If ever you thought to question if Janet Jackson still had “it,” even at age 52, the pop royal sent out a ringing reminder with a stunning set of photos for Essence magazine’s July/August 2018 issue (click here to read more).
Serving high fashion alongside her signature megawatt smile, the diva accompanied her eye-catching set of snaps with some equally engaging quotes (namely about bouts with depression, the joys of motherhood, and so much more). Now, as members of the #JanFam see their excitement reach a feverish pitch in preparation for the Grammy winner’s return to the Essence Festival stage, they’re invited to take a behind-the-scenes look at the magic that is her feature on and in the mag’s most recent edition.

So what. JJ is Fifty-fifty Fifty-fifty Fifty-fifty Fifty-fifty Fifty-fifty. Why do you keep pulling her card again
Because at her age, you will look beat up and brokedown, like a melon that’s fallen off a sky scraper. ?? Sit.
