Kicking off the conversation, Scott asked the singer if she was related to Stevie Wonder .
“Now someone told me this earlier, are you related to Stevie [Wonder]?” Scott asked.
“He’s our cousin,” Janet confirmed.
“Not a lot of people know that. He’s our cousin on my mother’s side.”
While being related to Stevie is already a big shock, Janet shared that she was related to a famous singer and iconic actor.
“So is Tracy Chapman,” she continued before adding, “So is Samuel L. Jackson.
“He would be a cousin, too. I mean, he’s not my brother.”
Despite Janet’s claims to be related to Samuel , the Snakes on a Plane actor previously denied having ties to the Jackson family.
In a 2017 interview with Wired , Samuel was asked if he and Janet’s famous brother, Michael Jackson , were related.
“Nope,” Samuel swiftly replied in the clip.
In addition to revealing her three famous cousins, Janet is one of nine children , five of whom were famously known as The Jackson 5 .
The Jackson 5 consisted of Michael, Jackie , Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon Jackson.
