Information on the cameos
The Jackson Five were a popular American music family group from Gary, Indiana. The group was founded by brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson. Jermaine was later replaced by an additional brother: Randy Jackson.
The group was known for a variety of hits such as "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There". Years later, the children revealed that their father Joe beat them when they did not perform as he wanted them to, and was very abusive with his punishments. The Jackson Five disbanded in 1989.
In 2012, three years after the death of Michael Jackson, the other four founding brothers reunited as "The Jacksons". Today, only Jackie and Marlon remain; Jermaine left the group in 2020, and Tito died in 2024.
Appearance in the rap battle
They appeared at the end of the line, "Every record you set, man, I beat it!" and danced behind Michael Jackson until the line, "Call me Ed Sullivan, shoot you from the waist up!"

- According to a comment by Nice Peter on Reddit, originally the Jackson Five were not going to be included in the battle at all.
