AceShowbiz - TJ Jackson is not a fan of his aunt's raunchy stage acts. Janet Jackson, who has been dubbed one of R&B and pop icons, has been dissed by her nephew over her "overly sexualized" performers.
TJ weighed in on his aunt's sexy performances after a fan shared a clip of Janet performing "Would You" in concert, where she danced against, seductively touched and even insinuated oral sex on a fan strapped to a table. Commenting on the video, he tweeted, "I never liked when she did this in concerts either. I don't like when females are overly sexualized in art...it degrades and objectify's women in a way that's not healthy. I prefer the 'That's The Way Love Goes' Janet."
When a follower asked if he perhaps has "a different outlook on it because she's your literal aunt," TJ replied, "Nah...I didn't like it ...it just diminishes her amazing talent. But would love to hear your disagreement."
The son of Tito Jackson went to explain that he didn't mean disrespect to his aunt and that his comment goes to other female black celebrities. "I love black women. I wish you would respect the black women we put in our music videos and if you are really serious about making a difference stop supporting the negative image many female black celebs today portray. WAP was not a good look. That deserves your energy," he wrote in a separate tweet.
The 44-year-old singer followed it up with another positive message which read, "To all the black women out there.... know your worth. I truly believe you are the strongest beings on the planet. Don't sell yourself short. Become the queens you are meant to be. #lovealways."
Regardless his criticism, TJ still praised his aunt for being "a trailblazer and an icon." He added, "I agree. She wouldn't have had it any other way. She is a trailblazer and an icon. From Control to RN to All for You to Gone Till It's Gone…There will never be another JJ."
Though TJ made it clear that he meant no harm with his remarks, some people still called him out for his alleged disrespectful comments on Janet. "Not TJ Jackson on here policing black women and their sexuality, including saying that his own aunt being sexual diminished her talent. This coming from the Jacksons who barely popped. Then saying he loves black queens, but yet, won't procreate or marry one. During BHM!" tweeted one fan.
Another weighed in, "I hope @tjjackson is happy with his 15 minutes of viral content at the expense of his aunt." A third added, "I hardly ever see you post anything about your aunt Janet who has broken down barriers and broken records. Every time she does something huge it's crickets. You always give your uncle props which you should but where's the love for Janet? This is what you choose to say?"
