#BlackGirlsRock – 5 reasons Janet Jackson is a rock star
BET Africa broadcast the 2018 Black Girls Rock Awards ceremony on September 20, although they took place on August 26 in the US.
The awards celebrate black women’s accomplishments and this year Janet Jackson was honoured with the Black Girls Rock Rock Star Award for being a “phenomenal woman in music”.
Not only is Jackson deserving of the award but she has shown over the years she truly is a rock star. Here are five of the many reasons why.
Unfortunately, one of the incidents that will always be associated with Jackson is the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. The controversial slip is still being dissected 14 years after it happened. And although it was Justin Timberlake’s actions that revealed her jewel-covered nipple, Janet was harshly punished for the wardrobe failure. She was uninvited from the Grammys and her music was banned on MTV and some popular radio stations.
Despite efforts to ruin her career, Janet slowly revived it and is thriving again.
