Paris Jackson gave a sarcastic “f–k you” to the critics who are slamming her for scheduling a performance gig on the anniversary of father Michael Jackson’s death.

“So, people are mad again,” the singer began a series of videos shared to her Instagram Stories on Friday. “One of the tour dates I’m supposed to be going out on tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra happens to be June 25, which is a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family.”

On Wednesday, June 25, the musician is scheduled to perform at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The date coincidentally falls on the 16-year anniversary of her dad’s death. The pop icon died at age 50 on June 25, 2009 after suffering a heart attack caused by a drug overdose.

“So, what I guess I have to explain to these people is that when you’re first of three, and you’re not headlining these shows, you don’t pick what date you perform or what time you go on stage to perform, or what city you perform in,” she continued, adding that the decision was made by the “big boss” headliner.

Paris also noted that she won’t be getting any preferential treatment or luxury accommodations due to her supporting role in the tour.

“First of three also doesn’t get a tour bus. You get maybe a sprinter van, which I’ve done before when I’ve got a band with me. But I’m not going to have my band with me this time,” she said.

“It’s just me and my acoustic guitar and my sound guy, who happens to be my fiancé,” she added, referring to Justin Long, whom she confirmed her engagement to in December 2024. “So we’re gonna be in a soccer mom van.”

Paris, 27, further explained how her contribution to the tour does not guarantee her any favoritism as she recalled her previous experience touring with the band being “one of the hardest f–king things” she’s ever done.

“Also, why the f–k would I make a big fuss about it?” she asked, noting that the whole reason why she wound up on the tour was because she pitched herself as an additional opening act.

“This feels like [Incubus is] doing me a favor by bringing me out on tour,” she shared.

“So [what], I’m gonna tell ’em, ’Sorry, guys, we can’t perform on this date?’” she added sarcastically, telling her critics, “F–k you.”

Paris was announced as one of the opening acts alongside Manchester Orchestra on Incubus’ Morning View + The Hits Tour in the US and UK in March. “Beyond excited to have @parisjackson out on our [tour],” the band wrote in an Instagram post announcing the news. “Can’t wait to see you all there.”
