Check this video out of the music group, AKNU:You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginIn my opinion, they are definitely channeling MJ in their singing, dancing, and even the songwriting. Check out their Youtube page and you'll see they are definitely inspired by MJ and Motown.Earlier this year, AKNU performed at the Saviours Day Concert, which is an annual convention and holiday celebrated by the Nation of Islam (NOI).You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginDuring this convention, they also screened a documentary titled, "Let's Change the World," which chronicles the life of Louis Farrakhan's (current leader of NOI) life through music. It just so happens that the documentary was directed by Michael Amir, who was MJ's personal assistant before his 'death.'You are not allowed to view links.

When you watch their music video, you'll see that it was directed by Thirsty Guerilla Films. This production company also directed a commercial for the NOI (link below):You are not allowed to view links.

MJ has had a long history with the Nation of Islam, using them for security and even as advisors (Louis Farrakhan's son-in-law, Leonard Muhammad, had briefly advised MJ at the end of 2003 to the beginning of 2004).I've always had a hunch that if MJ is alive, he is with the NOI. After following NOI-related social media accounts I find a lot of their followers are also musicians, especially hip hop and R&B artists (most not at all famous, though). I just find this connection interesting. A part of me feels that MJ may be behind this group AKNU.

I just can't stop thinking of MJ when I watch them dance in this video. It could just be this video alone. Did you see how one of them was wearing white socks when they jumped into the pool? I love that reference. I'm sure the group is also trying to include their own style while also showing influences of both Motown and MJ. Perhaps that's why it may not be the same Motown standard from back then. I'm not a huge Bruno Mars fan, so I had to look up some of his performances online. From what I saw, I don't feel he actually dances (at least not in a choreographed manner like these guys). Probably because he plays the guitar a lot while he's performing and his band is usually standing with him. I mean, I've seen him do the James Brown and/or thrust his pelvis and that's about it.
I have the hardest time finding anything on Faheem Muhammad. I've only found a Twitter account that follows both Farrakhan and Michael Amir, but that's about it. I can't even prove if these accounts are even real. I believe he is also NOI, just by association. Weren't there other security guards from the night-shift that never went to trial? I'd like to research more about them.
I have finally revisited the two video selections of AKNU. And ran across this one You are not allowed to view links.

I got a better sense of their charisma. Particularly after my viewing their tribute to MJ, I clearly understand what you see. So now that you have my undivided attention on AKNU and their likeness to MJ, what are you thinking?
And since we are on the topic of AKNU, I found that they have covered two songs originally performed by the Beatles, Yesterday and All You Need is Love, that I suspect are a part of MJ's music catalogue. Here is the link... You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginThoughts?
I checked the biography of Paris Jackson on IMDb. Since she is Prince's sibling, she must have the same cousins. But in her bio Ghaddafi is not mentioned. I don't thinks those kids have anything to do with him.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
