Wednesday, May 28, 2025 -American music legend, Janet Jackson, left many surprised after saying she doesn’t see herself as a musical icon.
The 58-year-old superstar made the statement while receiving
the Icon Award at the 51st American Music Awards held
on May 26, 2025, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
According to Janet, she and her famous family, including her
late brother Michael Jackson, never set out to chase fame — they simply
had a deep love for music.
“I don’t
consider myself to be an icon. My family, myself — our dreams were never to be
famous. We weren’t raised like that,” she said.
“We always
had special love for music, dancing and singing. Fame came with the result of
hard work and dedication.”
Her statement has sparked conversations online, with many
praising her humility despite her decades-long impact on the global music
scene.
The Jackson family is widely regarded as one of
the most influential families in music history. From The Jackson 5 to
solo legends like Michael and Janet, the family has produced some of the
biggest stars in the industry.
Janet’s career spans over 40 years with global hits
like Rhythm Nation, That’s The Way Love Goes, and Together
Again.
