    Congrats TGJ for getting a sit down with Ms. Jackson! She is really going all out to promote this documentary. I feel like she’s hiding her next moves, tho…she knows EXACTLY what’s coming, LOL! I just wish she’d tell us.

    She didn’t even mention Abel 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but she did say KING BRUNO’S name.

    • King7titan February 8, 2022

      Why not out right asked her about Black Diamond..? Recycled questions are a waste of time!

    • Fancy BISH (Back To The Future 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 February 8, 2022

      Quincy Jones is on Abel’s new album, and that’s the way it IS lol 🤳🏽And Janet is Queen, so whatever she says GOES 😂 Good for Bruno! 💯 And since you’re a whole imposter and you mention my name by the HOUR…thank you, my #1 fan lmaooooooooo 💋

      • Fancy BISH (FCK Maristench, Danzou The Fool & Clarksdump 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 February 9, 2022

        Ashy CLOWN when did I mention your name? Was that supposed to be English?? You can’t even construct a proper statement without me revealing your terrible grammar 😂🤣. Don’t drop out of clown school any time soon 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

      • Fancy BISH (Live From Madison Square Garden 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 February 9, 2022

      • Fancy BISH (Back To The Future 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 February 10, 2022

        I’m SO in the future lmaooooooooo…I don’t care if you can’t understand me 🤣 I’m having a conversation with my artificial imposter lol 👀 🤳🏽 Janet is a futurist like me 💯💋 The last time I checked it was ABEL that had the biggest song EVER on the Billboard Hot 100..all the comparisons are highly irrelevant 😂 Janet knows that Control, Rhythm Nation, janet. and The Velvet Rope are on another level entirely lol 💯 That’s why she’s so chill and nice lol… ☕️

      • Fancy BISH (Back To The Future 🤣) 👊🏽💎💋 February 11, 2022

      It’s “Take Care” for me.

      Because real Queens are spoiled by their mans. Something that is foreign to side hos.

      Boop!

  6. DeeAngil February 8, 2022

    Alright SAM, you HAD BETTTA get Mutha’s Interview!!!!!!!! I’m over here in NYC giving you ALL THE SNAPS!!!!!!! ♥️ You kept it Pro, no fanning out! I was waiting for one ☝🏾 iDie!!!! lol

  7. True Tea February 8, 2022

    While Janet is out here living her best life, the Queens y’all stan is out here chasing toxic d*ck, still learning how to be a professional artist, still trying to find another hit OR still trying to hold onto their glory days.

    We won’t mention any names here. Their names are NOT to be mentioned in the same sentence as a real Queen.

        Yet you admitted ur man like to play w/ other women while he keep you around for backup.

        Sounds pretty toxic to me.

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 February 8, 2022

        Nice try! 🤣

    • Ughhhh February 9, 2022

      Screaming! TGJ is finally removed the trolls’ toxic comments. Like Janet will read your broke ass website comment selection. Y’all are hilarious.

    • Brian February 11, 2022

      Isn’t janets career all about her taking control of her life and career yet her father and 3 husband controlled her every move from what she wore to what she after? None of the artist you are throwing weak shade at never had that problem because unlike janet they aren’t uneducated weak b******. Think before you post.

    • Troy March 9, 2022

      I’ll mention their names. FLEAonce, piggy backing off of all the new up and coming artist to get Grammys, her latest victim, Megan Thee Stallion, used Megans shine to win a grammy. Then she’s sending all these females in the industry her Ivy Park sweat shop clothes for them to promote her and they don’t even know that’s what they are doing and she’s not even paying them. Then she’ll start using blue Ivy once she starts her journey into the industry. Let’s not forget how she uses Chloe X, whatever them girls names are. She’s using their foundation to keep her name out there amongst the Grownish fanbase as well as their own musical fanbase. COPYonce and her team knows how to use other women/girls to keep her relevant. And we won’t talk about OLDonna, who continues to reinvent herself by NOT REINVENTING herself by posting pics of her wrinkly body that she’s had work done on for years….What I can say about Janet is, she’s not out in these streets being hard up for attention and relevancy….50 years in the business and she’s still getting her flowers, still powerful, and still relevant, and fans old and young excited to see her just sit down and do a two minute interview and still buying her music and going to her shows….That’s DIVA Power there of a Grown Woman who is Iconic, Legendary and Professional.

  8. Jeans February 8, 2022

    Wow kudos for y’all getting janet for an interview! She looks amazing!

  9. DeanD February 8, 2022

    Love you, Janet but “Luv I Luv” isn’t it. B-side it but don’t put it on Black Diamond. Please. Congratulations on reminding people you’re a Legend for a reason.
