This may not be a Beyonce wardrobe malfunction, but it may possibly turn out to be a Beyonce interview malfunction. Reportedly Janet Jackson is furious at Beyonce Knowles-Carter after the singer made remarks in an interview that Janet Jackson took as rude about The Jackson’s and belittling her parents.

In an interview, Beyonce is stated to have bragged about going to a private school, her father driving a Jaguar and the Knowles being an African-American family that works together.

“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like The Jackson’s. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation,” Beyonce reportedly told a reporter according to National Enquirer.

Allegedly an insider told the magazine that Janet Jackson blew up over the comments.

Here’s what the insider had to say:

“Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that. Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They’re not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she’s from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats. Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars. Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she’s planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act.”

In other news, reports are circulating that Beyonce may lose her chance at an Oscar nomination for the song “Once in a Lifetime” for the movie Cadillac Records. Rumors are stating that Beyonce didn’t write on the song and the lead writer for the song, Scott McFaron, according to the LA Times, had the song on YouTube before the movie was even made and the only difference was that the song had been re-arranged. Allegedly the song already had three writers and can only have three to be nominated which included Amanda Ghost, and Ian Dench. Since news about the song has been circulating, Scott McFaron has taken down his YouTube videos and made changes to his Myspace.

Well.
Beyonce is starting to become toooooo gabby as they call it. She should choose her words when being interviewed. I understand she has her family and
body guards around her 24/7 but in this industry, ppls feelings and reputation is money……..in this international world. She have made it… so slow down
and be a wife/entertainer/daughter/sister and mom…… get out of the dog and cat fight of entertainment. Diva’s are going to fight her for limelight and money to keep the reputation in high standards. Look at: Mariah , J Lo , …..These are Diva’s that are trying to slow down/ Married with children.

WTF! I don’t get the controversy. That’s what The Jacksons: An American Dream basically said. So, if Janet has beef, she should talk to Jermaine. He was the Producer of it.

calm down…it says “allegedly” so no one knows exactly what beyonce said….and Janet didn’t respond in a tasteful manner either (if either side is true, which i doubt cause the media always tries 2 start rifts btw successful black entertainers) but watever

DON’T BELIEVE THIS PEOPLE. This is once again the work of haters. Rihanna’s people already admitted to putting out lies and rumors to enhance or non-singing career and this is no different. HATERS ARE MAD THAT BEYONCE IS CONSISTENT. That’s the bottom line. They put out rumors and instigate things that didn’t happen, all in hopes of belittling Beyonce. THEY SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR A TRUE TALENT instead of trying to tear her down. Same thing with the OSCAR song. Beyonce’s name IF DROPPED wouldn’t be DUE TO “REARRANGING” credit. IT’LL BE DUE TO THE 3 NAME MINIMUM. ARE YOU WRITING THAT HARVEY WEINSTEIN GOT DROPPED FROM THE NOM NAMES FOR PROJECT RUNWAY becaue there were too many names? Of course, not. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A PERSON TRYING TO TAKE CREDIT. ALL THESE OTHER ARTISTS PLAY THEMSELVES IN PUBLIC AND IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES AND YOU HAVE A WOMAN DOING IT RIGHT AND YOU’RE COMPLAINING.
STOP HATING ON BEYONCE - IT’S OLD, WACK AND PLAYED OUT.

I REMEMBER HER SAYING THIS FOR YEARS BUT IT WAS NEVER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT HOW IT’S BEING DONE NOW WITH THIS NEGATIVE TWIST. Beyonce has made this comment FOR YEARS and it was never a problem and now it is? Knock it off - SHE’S SAID THIS EACH TIME SHE’S ASKED AND HAVE BEEN COMPARED TO THE JACKSONS. She didn’t pull this out the air - the interviewer brings it up. She’s never said she was privileged, better or any of that nonsense. She’s only ALWAYS said that her parents supported her and didn’t depend on her or force her like Joe Jackson did and that’s A VERY TRUE statement. Everybody can say what they want, but as soon as she hints at something it’s taken out and overboard. Stop hating and keep doing you Beyonce.

“Scott McFaron has taken down his YouTube videos and made changes to his Myspace.” VERY TRUE…on Friday 12/26 I was on his site and it was written to the effect that Beyonce has sung his song “Once In a Lifetime” and listen to the song on Youtube. If Beyonce wants to be taken serious by her peers in the industry and the industry card holders, she will need to be little more original, forthcoming to truly live up to the status she aspires to be…an ICON

Although, Limelight is money…. in the business. No one is talking about the comeback of Britney Spears…. She is doing the copy of everything B is doing to make it up for her year lost….. So lets get off of the Sister’s war trying to get limelight. such as Rhianna, Ciara, Keysha Cole, Ashanti , Alicia Keys these are all Diva’s that are trying to get Lime light Time which is Money….,

I don’t believe this story at all, just do to the fact that Janet and Beyonce are friends, and have been every since the Destiny’s Child’s days. Plus, Janet doesn’t get upset that easily. Something that small wouldn’t have made her go in an “up roar”. Complete tabloid trash.

LMAO, when has anyone ever compared Beyonce’s family to the Jacksons? Never, that’s what. She only has one other sibling (who doesn’t do anything). She making up shit now, just so she can talk about herself. And I swear I remember her saying just the opposite (how hard she had to work, blazay blah).

That said, the new article is most likely fabricated. Janet could care less what Beyonce and her poor dialect speech self put her foot in her mouth again about..

first of all,this is not the work of haters. Beyonce said that and meant that when she said it. I am from Galveston,TX and we all know Beyonce thought she was all that as a girl growing up around here. Nobody liked Beyonce’s stuck up ass and no one fooled with her like that. We all heard the stories and i wasn’t even living in Galveston at the time she lived there but everyone around here knows that Beyonce always had a big head and it seems to have gotten bigger than the planet earth. I won’t lie, I do not like Beyonce as an idol or as a person. I see right through her as do all the people who live in the Houston/Galveston area. The only morons that buy her album are people who live outside of Texas. Sorry guys/gals that comment included you too.

Upper class & Private Schools….pssst someone should ask for their MONEY BACK with that dialect!! Please tell me these people are lying!! Reading bibles before shows getting naked then screaming shy & reserved counteract by calling it Sasha Fierce……gosh we are some high level hypocrites! Oh and African American/ BLACK gosh…..one House “N” must be better than the Field One….come on give me a BREAK……My family didn’t need to live off my earnings are you kidding but I bet Latavia & Latoya did oops…..they don’t matter. Didn’t this group have another Manager that died then Big Daddy took over? Isn’t that the New BLACK Pot calling the Mature Kettle BLACKY!!

Oh and FORCE to work … how about force to leave…LATAVIA & LATOYA and the other one out because if YOU don’t BOW down to the Master you will be forced to Leave a Group you worked just as Hard for! Furthermore, some people were forced to work while they we’re sick and their Mother forced off the bus to care for loved one and Forced to stay in the BackGROUND so that others may be taken as the LIGHT one……………so FORCE comes in many different ways……most people wouldn’t force their Mother but they would their next door Neighbor/////

Joe Jackson DID force those boys out of their childhood to get fame and fortune. I’m not saying he didn’t make a wise choice for his family, but the statement Beyonce allegedly said is true. Beyonce is just saying she was not forced into stardom. She earned it. On the contrary, if it had not been for her TALENTED brothers, Janet would be unkown like the rest of us. Janet is no Michael Jackson or Beyonce! Beyonce is keeping it real even down to her physical attributes where Janet has lied about marriages, nose job, boob job and the fact that she can sing. Janet actually believes she can sing and convinced alot of other people too…so much so that she has opened the door to a legion of non-singers who are successful.

@ Vee, Even if that were the case, (which it may not be because the media lies), who is she to even say that. Plus I don’t look @ her & her family like The Jacksons so why would she go out of her way to say something like that about Them.

Hey, Styles-P.

Does that include allowing her hub, Jay, to participate in sex parties with men? If you don’t know the story, you should before popping that. Janet is still fly and IS an ICON. Beyonce is the one whom her dad FORCED upon the other members. He wanted them to get tans in order for her to stand out. The whole Knowles family is even MORE bugged than the Jacksons’ ever were, lol. All these black entertainers are closeting their feelings and showing up straight when there’s more than meets the eye. Rumors have some basis in reality. Some are actually leaks that people want ot stop, so they say the same shit over and over again, hoping the propaganda goes away. Beyonce is ok, but she is a beard to Jay Z, who DOES sleep with other men. When you have lots of available cash…… a trip to the gyn with some sperm will just about do the trick. Look at Travolta and Cruise and the whole crazy lot in Hollywood. Please stop with your Middle America naiety…… it’s a bit much.
