The American pastor and onetime presidential candidate was honoured at a ceremony with Amon N'Douffou V, king of the Agni people of the Krindjabo kingdom.
The crowning ceremony was attended by bare-chested women.
The king rules over a million members of his tribe, which venerates Michael Jackson after making him their prince after he visited the kingdom in 1992.
Villagers deep in the rainforest launched a search for a successor to the singer who was crowned prince of the Agni people 17 years ago.
The tribe held an extravagent two-day royal funeral for Michael Jackson. Traditional dancers and lookalikes of the dead singer paraded before the king and 2,000 mourners.

They’d better check their ivory before Jesse leaves.

Prince? That means he is in line for the throne? How much longer do we have to wait before he takes over that position? Soon? Will he be moving permanently to Africa soon? The sooner the better!

It wouldn't be right for him to rule in absentia. He ought to stay there and lead his subjects.
Here's his inauguration speech:
In absentia, I would not RULE.
My subjects are a PR TOOL.
I got a staff, a robe and CHAIN,
It's evident that I'm INSANE.

Apparently, they don’t have much to do in the Krindjabo kingdom. Michael Jackson to Jesse Jackson . . . . makes ya wonder, do they realize that Michael and Jesse weren’t related??
The bigger question, however is this - Is there NO one, among their million members, who is more suited to be their prince besides an American racist or an American pedophile??
