The Republican nominee made the comment that Harris “turned black” after she also spoke about her Indian heritage. While her mother is South Asian, her father is Jamaican, making her biracial.

“I think it’s very irresponsible, when you have a platform the way Janet Jackson has, to use that platform carelessly to spread misinformation based primarily on a racist allegation by Donald Trump,” Navarro continued. This has led to a broader conversation about misinformation and disinformation as one of the biggest problems facing the modern world.

Janet respects Harris’s twin heritage as Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values ​​the diversity that Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society. Janet remains committed to promoting unity and understanding.”

On Sunday, however, Jackson’s camp responded to the apology statement saying it was unauthorized and that Elmasri is not his supervisor. Jackson was managed by his brother Randy for years. Both are mourning the loss of their brother Tito, who passed away last Sunday.
