Janet Jackson, known for her iconic songs about empowerment and control, recently found herself embroiled in a public relations disaster following comments she made about Vice President Kamala Harris. The fallout from her remarks has raised questions about her management team, particularly her brother and manager, Randy Jackson.
During an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Janet expressed doubts about Harris’ heritage, stating that she had heard Harris was not black but of Indian descent. Despite Harris being the first black and South Asian female Vice President in the United States, Janet continued to question her racial identity, claiming that Harris’ father was white. These comments sparked immediate backlash on social media, with critics accusing Janet of spreading misinformation and undermining Harris’ historic achievements.

However, sources within Janet’s inner circle have raised concerns about Randy’s handling of her affairs, suggesting that he lacks the experience and tact required for such a high-profile position. Some insiders have even suggested that Randy’s influence over Janet has grown too strong, leading to detrimental decisions such as the controversial comments about Kamala Harris.

Despite the backlash, Janet has remained relatively silent on the issue, with sources indicating that she and Randy initially intended to let the controversy blow over. However, conflicting statements from individuals claiming to represent Janet have only added to the confusion surrounding the situation.
