Janet Jackson may have been bestowed with the Icon honor at the Billboard Music Awards recently, but the ever humble legend was still welcoming of all backstage.
Moments ago, the diva shared snaps of herself with rising star Normani, who around the time of the show revealed that she was lucky enough to have met Jackson.
Also enjoying time with the 52-year-old were Ciara, Tyra Banks, Jenna Dewan, and her sister Rebbie Jackson (who, at 67, looks sensational).
Speaking of her catch-ups (and introductions), Jackson saod:
Thank u to my beautiful sister Rebbie and my girls for your support ? #girlpower
Peep more pics below…
Stunners all-round!

Janet looks amazing!
Janet looks great and all the ladies look great. I wish Janet would have done a different song selection. I’m thinking Control / If / Rhythym Nation / Feedback.
She did NASTY/THROB for the ME TOO movement and her speech made it make sense
But this was more about Janet getting a lifetime achievement award for billboard success rather than some #MeToo Movement and if her performance was for the #MeToo Movement why was I not able to automatically pic that up like I did with salt n peppa? I struggle to find the correlation between Throb’s lyrics and #MeToo.
Control / If / Rhythym Nation are better songs for #Me Too movement. Tose songs are heavily about female empowerpent.
I’m so tired of seeing ppl say what they wish she did, it’s pointless. Did she slay what she did do? Yes, yes she did and then some, ppl loved it as shown by the sales boost of the performed songs especially throb which many younger people thought was a brand new song. So within a short performance she let ppl see her old hits still knock, captured interest of younger ppl, showed the type of party she’s serving up on tour and had Bruno let everybody know that her chart accomplishments are not to be dismissed many are still unbroken today. She good. If you want a montage of her old hits go watch AMAs ‘09 she’s done it before there was no reason to do it again.
Bam you can agree to disagree but everyone is still going to have their own opinion. There is no one opinion suits all when it comes to human beings. I stand behind every word I wrote.
Testify Bam!!!!
Janet is just so freaking beautiful!!!
You see Ciara paid proper homage. Wasn’t initially received at first by Janet but over the years Janet couldn’t go on without giving her reborn the stamp of approval.,. Nicki this should been you and kim.
Girl bye kim is mad about baby not signing her and she had resentment towards nicki that’s not nickis issue
Girl stfu! Nicki was threatened by Kim on the remix they did for young money, and asked Baby to take Kim off because Kim murdered her verse. Nicki doesn’t want to see any other female shine. Karma is a b****** because Cardi is spankin that @ss while pregnant. I like it video drops tomorrow at 10am.
If that’s what you feel is the reason they are beefing then yea nicki has her fans delusional..
JANET is AMAZING
Janet been missing from the stage for some years.. I just wish she would have cane back with a different style
I agree. Wendy Williams said the same thing. This was Janet’s time to shine and she played it subtle. She should have showed her body off and danced hard with songs like Rhytym Nation and If.
She shouldn’t sing her big hits for a shirt time
I’d take anything Wendy says with a grain of salt… Wendy doesn’t really care for Janet. She even BASICALLY said someone else (another black woman) was more deserving of it. Wendy down played Janet that whole part of the show. She’s really been down playing her whole comeback since 2015. Wendy is a low key hater.
Wendy attacks all black women celebs over 50 because they look better than her. Wendy is very insecure sitting up there looking like she could be Janet’s mother. I just wished Janet would have shut all her haters down on stage that night like she does at every concert.
I asked Gil, Janet’s choreographer that exact same question and he wasn’t pleased, even though I was very courteous. He said Janet did not go hard because she has nothing to prove. I said that’s not the point. Fans love her for it and therefore expect it from her. He said they can go see her on tour then. Ha smh
I don’t get that logic. You asked a valid question for sure.
*Goes to YT to play Centipede* ?
Yaaaas hunnie lol ??
There was NO ONE more deserving of the ICON Award than Ms. Jackson!
Janet was so polite to take photos with her fans! Love me sum Janet!
Janet is SNATCHED!!! Are u sure she’s 52yrs old???? If Ciara was smart, she should suggest a duet w/Janet for her upcoming album. They are friends & Lord knows she needs a hit song……..
Janet looks FINE! Get it Damita! Rebbie looks amazing for 67 as well! I’m so happy for Ciara! She is getting to spend so much time with her idol! It’s also nice to see Janet embrace new talent like Normani! … and I’m also always here for Tyra!
I love this lady so much
Janet is Aging Backward!
