Amaarae lauds Janet Jackson, crowns her ‘King of Pop’ over Michael

Ghanaian-American singer, Amaarae has expressed her deep admiration for American singer and actress, Janet Jackson, naming her the King of Pop over her brother, Michael Jackson.

While speaking on the impact of Janet Jackson’s 1997 album ‘The Velvet Rope’ Pitchfork, Amaarae explained the reasons for her opinion, stressing that all of Janet’s musical projects are fantastic.

She also noted that her opinion is not meant to disrespect Michael Jackson in any way.

“Every Janet Jackson’s album is fantastic. But ‘The Velvet Rope’ is the best. If I was conscious in 1997 when the album dropped, I would have played it nonstop. It’s so vulnerable, sexy, aggressive and experimental. Janet, to me, is the real king of pop. No shade to Michael Jackson,” she said.
