Dedrick Is Related To A Music Legend
Dedrick’s clues pointed to him being related to the late legendary singer Michael Jackson. During theClaim to Fameseason 3 episode 1 Two Truths and a Lie game, shared via Instagram, Dedrick revealed that his celebrity relative is his uncle, who’s a singer who’s best known for winning Best Rock Song of the Year on more than a few occasions. Dedrick’s ears perked up when Shane mentioned that he’d been to the Neverland Ranch and met Michael Jackson, who owned the ranch and lived there. Dedrick shared,“My uncle is one of the most famous and iconic people in the world. I’ve never had to hide it before.“The rock music clue was his lie.
DuringClaim to Fameseason 3episode 3,Dedrick told Danny that he first realized that his uncle was a celebrity when he came and took him and his cousins to Toys “R” Us at two in the morning. They wondered how he was able to do it. Dedrick shared that his uncle told them to get whatever they wanted. As they piled up toys, his uncle said that they’d need about four more cars, and four more cars pulled up.
Dedrick also revealed that Charlie Sheen tried to give his uncle a Ferraribecause they were"cool friends,“but he couldn’t drive. He said that his uncle’s crew was Nicolas Cage and Sean Penn, leading Danny to believe that his relative was part of the whole 1980s scene. He spoke to Naomi about it, and she told him that she thought Dedrick’s relative was Michael Jackson.
Danny agreed, nothing the"giraffe"clue from the spelling challenge and thecontainer of bubblesclue on the Clue Wall.Michael once owned a chimpanzee named Bubbles and kept a giraffe at the Neverland Ranch. Dedrick later confirmed in his confessional that the giraffe clue was his.
Later in the episode, Danny pulled Dedrick’s Wine Room clue.It included a scarecrow, an owl with a speech bubble, a man walking, a “backwards” symbol, an “in” symbol, the letter N, a plus sign, a lever, a minus sign, the letter L, and a plane landing on a runway.Danny was able to decipher that the first part of the clue referenced Michael being the Scarecrow inThe Wizand moonwalking because of the man walking backwards.
Danny told Shane about this, who later said in his confessional that he loves Michael so much and that he was a very influential person in his life. Michael is also Shane’s sister’s godfather. Dedrick’s Wine Room clue can be deciphered to mean"Scarecrow who walked backwards in Neverland,“which also refers to Michael’s home, the Neverland Ranch.
DuringClaim to Fameseason 3 episode 3, the contestants played a game of telephone during which they had to memorize and recite limericks to each other to retell them correctly. One of the lines said,“But her dancing was bad.“Miguel thought that this might be a reference toBad,Michael’s album and song. However, Adam convinced Miguel that Dedrick was related to Little Richard, and Miguel made a wrong guess and was eliminated.
InClaim to Fameseason 3episode 4, many of the contestants were sure that Dedrick was related to Michael, butsome thought that he could be related to record executive, musician, and formerAmerican Idoljudge Randy Jackson. They even convinced themselves of it by putting together clues from the Clue Wall, but they were incorrect.
The episode began with Danny and Shane talking to Dedrick aboutThe Wiz. Dedrick played it cool by listing characters and actors from the movie, but he didn’t mention Michael as the Scarecrow. Later, Naomi, Adam, and Hud wondered how Dedrick could’ve made the mistake of accidentally saying his own name out loud.
During the interrogation challenge, the contestants asked Dedrick if his celebrity relative was in the movieThe Wiz.He replied yes. He also admitted that his celebrity relative was known for his dance moves. However,when they asked him if his celebrity relative ever owned a giraffe, Dedrick said no. In his confessional, he said that they might feel like they got him, but then they could be wrong. However, during the previous episode, Dedrick had confirmed to the audience that the giraffe clue was his.
During theClaim to Fameseason 3 week 5 senses challenge,Dedrick confirmed that two of the sound clues were his: egg beater and bubble wrap. The bubble wrap was another Bubbles the Chimp clue, but Dedrick tried to deflect by guessing ping pong balls instead. Although it wasn’t mentioned on the show, the egg beater would represent Michael’s hit song, “Beat It.”
