Janet Jackson apologized for her comments in an interview that published Saturday where the singer questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris was Black, saying her controversial remarks were “based on misinformation,” per a statement provided to Buzzfeed.
In The Guardian interview, when asked about the prospect of having the first-ever Black and female president after Election Day, Jackson said of Harris, “Well, you know what they supposedly said? She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
