Pop star Janet Jackson has found herself in hot water after making controversial comments about Vice President Kamala Harris in a recent interview with The Guardian. Jackson promoted a widely-debunked conspiracy theory claiming that Harris is “not Black,” sparking outrage and backlash from fans and critics alike.

In response to the backlash, Jackson released a statement through her manager Mo Elmasri, expressing her deep respect for Vice President Harris and acknowledging the importance of accurate representation in public discourse.
