London, November 08 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s father Joseph has denied that he threatened to kill the man who claims to know about the King of Pop’s alleged lovechild.

Ronnie Newt had complained to the court and requested a restraining order against Joseph and his son Randy for allegedly threatening him with his life.

According to TMZ, the pair warned Newt when he approached them with information that apparently proves Michael Jackson has a 12-year-old illegitimate son called Prince Michael Malachi Jet.

Newt has alleged he “was told to stay out of the M.J. love child story. That some one could get kill (sic) for that kind of money.”

Meanwhile, the pop icon’s father has said that he hasn’t met the man for a long period of time.

“I haven’t even seen this guy since the ’80s,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying. (ANI)
