According to National Enquirer Knowles appeared to put down the Jackson family in a recent interview with Elle magazine by stating,

“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.”

Word is that Ms. Janet plans to confront Beyonce about her comments! Beyonce side of the story will probably go like this "I was misquoted and that’s not what I meant to say” What are your thoughts?
