Is Janet Pissed Off At Beyonce?!
The New York Daily News claims Janet Jackson is “infuriated” by Beyonce’s comments about her famous family in the latest issue of Elle magazine.
In the new January 2009 cover story, Beyonce attempts to explain the differences between her road to stardom and the more common route taken by black performers who struggled economically during childhood.
“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” said Beyonce. “We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons, but I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
Jackson, who was born in the working class area of Gary, Ind., is reportedly so offended by the comment that she is planning to confront the singer, claims the Daily News

I just want to clear the air on the part where-they said,Beyonce states we’re AFRICAN AMERICAN-FIRST OFF WE ARE BLACK AMERICAN…im offended by that remark-give us our TITLE…if you was born in AMERICAN YOU ARE A BLACK AMERICAN-get the facts BEYONCE. (Moving on)for you to come out your mouth to even part yourself,in with the JACKSON was dead wrong…you WILL NEVER BE ON THAT LEVEL…so what if your daddy drove a Jaguar…it just go to show you that,you didnt work hard to get to the top of the food chain…your not upper class your a rich B***H who look down on people & use your body to get what you want. Ya’ll need to stop trying to use the JACKSON name to shine…because they SHINE BRIGHTER.

Janet has a right to express herself but in a positive way& YES, JANET IS BIGGER/BETTER THAN THAT! B could’ve used a different example and I agree with the other comments that were made about ‘THE JACKSONS’ legacy&life-struggles. B don’t know what it’s like to struggle bcuz dad/mom took charge of her life and still is in control! There should b a public apology from B 2 Janet. B’s not built4 a real womans street work, she’s 2busy wantn’ 2b cute&have pple feeln sorry 4her LOL. I just don’t like FAKE PPLE WHO THNK THEY’RE BETR THAN OTHERS WHEN THEY HAV$$$, but don’t 4get who made u&where u came from2! I still have not yet seen where B EVER HAD2 STRUGGLE?!but Janet will always b the girl over B who’s loving,kind, sincere and most of all… GINUWINE FROM THE HEART, so back off B, u still have ways 2 go b4 you’ve earned your title like ‘THE JACKSONS’, IT’S (MS. JANET)! 4LIFE, peace
Come on ppl, give Bey the benefit of the doubt. I’ll admit, JJ has every right to beat the hell outta Bey for that IGNORANT ASS COMMENT she made, but I just think sometimes she just doesn’t know what to say out of her mouth, but I do believe her heart is in the right place.
beyonce needs to shut her damn mouth…..cause she shouldn’t be looking down on janet jackson who has overcame a lot of obstacles to get to where she has to be….and what has beyonce been through?! she is nothing more than an egotistical b***h…..I cannot stand beyonce at all.

Janet, She’s young and don’t have much media skills. Please forgive her but do let her know; baby girl shouldn’t cross lines unless she’s ready to rumble. Please give her a sister to sister talk. No fighting please this is 2009 lets keep our mind. Love Yall, Earl
I understand Janet being offended. Do Beyonce understand that during the times the Jackson’s grew up, most black people were struggling. Joe Jackson have been made out to be a lot of things, but one thing for sure, he was a father that wanted better for his children. He therefore cultivated the talent that he saw in them. Beyounce’s dad did the same thing with her. Beyonce needs understand her history, like so many other youngsters. Then they will see how they’re enjoying the fruits of labor of those before them.
Please Janet keep the peace! It was wrong for her to put your family business out there;she should know better.
She could have kept that part out about ‘ I didn’t have parents to use me to get out of a bad situation’. Did Mr. & Mrs. JAckson use there children for that reason? Or did they not want them to struggle like they did?
SavvyTatyana, what are you saying? “Beyonce did not directly pick out her family, but reporters always make the comparison so she is just trying to make a distinction…”
Did you even read the article? She was directly quoted. “I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” said Beyonce. “We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons, but I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
I dont believe that Janet is planning on coming at Beyonce. Surely Janet can handle those kind of statements. She probably have been hearing those statements her whole life. The media is just trying to get some mess started. Janet, be the “Bigger Person!”
It’s just bad form on B’s part but when you’re in the heat of talking sometime people don’t think.She does come off a bit Bougie in the interview.The Jackson’s have a legagcy regardless of the way the have conducted their private lives.Beyone will NEVER be able to erase that.
I think that Janet has a right to be upset but she should handle it in a more classy way. She should handle it more privately instead of going around talking about it in public. Beyonce did not directly pick out her family, but reporters always make the comparison so she is just trying to make a distinction…
