Pop icon Janet Jackson is facing backlash after dismissing Vice President Kamala Harris’s Black identity, claiming she was “told” Harris is Indian due to her mother’s heritage. Jackson reportedly told The Guardian last week that Harris’s father is white, even though he is Jamaican.
Following public criticism, a statement attributed to Jackson’s manager, Mo Elmasri, appeared on Buzzfeed Sunday, offering an apology for “any confusion caused” and emphasizing the importance of accurate representation.
However, Jackson’s team has now disavowed the apology, stating that Elmasri had no authorization to issue such a statement. Further, sources suggest that Elmasri is not Jackson’s current manager, and that her brother, Randy Jackson, is actually responsible for her management.
The situation has left fans and the media questioning the veracity of the apology and the identity of Jackson’s actual management team.
