Pop icon Janet Jackson made controversial remarks suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris may not be Black, based on information she had heard. Jackson expressed her doubts during an interview in London while promoting her upcoming tour and Las Vegas residency. Harris, who has Indian heritage from her mother and Black ancestry from her father, has faced similar disinformation in the past, including from former President Donald Trump. Harris responded to these comments by calling them divisive and disrespectful, and emphasizing the need for unity in the country.
In addition to discussing Harris, Jackson also expressed concerns about the upcoming presidential election and highlighted the issue of child sex trafficking, linking it to her music and the messages in her iconic “Rhythm Nation” album. She also discussed her own past experiences with abuse, particularly from her father Joe Jackson.
Jackson’s career has seen both highs and controversies, including the infamous Super Bowl incident with Justin Timberlake. Despite the challenges she has faced, she remains a successful and influential artist with numerous accolades to her name. As she continues to promote her music and tour dates, Jackson may also be working to strengthen her legacy and address any tarnished perceptions of her in the public eye.
