Janelle Monáe deletes video of her recreating Michael Jackson, balcony incident after backlash

Janelle Monáe deleted a video of her recreating Michael Jackson hanging his youngest son, Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, over a balcony.

The “Lipstick Lover” singer, who is currently on tour in Europe, posted the parody clip on Instagram Tuesday and swiftly received backlash.

In the post, Monáe, who was dressed as the late King of Pop in a red shirt and a short black wig, dangled a robotic dog over the balcony of her hotel.

While some fans thought the video was in jest, others believed it was disrespectful to mock Michael, who died at age 50 in June 2009, at such a “low point” in his life.
