Janet Jackson denies link to apology over Kamala Harris comments, calls statement unauthorized

Recently, Janet Jackson's representatives said that an earlier apology issued on her behalf for comments made about Vice President Kamala Harris's racial background was not authorized. After all, the statement circulating on the web, supposedly posted by Jackson's manager, was later contradicted by her team as not speaking for the singer: the person who made the statements is no manager of Janet Jackson but a Mo Elmasri, who had no right to speak on Jackson's behalf.
The fiasco started with a press statement issued by Elmasri that Janet Jackson wanted to make an apology over her remarks about Harris' racial identity. Then, Jackson's camp immediately dismissed the authenticity of such a statement considering she "respects Harris' dual heritage as both Black and Indian." Whatever, she told the magazine that Elmasri was not connected with her. Interestingly, the magazine also revealed that Janet has been represented by her brother, Randy Jackson, for quite some time.
In an email, Elmasri says he is no longer Janet's manager and has since been fired by both Janet and Randy. He claims his work with Janet to clean up her public image was a waste as no one cared about what he could do for them. The 63-year-old man claimed he is an ardent supporter of Kamala Harris but was only falsely linked to Jackson.
Further investigation of Elmasri's past shows that he is an Egyptian film producer and owns a consulting company, 24 East Agency. Even more than that, he claimed he was a creative consultant on behalf of several global stars including Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Selena Gomez. Although listed on the producers' list for an upcoming film about Janet Jackson, his relation with this artist has been challenged.
The controversy has arisen in Janet Jackson's latest interview on *The Guardian* where she was talking about concerns over the recent U.S. election and racial background of Harris. In this interview, Jackson was unsure whether Harris was an African-American or not as she claimed to be told she wasn't but Indian. When corrected on Harris' background by her mother being an Indian and father a Jamaican, Jackson continued claiming that she had been told it was otherwise: Harris' father being white.
Her remarks echoed previous President Donald Trump, who already doubted Harris' race before the campaign period began and said that Harris "turned Black." She was born white, but Trump claimed that Harris turned black for political benefits.
After the apology that was partly accredited to her gained substance, Janet Jackson's reps have been seen in a publicized statement denying the authenticity of the apology, stating that she had not sanctioned the release of such a statement. The reps are still busy in the situation; for now, Janet and her family are in mourning over the death of her elder brother Tito Jackson.
