The nephew of Hall of Fame singer Janet Jackson torched his aunt publicly by saying he’s “never liked” her and other females’ “overly sexualized” concerts and videos.
In particular, a fan asked TJ Jackson about his aunt Janet’s sexually provocative performance of “Would You” where Janet simulates oral sex on a fan strapped to a table onstage.
“I never liked when she did this in concerts either,” he wrote about his aunt on Twitter. He also indicated he doesn’t accept this behavior from other major female stars either.

TJ Jackson, 44, later tried to clarify that he wasn’t aiming his ire at his aunt Janet Jackson, 56, but was mostly speaking of the other women who have recently churned out risqué and even vulgar music and videos.

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

Janet, as she is most often referred to, was defended by scores of supporters, prompting TJ Jackson to clarify himself again.

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.

No. Never would. It was in response to WAP. But people on Twitter live for drama. I’ll never be cool with our girls seeing flashy imagery of our women & thinking it’s cool to say “there’s some hoes in the house” over and over… I respect my kind too much. It is what it is though.

Though TJ Jackson insists that he was not attacking his ultra-famous aunt, fans were not trying to hear his explanations or clarifications.
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! pic.twitter.com/Usr3zCfOvG

I hope @tjjackson is happy with his 15 minutes of viral content at the expense of his aunt. 😒 pic.twitter.com/tRrYlHTttl

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?
