Janet Jackson honoured her family

Janet Jackson spoke of her love for her parents, her siblings and her young son, two-year-old Eissa Al Mana. She said he wakes her each morning “singing his own little melodies.” Jackson said he is only two, but he is her heart, her life and had shown her the true meaning of unconditional love. While not naming Michael directly, Jackson mentioned her family’s incredible impact on popular culture, saying to her brothers that their baby sister had made it that night. Janelle Monae inducted Janet.
