Dedrick's Slip-Up Could Be His Downfall

The morning after the first Claim to Fame season 3 elimination, the contestants ate breakfast together. Miguel did a magic trick in which he pretended to put something in his nose and pull it out again. Dedrick said that he couldn't do that in front of his kids because they'd actually try it. He said, "The problem is I'll walk into the ER or something, and they'll be like, 'For real, Mr. Jackson? Again?"Dedrick seemed to realize his mistake of saying his real name, but said nothing.

Naomi was the only one who realized that he'd called himself "Mr. Jackson." She shared that she thought that it was a true accident. Naomi then said that Dedrick looked like one of Michael Jackson's brothers. She realized that the Scarecrow on the Clue Wall might refer to Michael playing the role of the Scarecrow in The Wiz.

Dedrick Is Michael Jackson’s Nephew

Dedrick Is Jackie Jackson’s Son Siggy Jackson

Claim to Fame season 3 contestant Dedrick is actually Siggy Jackson, the son of Jackie Jackson of the Jackson 5. This makes him Michael, Janet, and LaToya Jackson's nephew. A visit to Siggy's Instagram page, which he's made private, proves his true identity. While it's unfortunate that Siggy accidentally revealed his true identity to Naomi, this doesn't necessarily mean that his time in the game is up. She could choose to keep the information quiet and use it as leverage later, or even align with him by keeping his secret.

It's very exciting that a member of the Jackson family is a contestant on Claim to Fame. Jackson family fans had already recognized Siggy in the promos before the first episode even premiered. There are so many famous members of the Jackson family, so the Clue Wall is sure to be full of even more clues besides the Scarecrow. It's going to be thrilling to see if Siggy can keep his true identity a secret and continue to play the role of Dedrick on Claim to Fame season 3.
