J5collection is his company. Either him or his team did it.
I can't tell without a doubt if it was him personally...but I know he has promoted his j5 (both the clothes & the twitter) before.
But logically, knowing how sensitive using such a high profile kid to sell clothes might look to the public, wouldn't his team consult the owner of the company (and the kid's uncle) before sending out these tweets?
I still think Jackie & Tito are the only sane guys left in that family...but this doesn't surprise me one bit. People tend to do tacky or desperate things when $$$ is involved. I thought it was tacky when j5 tweeted about Prince & the j5 shirt.
But reading Jackie BRINGING it up in an unrelated interview a FULL MONTH LATER, makes me think, he either sent out the tweets himself (from his company j5 collection account) or he authorized them.
What we have to remember, not that I am saying it is right, is that Jackie and siblings were socialized into the idea that kids can pull their talents together and work to help and support the family, so his nephew wearing a t-shirt that he is selling may not be seen in the same way that it is judged by us. Hey my sister was baking my herself at 7. She said she did it because she did not like the way my mom's food taste. Some may think this is a dangerous practice for a 7 year old.
