Representatives for Janet Jackson have clarified that a man claiming to be her manager, Mo Elmasri, has no official connection to the singer. Elmasri issued an unauthorized apology on Jackson's behalf regarding comments about Vice President Kamala Harris's race. Jackson's team, including her brother Randy Jackson, confirmed that Elmasri was not her manager and stated that her only manager is Randy. Elmasri later claimed he was fired by Janet and Randy Jackson for his attempts to improve her public image, which he felt were undeserved. The incident, which involved media outlets like BuzzFeed, Variety, and the Guardian, has led to confusion and controversy over the unauthorized statements and Elmasri's claims.
