Janet Jackson drops new album 'Black Diamond', tells Fallon her favorite 'nasty' lyrics came from a bad incident
The vocal powerhouse Janet Jackson appeared on tonight’s episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ and had a pleasant surprise for her fans. The singer announced her new album ‘Black Diamond’, her first in five years since ‘Unbreakable’ saw the fore.
While on Fallon’s show, the singer revealed that the favorite lyrics from her new album are “Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty”, which have become iconic were born out of an unpleasant experience. Janet said she and her friend were once on the way to their dance class when they ran into a few older boys. She said, “I didn’t like it very much. I was very embarrassed and pretty upset” as they started messing with her and her friend, calling them names. Although the incident remains a bitter memory for Jackson, she decided to turn her experience into a song and that’s how nasty was made.
When Jimmy asked her if she knew the lyrics would become iconic she responded, “No. You’re just creating music. You never know, I never did.” When the crowd showered her with applause, she quipped, “I get it from everybody.”
Janet Jackson’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show has also stirred a lot of reactions on social media.
While one fan wrote, “Yes @JanetJackson she looks amazing in @FallonTonight I really liked the interview and I was excited to see her so beautiful and so smiling”
