Janet Jackson has stirred up significant controversy this week after making remarks that questioned Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity. During a recent interview, Janet sparked heated reactions by commenting, “She’s not Black, that’s what I heard. She’s Indian.” When the interviewer pointed out that Harris is of mixed heritage, Janet stated, “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told… I haven’t watched the news in a few days.”
The statement, based on misinformation, quickly led to public outrage. In reality, Kamala Harris is of Jamaican (Black) and Indian descent. The situation escalated when a man falsely claiming to be Janet’s manager, Mo Elmasri, issued an unauthorized apology, stating, “Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments… they were based on misinformation.” This led to more confusion when it was revealed that Elmasri had no ties to Janet.
Randy Jackson, Janet’s actual manager and brother, has not publicly addressed the matter, likely due to the family grieving the recent passing of their brother, Tito Jackson. For now, the controversy surrounding Janet’s comments and the following misunderstanding continues to unfold. Fans are waiting to see how the situation will be resolved.
