    Janet Jackson may not like interviews, but her latest with the BBC is certainly grabbing attention, as she revealed three fellow celebrities to be her biological cousins.

    The BBC Radio 2 Q&A found the host asking if a longstanding rumor of the Jacksons being related to Stevie Wonder was true, with the Rhythm Nation legend confirming its validity before revealing two other stars as also being blood relatives.

    “He’s our cousin,” she said of the Songs In The Key Of Life artist. “Not a lot of people know that, he’s our cousin on our mother’s side. So is Tracy Chapman …. so is Samuel L. Jackson, ” she added, shocking the host who was left in disbelief. Check out the clip below.

    The reveal follows reports of the songstress gearing up for a Las Vegas residency , with sources claiming that she is in “the final stages” of signing a deal with Resorts World. The tentative plan is for the residency to begin in December, as Janet reportedly has plans to “ring in the New Year with a special [New Year’s Eve] performance.”

    If confirmed, it would be her first Sin City residency since 2019 when she performed at the Park MGM from May through August. The run grossed the star $13 million.

    “Fans will follow her path to self-love, empowerment, motherhood and activism, amidst the challenges faced along her personal journey,” read the show’s description. “She encourages her audiences to find their own light within themselves through her Metamorphosis.”
