Janet Jackson sparks controversy with racial comment on Kamala Harris' father

Janet Jackson, the legendary pop star, has sparked controversy after making a false claim about Kamala Harris' father's race. In an interview with The Guardian, Jackson suggested that Harris' father is white, despite the fact that Harris is a Black woman.

The claim was made during a conversation about the 2024 election and Harris' potential candidacy for president. When asked about her thoughts on Harris, Jackson said that she had been told that Harris' father was white.

However, when the reporter clarified that Harris is Black and Indian, Jackson seemed uncertain and unclear about the truth.

"I mean, I haven't watched the news in a few days," Jackson said. "I was told that they discovered her father was white."

The reporter pressed Jackson on the issue, asking if she thought America was ready for Harris to be president.

Jackson responded by saying that she didn't know and that either way, the outcome would be "mayhem."

The controversy surrounding Jackson's comments has sparked a heated debate about race and ethnicity in the media.

Many have criticised Jackson for spreading misinformation and perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
