Michael Jackson's father has been reportedly accused of being the dad of the singer's alleged love child.
The claim will make singer Brandon Howard a brother of Jackson.
A source in the US said "I've been hearing for years that Brandon is Joe's son."
Howard, the love child of late music icon was born after his mother Miki, 53, who was managed by Joe, 85, hooked up, Daily Star reported.
The shock claim was made after Howard was asked to provide a DNA sample for a TV documentary, and the DNA sample test allegedly revealed a 99.9999 per cent match to Michael.
The new controversy has the Jackson family fearing that Howard is trying to get his hands on a slice of Michael's estate, which earns 360-million-pound-a-year.
Howard posted an online clip after the claims saying that he never self-proclaimed to be Jackson's son and is definitely not suing the estate.
