Janet Jackson Furious with Beyonce
By Cara | December 28, 2008
Beyonce is sitting on top of her piles of scratch talking about eating gold and buying flying ponies while simultaneously pissing off Janet Jackson. Knowles did an interview that bragged about her comfortable upbringing that involved nice cars and higher education.
“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like The Jackson’s. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
After reading about her comments, Janet Jackson was livid. She took B’s comments as a direct jab at her humble beginnings in a small Indiana community. An “insider” told the National Enquirer about Janet’s fury over the comments.
“Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that. Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They’re not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she’s from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats.
Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars. Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she’s planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act.”
Yes! This is what I am talking about. Nothing like a good Diva VS. Diva to bring in the New Year. My money is on Janet. I am betting she is scrappy. Although, Beyonce strikes me as the type to cut a bitch for less.

yeah right b dat’s y before u became popular and ur dad used you to make money for himself and set up a record label he was a sales man
December 28th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
beyonce thinks she had it all back then but im pretty sure ur dad uses her more than papa jackson did with his kids… at least papa jackson didnt have to halt other talented artists who were in destinys child so that his lil B could be famous… Janet made it on her own accord not on the dispense of others!

Did Beyonce really say this? My god, why can’t this chick learn to keep her mouth shut. That child needs an education. She is as dumb as a doorknob.
December 29th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
I can’t believe Beyonce said this. I HOPE it is not true.
If Beyonce DID say it, I’m on Janet’s side (and I’m not even a fan of hers). Who the hell does Beyonce think she is with that straight-from-the-Marcy-Projects hubby of hers??! She was educated at private schools?? Funny, but she doesn’t SOUND like she was.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
my personal interpretation…Beyonce considers her upbringing as “high class” ??? really?? then whats with all those trashy outfits her mother used to design for her and the rest of destiny’s child?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
[...] about love *yawn* and I’m supposed to believe you hustle? Didn’t you say you grew up ridin in a Jaguar??? what kind of hustling were u doing? Posing is for models, and playing pretend is for 5 year [...]

She just went from Diva to trifling ho…..damn Jay put a muzzle on dat
December 31st, 2008 at 3:50 pm
I like Beyonce and I’m a big fan. But that comment about the jacksons just made me rethink that. How can you say something like that all in one breath like your shit don’t stink Dam B I will not be buying your new album or any more for that matter.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I cant believe beyonce would say such a thing.
Im on Jantet’s side if this is true cause beyonce had no right what so ever to say that She doesnt know janet like that to say that.

I never like Beyonce any way. I always thought their was sneakyness behind those eyes. But for her to talk about Janet and her family and she doesn’t even know her that was real wrong. She wouldn’t like if no one said that she steals all the spotlight. That’s why Destiny Child broke up so many times cause she wanted to be the center of attention and I’m happy the ones that realized it left. And for a little bit advice for Beyonce in order to receive sucess you have to have a struggle. What Janet and her family went through was struggle that’s why she’s sucessful now. See Beyonce you probably never been broke and I have to sleep outside in boxes so for you to take it that far it was very imature. Word of advice grow up. And stay out of others people’s business especially when it comes to their family.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:56 pm
I just wish that Beyonce realize that if she came up like that, she needs to be Thanking God and praying that she have not cursed herself by putting down another family to build up hers. I am proud of both families but I am kind of ashamed to see another black person down another. It is too much of that going on already in our society.
January 3rd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Beyonce that comment must not have been fully thought through.
January 4th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
In Beyonce’s world of lip gloss and glitter eyeshadow, she may not think that she had a father who used her to get out of a bad situation. But in reality she only had a father who felt totally comfortable teaching her how to dance in 5 inch heels when she was 11, then dressing her up in stripper clothes and watching those gyration lessons pay off on stage, then pimping her out to every record label executive willing to watch or listen. Now, that’s real love. Oh, and Beyonce needs to google her daddy. Even her own momma said on her true hollywood story that he got fired from his fancy job and the houses kept getting smaller and smaller while he continued to spend like he had long money. This child is delusional!
January 5th, 2009 at 9:20 am
THAT WAS DEAD WRONG FOR B TO SAY THAT ABOUT THE JACKSONS. SEE HOW PEOPLE GET WHEN THEY GET THERE HEAD IN THE CLOUDS. B THINKING SHE ALL THAT AND THEN SOME. IM SO UPSET WITH B RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THAT COMMENT WASN’T CALLED FOR. WHO CARES HOW U BECAME A STAR AND GOT MONEY.. JUST DO U AND WORRY BOUT YA DAMN SELF. I HOPE SHE DONT THINK THAT SOMETHING BAD CANT HAPPEN TO HER AND MAKE HER CAREER GO DOWN THE DAMN DRAIN. B… MAKE MONEY, DONT LET THE MONEY MAKE U… GET IT TOGETHER B!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
if i was janet jackson i would have beat her ass we would have been throwing bows and sorry bout your brother
January 6th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Whoop that trick Janet!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2009 at 4:01 am
ohh please!!! The girl only said the truth about how parents shamlessly feed of the success thier children in the music industry. The jackson’s was a classic example……The “The Jacksons: An American” Dream movie clearly depicted that. This young woman, being african american with a career which started at the same age probably as the Jacksons, made a simple contrast……the message from beyonce’s statement was that she had responsible parents that loved and had her best interest at heart…..Her proper upbringing is what has made her in the hardworking woman she is today. What Janet needs to confront is the fate of her career and the idea of starting a family since she’s not getting younger…..not this young woman.
January 10th, 2009 at 10:01 am
i will always love beyonce at least she has a husband
January 10th, 2009 at 10:02 am
go beyonce!!!! go beyonce!!!!!!!!!go beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love u and your family. just make sure ya’ll cook me some fry chicken next time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing is ever black or white; there will always be shades. Like most kids, Beyonce probably never knew if she was being used or not, if even slightly. Kids can be easily manipulated. What loving dad or mom wants their child prancing around in public in super skimpy outfits?
Only the ones who are driven and see the gold at the end of the rainbow and hope (here’s the black and white of it) that it pays off for the entire family in a positive way. It did; big time! I understand Mommy and Daddy B had their share of money problems and breakups, and perhaps Beyonce was too young and into her own world (as most kids are)to notice the problems. That she didn’t, says perhaps that her parents loved their kids enough to keep the problems away from them. Sometimes that’s not helpful for their growth and sometimes it is.. black and white, remember? But, It takes obsessed concentration to be a success; Beyonce has this. So did Trump and Madonna? However, the old saying stands true: If you don’t have anything nice to say; say nothing… especially about someone else’s family. Beyonce’s still growing and will learn much as she grows. So, tell her what you think, but applaud her success, and let’s get on with living our lives to our OWN potential.
January 16th, 2009 at 8:39 am
Beyonce needs to stay in her lane. If she wants to be a diva, then she should concentrate on that, not on what Rhianna, Janet or anyone else is doing. After all these years you would think that Beyonce would be a little more interview savvy than that. Janet is a legend period and regardless of the Jackson’s past, it wasn’t up to Beyonce to comment especially when they don’t even know each other.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Beyonce isn’t a Diva, perhaps a spoiled brat, but she does nto have Diva status, the long history, and no where near the talent (as a dancer of many years and I ahve worked with Tina Landon as well, Beyonce need to learn some talent). Honestly Beyonce’s music is boring, nothign but remakes, and she lied abotu writing songs she had nothing to do with. This child shouldn’t make comments about a woman. Beyonce is pretty much done as an entertainer and doesn’t have much to show for it. I don’t even listen to her garbage.
February 8th, 2009 at 9:22 am
DAMN B I THOUGHT U WAS A GOOD PERSON BUT NOW I C THAT U JUST THINK UR 2 GOOD 4 PEOPLE WHY WOULD U SAY THAT ABOUT JANET AND HER FAMILY LIKE THAT WAS WRONG IT DNT MATTER IF JANET WAS’NT RICH BACK THEN SHE’S RICH NOW AND IF BEYONCE THINKS HAD DAD DIDNT USE HER THEN SHE’S DUMBER THAN I THOUGHT SHE WAS
February 8th, 2009 at 9:27 am
BEYONCE IS SO DUMB YEAH SHE CAN DANCE AND SING BUT THE BITCH IS 2 STUCK UP 4 ME SHE DIDNT HAVE 2 SAY NOTHUNG ABOUT JANET JACKSON. LIKE WHAT WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE PARENTS HAD MONEY SO FUCKING WHAT AND IF SHE WANTS 2 TALK ABOUT SOMEONE’S PARENT USING THEM SHE NEEDS 2 TAKE A LOOK AT HER DAD HE’S THE 1 THAT HAD BEYONCE DANCING AROUND IN HOOKER SHOES AT THE AGE OF 14 DID SHE 4GET ABOUT THAT THAT HOE IS SO DINGY
February 10th, 2009 at 5:02 am
I love them both. Beyonce is a diva and yes she is wrong for what she said about janet and her family. That’s y janet is so successful now, because of the struggles she went through. Beyonce is still young and just needs to watch how she say certain things. I don’t think she meant any harm. Janet, keep doin your thing girl. Beyonce just needs to apologize. I don’t think she meant anything by her comment. But she’s a bad B…T too.
March 29th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
So ridiculous everyone who says well its the truth whether its the truth or a lie it wasn’t in her place to say that! I’m sure thaat all those that think its ok for her to say have something about themselves or their family that they would prefer not to be mentioned especially in a negative light 4the world to hear. So keep it real and have a heart. I don’t think beyonce said it on purpose to infuriate anyone or hurt them I think its how she feels when she hears the comparisons between her family and the jacksons and she made a mistake and let it slip so either way she is wrong sorry everyone yes b is a nice performer but she too makes mistakes and this time she is wrong
April 14th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Oh, get over it Janet. Everyone knows that your father is crazy and worked your brothers from sun up till sun down to get your family where they are today. Your own sister wrote about it so why in the world hate Beyonce for just saying what you already know. It’s no secret that your family has some serious issues. Just ask Michael. You all have made it big and good for you but lets keep it real.
April 18th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Well then, Beyonce, that just makes Janet’s family better than yours, doesn’t it? That just makes their success more worthwile, doesn’t it? It makes it seem like you didn’t even have to work that hard to get where you are. And we all know that you did work hard! So why even mention someone else’s family if you did have to work hard! Stop blabbering and just sing and dance. Now you’re gonna get it. Janet had no reason to say how she really felt about you, but you brought this on yourself.
June 26th, 2009 at 7:52 am
RIP Micheal Jackson. Forever at heart! love u and the Jacksons.
For u Beyonce!
Who the hel do yah think u are to say som like that about other people? And btw people who come from a high class and have some brains never brag about telling every1 how they went to priv.schs and rode in “jaguars” please B get a life???? How did ur father get that jaguar???? hhe hustled man, so everybody hustles to get to where thy are!!! BTW u can never and nevr get close to where Janet is, shes a real Diva! How many people would remember you if u had died??? have you ever tot of that? u have fans but m pretty sure they are not evn close to half of wot Janet has?? look at some of our parents, u tel them thats beyonce, and thy like whos she?? but when janet comes up on MTV or somthing, then there they start tellin about their life way back and the music they always listened to…. Janet has been in the game for long and your just a newbie…cant you realize that huh???? Get a life B! BTW i dont like you!!! it al started way back when i used to watch the vids of destiny’s child! i used to as myself why u always wanted to be the one that caught peoples attention and for that i hated you coz u never tot of the rest!! u just wanted to have it all and you did! i liked n stil do the other gals of destiny’s but u never wil i!

June 26th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
You’re all stupid! Who cares? They’re both loaded and live in a world none of us could ever dream of. Pop-drama makes you a TOOL.

Beyonce needs be boycoted if that is possible.
First of all to prove that the statement is true lately stated..”Beyonce is Fake”, just watch what else she does since Michael Jackson “The King of PoP” died. She proves it herself that she does not have anything but her Azz to shake all over the public!! Lately right after MJ’s passing, and after the BET Awards honoring MJ, where Alicia Keys received a Humanitarian Award, Beyonce is now doing a commerical about Feed the Children. Well Beyonce, where were you when all the love was being shared by Michael Jackson and Alicia Keys and numerous others and organizations caring about children all over the globe? These issues in the world did not just happen, they always exsist. And now all of a sudden you want someone to recogonize you for doing something that you should have been doing for others long time ago, just to receive the same recoginition they have for years. How selfish and hypocritical of you, to use such a sensitive issue, that is well notice, just so you can say you have it all. Well when it really comes down to want really counts in life and from the heart, Beyonce does not have nothing but what she and her Daddy and Mamma has used all her life to get them ahead, “her booty shakin”. She is not an original, she is fake and insecure, and have to be the best and on top. Well to bad, will never happen. And as far as respect for those have been before her time, she needs to be openly exposed for having a hat sewed to the back of her custome mocking the Lady of Soul” Aretha Franklin. Watch out Beyonce, for it is written: Pride go before destruction, and a Haughty spirit before a fall! Take heed. Sit down and take a long look at the “Woman in the Mirror”. Money is not everything, and that is what you hide behind. You are not an example to the younger generation. Our young girls need to be taught respect and integrity. Michele Obama does not count for all women around the Globe. Maybe it is alright for her that she does not allow her daughters to watch TV, and use the Computer at certain times, but then on the other hand she will take them to a concert to watch you shake your azz before thousands mocking a women that really has soul, you will never be or achieve what those that you pretend to like, have. And lastly, stop using the misfortunate to get ahead and be to seen. Your intensions and motive is so obvious. You are a big disappointment!!!
July 10th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
I definitely agree with Daniel’s opinion. Beyonce Knowles is definitely not talented. She shake her “behind” during her concerts, videos, and reveals her body when not appropriate and then claims she will one day be an “icon”. Just how are you going to be an icon Miss B when you do not even appeal to the older generation and disrespect great R&B singers like Aretha Franklin? And then you decide to captilize on Michael Jackson’s death during your concerts when you know good and well you made that nasty comment about the Jacksons. It seems like you are very unreal and you forgot where you came from. But remember the fans made you B and they can break you!
July 13th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
B had no right to disrespect the Jacksons. She really need to tune it down a LOT. She really need to respect herself more.STOP wearing all those skanky looking outfits in her videos. She need to realize she’s married now. B has really gotten a big head lately. And what in the he## was she thinking with that sh#t she had on at the BET awards.”Girl Bye”
July 13th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
you no what gets me mad beyonce talks about michael jackson being her ‘inspiration’ and then she turns around and disrespect michaels family imagine how janet feels being called lower class and you no what the jackson actually worked and practiced and they got there unlike beyonce she had a dad in the bussiness and she just got there with out a sweat. man janet needs toshow her some real talent and up stage her
July 15th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Beyonce,
I have a bachelors of Science in Biology. I was raised in a real low income area in Brooklyn. Neither of my parents drove a Jaguar, or were well off, but they saw to it that I received the best education. What Brooklyn-born Jay Z saw in you, I have NOOOO idea! If you did not want your family to be compared to the Jackson’s, that’s OK. But to put your family on a pedestal, as if they were completely immune to imperfection is absurd. Lets see, your father was an adulturer, and a drug user, and your sister, Solange AKA Bristol Palin, managed to marry a man who knocked her up to keep the media quiet. Joe Jackson wanted the best for his children. He was extremely successful at doing so. You’re not very articulate. If you chose not to pursue a career in music, your chances of being admitted into Harvard, Yale, or any higher institution of learning would have been slim. My advice to you, read a newspaper. Maybe you would have a genuine understanding of the REAL WORLD instead of pretending to {For the Media}. You will never be as genuine as ALICIA KEYS, OPRAH WINFREY, or WYCLEF JEAN!
July 18th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
beyonce dose need to be quite because i consider janet jackson the queen of pop. i so agree with brooklyn its not like beyonce paying my bills its not like she helping people atleast alicia keys is helping people but other then that beyonce needs to shut the hell up because janet can take her down
July 18th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
did you see beyonce at the bet awards not one time she said anything about michael jackson when she came to get her award . and she talking about he is my inspiration.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Beyonce is no Diva! That single girl video was horrible! How can anyone say it should have won anything!
