Recently, the singer went viral on social media after commenting on Vice President Kamala Harris during an interview with The Guardian.
The award-winning musician responded to the interviewer’s statement that “America could be on the verge of voting for its first Black female president,” per The Guardian.
Jackson then replied, Well, you know what they supposedly said? Shes not black. Thats what I heard. That shes Indian.
When The Guardian reporter clarified that Harris has both Black and South Asian heritage, Jackson replied that she had received different information.
Thats what I was told. I mean, I havent watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white,” Janet continued.
