The Grammys needed to honor Janet Jackson in an enormous method final weekend, however TMZ has realized these talks fizzled after discussions on methods to handle the best way CBS handled Jackson after her notorious Super Bowl Halftime efficiency.
Sources linked to The Grammys inform us โฆ the Grammys needed to bestow Janet with a Global Impact Award, however there was a snag. Recording Academy honchos needed Janet to attend a pre-Grammy occasion with the Black Music Collective days earlier than the primary occasion to simply accept the award, however her schedule would not enable it.
From there, weโre instructed discussions pivoted to a method Janet may obtain the dignity through the precise broadcast, however that offered one other downside โฆ CBS by no means made amends with Janet for making her persona non grata after the wardrobe malfunction.
It was Super Bowl XXVIII, broadcast on CBS, when Justin Timberlake ripped Janetโs high, revealing her breast. The community acquired a ton of flack over the incident, and CBS CEO ย Les Moonves pulled Janetโs invite to the Grammys that yr.
Our sources say Janetโs workforce and Grammy organizers started speaking about methods CBS may both apologize or determine a approach to acknowledge how she was handled by the community, however issues simply bought too sophisticated and talks ended.
