Tuesday, August 13, 2024 - Janet Jackson has shared some unexpected details about her family tree, revealing connections to several big names in Hollywood.
During an appearance on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, in a
video shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, August 13, the music icon
disclosed that she is related to legendary musicians Stevie Wonder and Tracy
Chapman, as well as acclaimed actor Samuel L. Jackson.
When host Scott Mills asked Janet if she was related to
Stevie Wonder, she confirmed, saying, "He’s our cousin. Not a lot of
people know that. He’s our cousin on my mother’s side. So is Tracy
Chapman."
Janet further surprised listeners by adding, "So is
Samuel Jackson." She clarified that while Samuel L. Jackson is not her
brother, he is still a part of her extended family.
Janet Jackson, already renowned for being a member of the
famous Jackson family, is the younger sister of Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine,
La Toya, Marlon, Randy, and the late Michael Jackson.
In a recent interview, Janet also reflected on writing her
1995 hit song "Scream" with her brother Michael, recalling their time
together in New York. "Mike and I wrote that song in New York, in his
apartment," she shared. "So [I relive] that whole journey, listening
to him sing it [and remembering] what he was going through at that time. And
just me being his little sister, always by his side, and being that support
system. That's always been my role."
Michael Jackson, who was one of the most influential
musicians in history, passed away in 2009 at the age of 50 due to cardiac
arrest. Janet's revelations add a new dimension to her already illustrious
family history, connecting her to some of the biggest stars in the
entertainment industry.
