Victoria Monet has made no secret of her admiration of Janet Jackson, but a quote from a recent interview infers the ‘On My Mama’ hitmaker is open to paying the ultimate tribute to the living legend.
Once referring to the Pop royal as her idol, Monet has sang Jackson’s praises in interviews, on social media, on stage, and beyond.
“…my most authentic way to honor you, adore you, respect you and show you how much I love you is through my life’s musical work!! There you will find all the ways you’ve shown up for me with your timeless art, and all of the ways I’ve cherished the blueprint you’ve engraved and are still writing to this day! There is no me as an artist without Janet Jackson,” she once said about the legend on Instagram.
Reiterating that admiration in a chat with ‘MixMag,’ Vickie – while dishing about the forthcoming deluxe edition of her breakout album ‘Jaguar II,’ 2024 GRAMMY nominations, and so much more – hinted that she would be down to help bring Janet’s life story to the big screen.
“In some world, what if this is an audition for if I ever got to play her?,” she asked when recalling the night Jackson came to her ‘Jaguar II Tour’ show. “[That’s] most nervous I’d ever been for a show.”
The suggested interest comes less than two months after Monet took to press to indicate her desire to expand her empire with forays into fashion, television, and film.
As of time of this report no official plans for a Janet biopic have been announced, however.

God no, can we go back to biopics with actors that actually look like the star please lol.
Yes, please. I wish we would let actors do their jobs. Get an actor who looks like Janet, and train her to dance.
I can’t imagine a biopic for Janet unless it focuses on a particular period, like Rhythm Nation or janet. I’m still waiting to see what they do with the MJ biopic.
She isn’t eyeing shít. She’ll be a one hit wonder. That ‘On My Mama’ song is corny as fuçk and will be forgotten. This hô could never play Janet!
I can see it
But can she act?! A biopic is more than just looking like the person….
Boring just like Janet’s last 3 albums.
Victorias a legend in the game it doesn’t make any sense she do a biopic for sum1 who’s been bIackballed for an inappropriate Super Bowl stunt than had the audacity to blame it on jt
Your an idiot
Harsh but true. I see what you’re saying.
Exactly!!!!!! Victoria has surpassed the whole Janet lane imo even though they both have softer voices Vic has a stronger voice
You are DELUSIONAL! This girl finally obtains one solo hit and now she’s surpassed Janet???!!! They do have meds for that you know?????
That’s not! But no! Janet is still making moves. When she is fully retired from music, movies, and art altogether maybe but not now.
Tina Turners biopic was released at the peak of her career.
The actress from The Power Series……. Her character is (Diana) LaToya Tonodeo would be a good representation of Janet Jackson.
