Sometimes,
its best not to ruin what makes you alluring.
Once you open your mouth,
or font some dumb shit,
you will be known as “the idiot” .

janet,
oh janet.
po,
po,
janet.

we see why beyonce keeps her mouth shut on her internet.
the villagers are always hungry to eat and throw bones on the front lawn.
janet didn’t really speak about justin timberlake during nipplegate.
when she did,
she gave a PR answers and kept her real opinion to herself.
it’s puzzling why when asked about kamala harris and her ethnicity,
she is gonna say via variety…

“Jackson’s comments about the vice president were part of a recent interview with The Guardian that also saw the singer expressing concern about the potential chaos surrounding the upcoming November election. She expressed uncertainty about the information she’d been “told” about Harris’ racial background, but proceeded with the statements anyway.

“‘Well, you know what they supposedly said?’” Jackson told the news outlet. “‘She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.’”

When informed that Harris is both Black and Indian, Jackson pushed back, asserting that the presidential nominee’s father is neither.

“Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days,” she said. “I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Her comments seemed to echo those former president Donald Trump told journalists in August that Harris, his Democratic opponent, “turned Black” for political gain.”

janet,
what?

this kind of talk can’t be from the same icon who made rhythm nation.
how you gonna font that you were “told” this?
and,
what does her race even have to do with how she plans to run this country?
there was no rest for the wicked this weekend because:

When I font that ya’ll made no hesitation to put ya’ll verbal foot up her ass.

i thought her nipple gate era was bad,
but i ain’t never thought i’d see janet get dragged like this.
even dl hughley came for her:

#KamalaHarris looks the way she does cuz she has mom from India and a dad from Jamaica! #JanetJackson looks the way she does cuz she has a plastic surgeon! #TeamDl

#JanetJacksons interview sounded like a #Trump rally! FYI!! It's a little ironic to question whether someone is black while you're breathing through the nose of a white woman! #TeamDl

some remind dl it’s not that serious.
before he apologized,
he had a lot of shit to say about kamala too.

we all did tbh.

this ruckus caused her to issue an apology and fast.
via variety:

“After a confusing turn of events on Sunday, reps for Janet Jackson tell Variety that an unusually worded “apology” for the singer’s ill-informed comments about Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ racial background was made by a person who is not the singer’s manager, as he had claimed, and thus was not authorized to speak on her behalf.

The unauthorized “apology,” first reported by Buzzfeed and repeated by multiple major outlets, was made by a man named Mo Elmasri who — apparently inaccurately — claimed to be the singer’s manager. It reads: “Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation. Janet respects Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society. Janet remains committed to promoting unity and understanding.”

“after a confusing turn of events” aka dragged to hell.
good move janet!
blame the help!

this is why i tell everyone to get context.
if you don’t know wtf you’re talmbout,
it’s best to stay quiet.

“I don’t know.
I haven’t researched it enough to have an opinion.”

…or a simple “no comment” would work too.
feel free to use any of the two when in doubt.

lowkey: the good news is folks are coming for anyone who comes for kamala,
even if it’s an legend.
no scalp will be left un-dragged.
