Janet Jackson‘s decision to steer clear of celebrity within the last decade has brought its pros and cons.
On one hand, it’s seen her enjoy a life of privacy away from the pressures stardom often brings.
However, it’s also seen her legacy left in the hands of a fickle industry who, for one reason or another, have erased her impact on Pop culture from the genre’s history books.
With this in mind, it may come as little surprise to see music lovers who are too young to remember said impact have clung to claims that she married and divorced her husband for money.
Today, her best friend Gil Duldulao has blasted these fans.
Gil is one of Janet’s longest-running creative directors and published the message above after watching the icon face memes like the one below.
