First I do not know who is Janelle Monáe and frankly, I don’t really care now.
The American singer posted a video of her recreating the balcony incident which occurred in Berlin’s Adlon Hotel in November 2002.
Currently on tour in Europe, she posted a parody clip on her Instagram, dressed like Michael in a red shirt and a short black wig, dangled a robotic dog over the balcony of her hotel and the backlash was immediate!
“The fact that @JanelleMonae is so classless now and attacking @JanetJackson brother Michael Jackson who has been dead over 15 years is pathetic and sad. Janelle I hope you never have to face his sister now because what you did was sick and evil and you know it!” wrote one X user.
“Not sure what made @JanelleMonae think it was a good idea to re-enact a low point in Michael Jackson’s career 22 years after it happened and 15 years after his death,” added another.
“Janelle Monàe lost all my respect today. Ain’t nothing funny about that. LET MICHAEL JACKSON REST IN PEACE,” tweeted a third person.
“I’m still upset about Janelle disrespecting Michael like that! It was gross!,” a fourth fan wrote.
Monáe since deleted the video (which we will not share here by respect to Michael) but the damage is done.
