The 38-year-old singer is the legal guardian of the pop icon's children Prince, 19, Paris, 18, and Blanket, 14 has opened up about the lessons he has tried to teach his cousins in the wake of their father's passing, reported Female First.
"I don't think there's anything I had to teach them because my uncle taught them everything they need to know.
"All the important things - their core ethics and values are so strong, and there's moments where I just hear my uncle's voice come out of them because (of) their love for people and their innocence."
"I don't even spend time on my uncle with them as a performer. I just try to make sure that they know their father was one of the greatest, greatest fathers. And that's why it's tough for me because he never got to finish his job as a parent.
