The 'Rhythm Nation' singer allegedly lets her inexperienced brother Randy Jackson, who is a 'Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist,' control her career and listens to him.

AceShowbiz - Janet Jackson sings about "control," but she may be handing it over to the wrong person. The pop star has not apologized after she came under fire for her comments on Kamala Harris and people in her inner circle blame her brother and manager Randy Jackson (II) for her camp's chaotic attempts to manage the situation.

In the wake of the controversy, sources tell Page Six that the PR disaster proves that "Randy is too inexperienced to handle her affairs and has become too loud a voice in her ear." The "Control" songstress reportedly lives "in the bubble" and listens to her brother Randy, who is "Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist."

"How can she sing about 'Rhythm Nation' and make comments like that?" a baffled insider wonders. "It doesn't even sound like her. She's so methodical. I don't know what made her do this."

The source claims that Janet, who lives in London, "doesn't really watch the news anymore. She does live in a bubble." They add, "Janet's bubble is small, and she listens to Randy. She does peddle in conspiracy theories."

As to how Janet and Randy are handling the situation amid backlash over her comments on Kamala, another source spills, "Janet and Randy's attitude was to just let it blow over. They weren't planning to address it."

"[Randy's] sabotaging her legacy because he's not saavy. She's giving Randy control, and no one understands how he's managing her, when he's never had a career," the source claims, expressing their concerns. "She pays for everything."

As for Mo Elmasri, who claimed to be Janet's former manager and was fired following the criticism over her statements about Kamala, multiple source insist, "No one [in her camp] knows who he is!"

"It's completely out of the blue. No one has ever heard of this guy, not any breath of him," one insider shares. Another source says they've "never heard of this guy's name in my life," and believes "Randy brought him on."

Janet landed in hot water after her interview with The Guardian was published on Saturday, September 21. In the interview, she weighed in on the vice president's racial identity. "Well, you know what they supposedly said?" she said. "She's not black. That's what I heard. That she's Indian."

When the interviewer corrected the 58-year-old singer, "Well, she's both," she falsely insisted, "Her father's white. That's what I was told. I mean, I haven't watched the news in a few days." She added, "I was told that they discovered her father was white."

Mo, who presented himself as Jackson's manager, later issued an apology via Variety. The statement read, "Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity were based on misinformation."

"Janet respects Harris' dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today's society. Janet remains committed to promoting unity and understanding," it continued to read.

However, the apology was quickly dismissed as being unauthorized. Representatives for Michael Jackson's sister said that the singer has been managed by her brother Randy for many years.

Mo later told the Daily Beast that he was fired by the "Together Again" singer and her brother Randy due to disagreements after The Guardian published the article. "Janet Jackson fired me due to disagreements between me, her, and Randy, after her meeting with the Guardian and her unbalanced statements," he said in an emailed statement on Sunday.
