In the interview, he reveals meeting Graham King and working on a biopic about his father. He claimed that King knew Jackson and wanted to make a film on the life of the ‘King of Pop.’ However, the documentary has not yet been released. There are a few reasons for the documentary being delayed. The pandemic, which put a pause on so many projects, is definitely one of them.

In addition, he claimed the documentary exposed him to many intriguing things about his life and the same requires adequate time to process. In the interview, he states, “It’s been a while. Obviously, the pandemic, right, messed up everybody’s schedule, but I think I met Graham in like 2017 or 18. From there we’ve just been continuously having conversations and more and more pieces of the puzzle get put in there.”

Prince seems to be okay with the biopic taking its time, as he hopes to make sure they get everything just right. It is definitely a project that is very close to his heart. In fact, when he first read the script, he had a very emotional reaction.
