It’s hard to believe that Michael Jackson has been gone for ten years, but it’s true. June 25, 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of his passing, and although he’s still facing multiple legal issues after his death, many still consider him one of the greatest artists of all time. Unfortunately, some have turned away from Jackson and his music, since new allegations of sexual abuse have surfaced.

Janet was visibly upset after Michael’s passing, yet wasted no time to give him a touching tribute during the BET Awards in 2009, just days after he passed at the age of 50.
Years later, that love is still apparent as Janet is coming to her brother’s aid once again. In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Janet reveals that she isn’t concerned with whatever allegations are flying around. She believes in her brother and the impact his music has left on the world…
