ALBAWABA - American singer-songwriter and actress Janet Jackson went viral across social media after claiming in an interview that she heard that the US Vice President and current elect Kamala Harris is "not black" sparking debate on platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter).

During her interview with The Guardian, Jackson said, "She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian…Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white."

When asked if "America is ready for Harris" during her interview with The Guardian, Janet Jackson said, "Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know," indicating that there will not be a peaceful transition in power no matter who wins during the presidential elections and said: 

"I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem."

Donald J. Harris, Kamala Harris' father is an American-Jamaican writer who taught at Stanford University. He married American-Indian Shyamala Gopalan Harris who was a biomedical scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who passed away on Feb. 11, 2009.
