During an appearance on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Janet Jackson revealed that her family tree includes several prominent celebrities. She confirmed that Stevie Wonder, Tracy Chapman, and Samuel L. Jackson are all her cousins on her mother's side. Fans and host Scott Mills were visibly shocked by the revelations, especially since Samuel L. Jackson had previously denied being related to the Jackson family. Jackson, who is the youngest of nine siblings, also joked about the confusion regarding her shared last name with Samuel L. Jackson. Despite the surprising family connections, Jackson's illustrious career and her family's musical legacy continue to thrive.
