Michael Jackson's fans have slammed the DNA test, which claims that he fathered a secret son.

One of the 'Thriller' hitmaker's fan took to Twitter saying that Jackson's lovechild story was starting to feel like a hoax, while another user wondered when all the drama surrounding the singer was going to end, the Mirror reported.

Another social media user said that why would Jackson, who loved kids, wouldn't claim his own son but had Debbie Rowe carry two of his children.

Brandon Howard, the son of singer Mika Howard, whom Joe Jackson represented back in 1980s, underwent paternity tests which reportedly revealed that he had a 99.9999 per cent match to the King of Pop.

Howard said that he didn't authorize the testing of his DNA to be compared to that of Jackson and he had never claimed to be his son nor he has any intention of pursuing the family's estate.
