Janet Jackson is related to three very famous black celebrities

Legendary artist Janet Jackson has some major league cousins ​​that chances are you’ll not have known were her cousins. During an interview with the singer, it was revealed that certainly one of them is singer Stevie Wonder.

“He’s our cousin,” the 58-year-old said on BBC Radio 2 Breakfast on August 13. “Not many people know about it. He’s our cousin on our mother’s side.”

Jackson didn’t stop there – she also had two more big celebrity names to share which are a part of her family tree.

“So is Tracy Chapman,” she continued with a chuckle. “So is Samuel L. Jackson. He would be a cousin, too. I mean, he’s not my brother.”

It seems that God has his favorites, as their family is filled with talent and has been gifting the world with their creativity for many years.

As for a way the star is related to Samuel L. Jackson, the connection is unclear. During a 2017 interview with Wired, the actor was asked about his connection to Michael Jackson and he denied being related to the enduring family.

The Jackson family name is widely known, and lots of members of the family contribute to their success, although essentially the most well-known are Michael and Janet.

In the 2022 documentary, the singer talks about life together with her brothers, especially during their time as The Jackson 5.

“I would go there and just watch my brothers practice all the time,” she said within the docuseries. “I tried to be around my brothers whenever I could.”

She continued, “We always had a good time and I loved being around them. So when they had to work and travel, I missed them.”

Janet has nine siblings and is the youngest of the bunch. They include Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, LaToya, Marlon, Randy, Brandon, and Michael Jackson.
