Janet Jackson sings about control. But some people in her circle worry she’s handing it over to someone else.

Amid the fallout from her comments about Kamala Harris’ race and her camp’s chaotic attempts to manage the situation, insiders are pointing fingers at her brother and manager, Randy Jackson.

Sources say that the PR disaster proves that Randy is too inexperienced to handle her affairs and has become too loud a voice in her ear.

The furor began on Saturday, after the Guardian newspaper published an interview with the “Control” singer. When the interviewer asked Janet her thoughts on Harris becoming the first black female president should she defeat Donald Trump in November, Janet responded, “She’s not black. That’s what I heard… that she’s Indian.”

And despite Harris making history as America’s first black and South Asian female Vice President in 2020, Janet continued, “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

(Harris’ parents are immigrants from Jamaica and India.)

The criticism on social media was swift and devastating, while comedian DL Hughley blasted the interview as sounding like a “Trump rally” and even took a shot at the singer’s plastic surgery. “It’s a little ironic to question whether someone is black while you’re breathing through the nose of a white woman!,” he wrote on X.

We’re told that her inner circle was perplexed by the interview, and fear that the fallout could be more severe than that of “Nipplegate” after her infamous Super Bowl performance 20 years ago — because her comments could tarnish her sterling reputation as a champion of marginalized groups.
