Exclusive - Janet Jackson breaks her silence on Michael Jackson's Legacy after the release of Leaving Neverland documentary

Janet Jackson has finally broken her silence on Micheal Jackson's legacy after the release of 'Leaving Neverland' documentary which included allegations of sexual assault on minors by the late Pop King.

 



The 53-year-old singer and mother of one spoke with The Sunday Times, and opened up about the legacy left behind by her brother as she confronts the sexual allegations against the legendary musician and performer

 

Speaking about her brother’s legacy to the outlet, she said: 

 

“[His legacy] will continue. I love it when I see kids emulating him, when adults still listen to his music. It just lets you know the impact that my family has had on the world. I hope I’m not sounding arrogant in any way. I’m just stating what is. It’s really all God’s doing, and I’m just thankful for that.”

 

In the interview,  Janet avoided making comments on 'Leaving Neverland', despite previous reports that she reportedly opted out of performing at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony because it airs on HBO, the same network that aired the Leaving Neverland' documentary.

Exclusive - Michael Jackson's music pulled from Radio Stations after allegations that the late singer sexually abused children

In the wake of the controversial Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, where it was alleged that the late singer sexually abused children, his music will no longer be played on Canadian and New Zealand radio stations.


“Michael Jackson isn’t currently on any MediaWorks Radio stations’ playlists,” MediaWorks radio director Leon Wratt shared in an official statement. “This is a reflection of our audiences and their preferences — it is our job to ensure our radio stations are playing the music people want to hear.”
MediaWorks rival NZME will also no longer play Michael Jackson records. “NZME station playlists change from week to week and right now Michael Jackson does not feature on them,” NZME entertainment director Dean Buchanan explained to the New Zealand Herald.

A publicly-funded New Zealand station, Radio NZ, added that it will only play Jackson’s songs if they contribute to a particular story or “provide color around a commentary piece.”

In Canada, three well-known Montreal stations have removed Michael Jackson’s music from their rotations as well, while many other Canadian companies are monitoring the situation to see how it develops.
