12 Celebrity Relatives Reveal Their True Identities on "Claim to Fame"

Michael's famous relative is his female cousin, who has received an Emmy award. Michael later says that his relative is "an actor, singer, dancer," which gets everyone's wheels turning. During the second episode of the series, Michael is eliminated when it's revealed that Zendaya is his celebrity relative.

During a challenge, there was a spider as one of the clues, which is a direct correlation to the "Spider-Man" movies that Zendaya stars in. Michael even tries to throw off his fellow castmates when they're talking about the Emmy-winning actress, and he says that he has "a big crush" on her," but he wasn't fooling anyone. Pepper is the one to eliminate Michael, where he shares that his real name is Cubb Coleman, and he is a music producer.

Answer: Michael is Zendaya's cousin.
