Janet Jackson has been reading too much social media news, and made the unfortunate mistake of thinking that Kamala Harris’ father was White, and not Black.
As Media Take Out reported, Kamala repeated the misinformation to a reporter from The Guardian and it went viral.
Shortly after Janet went viral, DL Hughley began making some very disrespectful comments about Janet, her singing ability, and her plastic surgery.
Look:
Janet is currently mourning the passing of her brother Tito. She’s also been living in Europe for the past few years, and she may not be as well versed in United States politics as most of us.
Does she deserve a break?
Jackson has sold over 100 million records, making her one of the world’s best-selling music artists. She has amassed an extensive catalog, with singles such as “Nasty”, “Rhythm Nation”, “That’s the Way Love Goes”, “Together Again”, and “All for You”; she holds the record for the most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by a female artist with 18. She is also the only artist in the history of the chart to have seven commercial singles from one album (Rhythm Nation 1814) peak within the top five positions. In 2008, Billboard placed her number seven on its list of the Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, and in 2010 ranked her fifth among the “Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years”.
In December 2016, the magazine named her the second most successful dance club artist after Madonna. Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, an Academy Award nomination, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and eight Guinness World Records entries. In 2019, she was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
