This week, the news of the King of Pop Michael Jackson's alleged son visiting Pakistan made rounds.

A video that went viral features a montage of B Howard’s interviews and performance footage and introduced him as the next Michael Jackson. It ended by stating the he will soon be in Pakistan. And he's finally here!

Sources close to Howard share that the multi-platinum producer is in the country for possible collaborations with the local artists. Howard will also shoot a music video here.

"There's a lot more happening than just the music video. Pakistanis are in for a big surprise," a source close to B Howard told The Express Tribune.

The singer has previously worked with the likes of Akon and Ne-Yo.

In 2016, Howard’s single, Don’t Say You Love Me, hit number 11 on Billboard’s Top Dance charts. According to his website, the song Ke Nako, ft. Wyclef Jean, J Pre and Jazmine Sullivan was showcased in Listen Up! The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album.

Discussing his alleged parentage, Howard apparently took a DNA test to prove that he is – after all – MJ lovechild. TMZ ran a report confirming the same and calling him the alleged son.

Howard, later retracted his statement and said, “Number one, I did not call TMZ or anything like that. Didn’t put out a story, nothing. Number two, I’ve never self-proclaimed to be Michael Jackson’s son. Number three, I’m definitely not suing the estate. I’ve been taken care of very well. Number four, it is true I did do a DNA test but it had nothing to do with any of this.”

A couple of days after Howard went on record with his statements regarding his parentage, the famous singer, Akon talked about the same. “I’ve known B for such a long time, and there’s always been this thing about how similar his mannerisms are and how close he resembles Michael Jackson,” Akon told BET.com. “From the speaking to everything, there was always that question there.”

The Locked Up singer added that no matter what’s revealed, he thinks the press Howard’s been getting is good for his career. “We don’t have full proof of everything just yet, but as it opens up, depending on conversations with B Howard, we’ll determine [what he wants to reveal] at that moment,” noted Akon. “As for now, it works for him because it promotes him and then when the records come out, they’ll overshadow all the media attention with all the talent that he has.”
