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.
“The fact that @JanelleMonae is so classless now and attacking @JanetJackson brother Michael Jackson who has been dead over 15 years is pathetic and sad. Janelle I hope you never have to face his sister now because what you did was sick and evil and you know it!” wrote one X user.
“Not sure what made @JanelleMonae think it was a good idea to re-enact a low point in Michael Jackson’s career 22 years after it happened and 15 years after his death,” added another.
“Janelle Monàe lost all my respect today. Ain’t nothing funny about that. LET MICHAEL JACKSON REST IN PEACE,” tweeted a third person.

Page Six has reached out to reps for both Monáe and the Jackson estate for comment but did not immediately hear back.

While the baby hung over the edge as shocked fans watched on, his face was hidden with a blanket.The “Thriller” singer later apologized for the incident, saying he “would never intentionally endanger the lives” of his children.
Jackson died in June 2009 from cardiac arrest, caused by a lethal combination of sedatives and propofol.
