Vice President Kamala Harris denied a rumor Tuesday surrounding singer Janet Jackson, after the famous artist claimed she was not black.
The vice president reacted to Jackson's statement and the subsequent controversy during a town hall conversation with Charlamagne Tha God in Detroit, Michigan.
Charlamagne asked Harris to address the rumor on social media that Janet Jackson was mad at her, because she prosecuted her brother superstar singer Michael Jackson.
''That's just not true on either count,' Harris said, laughing.
When asked if Jackson was mad at her, Harris admitted that she had not talked to Janet Jackson since the controversy.
'I don't know, I haven't talked to her, but it certainly isn't true about her brother,' Harris said.
some may cause they are brainwashed, but I am not sure they will sans vote harvesting.
Janet Jackson, 58, questioned Harris' race during an interview with The Guardian in September.
'She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian,' Jackson said when asked for her reaction to the idea of Harris getting elected as the first black female president of the United States.
'Her father’s white. That’s what I was told,' Jackson continued. 'I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.'
The issue grew even more controversial after Jackson distanced herself from a statement issued on her behalf apologizing to Harris and fired the person who tried to quell the controversy.
Harris has frequently dealt with questions about her race throughout her career, as she frequently dismisses critics who challenge her blackness.
The vice president spoke at length with Charlemagne about campaign issues,
When asked about prosecuting over a thousand people for marijuana when she was District Attorney of California, Harris denied it.

Thats Miss Jackson (if you’re nasty)
I remember her as Penny from Good Times.
Who is Charlemagne Tha God? (How much more blasphemous can a show biz name be?)
I only heard of him when Hilary went on his show. Must be a black thing
I only heard of him because Rush tried to interview him in 2020
The presumptive Democratic nominee’s comment came at the end of an at times tense interview with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club.”
A staffer interjected that Biden needed to go, and Charlamagne shot back: “You can’t do that to black media!”
“I do that to white media and black media because my wife has to go on at 6 o’clock,” Biden said, referring to his wife Jill Biden apparently needing to use the broadcast studio they’ve built in their basement in Delaware as the coronavirus pandemic has knocked Biden off the campaign trail. Glancing at his watch, Biden said, “uh oh, I’m in trouble.”
Charlamagne told Biden that he should come to the studio in New York City for another interview, telling the former vice president that “we’ve got more questions.”
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
He’s a radio 📻 show host and apparently a musician.
And I hope this sinks her campaign ever further.
No further questions, your honor.
