is it safe for janet to come back out after that ruthless dragging ya’ll gave her?

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:

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.

  1. No comment doesn’t work anymore. People, mostly Barbz and haters, have been hounding Beyoncé to make a statement and they aren’t even sure which thing they are pissed off at her for.

    People are looking for any reason to be belligerent.

  2. I can’t deny that I’m disappointed in Janet Jackson for her recent comments. I still support her, but she needs to do better.

    I’m disappointed not just because she’s spreading false information, but also because Janet has been in the industry at the highest levels for over 40 years. She has had top-tier media training and knows how to answer that question without causing controversy.

    Another thing that bothers me about her comment is when she goes on to say that she heard that the VP’s father is white. Not only is that wrong, but my response would be “And, so what”? It’s a strange statement, especially coming from a member of the Jackson family. Honestly, given their history of interracial dating and marriage, their whole family probably looks like the United Nations, and I mean that with no disrespect.

    “All skin folk ain’t kin folk” – not all black people are for other black people. On the other hand, there are some good allies – white, Asian, Latino, and others – who are wholeheartedly supportive of the black community and demonstrate that through their words and actions. Look at the black officers who killed Tyre Nichols, or Mark Robinson from North Carolina claiming to be a black Nazi or advocating for the return of slavery, Candace Owens, etc. There are plenty of examples of black people who don’t care about other black people. This whole idea that only black people can care for and do right by black people has to go away.

  3. I read on Lipstick Alley that Joe Jackson was a Trump supporter when Trump ran for POTUS in 2016. Janet’s brother Randy has reportedly posted Pro Trump videos on his social media this year.It’s possible that there are more Trump supporters in the Jackson family.

    As for Janet I have heard some people say Kamala’s dad is mixed but I have never heard anyone claim he is White.A simple Google would show her he’s is definitely not White. Ironically many of Katherine and Joe Jackson’s grandchildren and most of their great-grandchildren are Mixed.

    Oh yeah I saw a post from that manager saying he was fired.So I’m not sure if he was fired before or after he released that statement.

  4. It gets worse:
    Her and Randy fired the Manager for attempting to clean it up. The Jacksons always had this “Weird ” view of the world. Janet gave us hints .Secret Marriages, Nipple gate( she planed it .She just happen to be wearing that Nipple Plate with a tousle).Saying Michael’s” Kids are Black, and her father has Blue eyes”. The constant touring of the same songs and stiff dancing

    . However, I am still a fan, and this shows that none of us are perfect. Let’s see how she bounces back from this. Perhaps a Free Concert to raise money for Kamala ??

If you wouldn't say it on live TV with all your family and friends watching, without getting canceled or locked up, don't say it on here. Stay on topic, no SPAM, and keep it respectful. Thanks!
