiplatinum superstar Janet Jackson will be named a BMI Icon at the 2018 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards.  The event will be held Thursday, August 30, at The Woodruff Arts Center’s Symphony Hall in Atlanta, and will be hosted by BMI President & CEO Mike O’Neill and BMI Vice President Creative (Atlanta), Catherine Brewton.

“As one of the most influential entertainers of all time, Janet Jackson’s artistry and music transcends generations and has inspired many with messages of empowerment that can be heard throughout her rich catalog of music,” said Brewton. “She is the definition of an icon, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor.”

Jackson joins an elite group of recipients who have received BMI’s Icon Award for their “unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.” Past recipients have included Patti LaBelle, Nile Rodgers, James Brown, Snoop Dogg and Al Green, among others.

Throughout her groundbreaking career, she’s sold more than 160 million records worldwide, scored seven No. 1 albums, and is the only artist in Billboard’s history to have three different albums— Control, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 and janet.—each produce five or more top ten hits on the Hot 100 chart. Jackson is also one of only four artists, alongside Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and U2, to have earned No. 1 albums in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.

She has received two Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination, and garnered six GRAMMY Awards, along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards, including this year’s Billboard Icon Award, which was her first televised performance in nine years. With no signs of slowing down, Jackson has a series of upcoming summer performances that kick off July 8 in New Orleans at the ESSENCE Festival and go through August 12 in San Francisco at the Outside Lands Music Festival.

Joe Jackson — the music manager and father of 11, including singer Janet Jackson and the late Michael Jackson — has been hospitalized with terminal cancer, TMZ reports.

The 89-year-old Jackson family patriarch has been battling the illness “for some time,” the outlet says, but is “at the end stages” and “the cancer cannot be treated.”

Family, including wife Katherine, has been at his bedside, sources tell TMZ. Jackson’s children and grandchildren have also made visits.

On Wednesday, son Jermaine told the Daily Mail, “He’s very, very frail, he doesn’t have long. The family needs to be by his bedside – that’s our only intention in his final days.”

Reps for Jackson, as well as various Jackson relatives, did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Jackson last posted a video of himself on June 6, explaining that he was at Jamba Juice — where his son Michael’s music happened to be playing — and was struggling to choose what to order. “So many choices to select from,” he wrote. “With my son Michael’s music playing in the background. I wanna be starting .. drinking all three.”
