Janet Jackson’s Controversial Statements on Kamala Harris and the Upcoming Election

Janet Jackson’s Warning and False Claims

Janet Jackson recently spoke out about the potential chaos surrounding the upcoming November election in an interview with The Guardian. The Grammy-winning singer also made controversial statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity.

Questioning Harris’ Identity

“‘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.”

Donald Trump’s Comments on Kamala Harris

Presidential nominee Donald Trump made remarks in August suggesting that Harris “turned Black” for political gain.

“’She was only promoting Indian heritage,’” Trump said in an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. “’I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black…Is she Indian or is she Black?’”

Harris’ Background

Harris’ father has been confirmed to be a Jamaican immigrant who came to the U.S. to pursue a PhD in economics. Her mother, an Indian immigrant, passed away in 2009.

Variety has reached out to Jackson’s representatives for comment.

Janet Jackson’s Views on the Election

In the interview, The Guardian asked Jackson if she believes America is ready for Harris. Jackson responded, “Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know. I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.”

She further expressed her skepticism about a peaceful transition of power regardless of the election outcome.

“’I think there might be mayhem,’” Jackson said. “’Either way it goes, but we’ll have to see.’”
