Celeb Lady GaGa

Janet Jackson on Tupac

‘Pac was just silly,’ Jackson says of the late rapper, who was shot dead in Las Vegas three years after the film’s release. ‘He was completely different from what people knew.

‘Not that it was an act, the person that the world knew, because that was him, too. I adored him; he liked to play and laugh.

‘I remember when he said he was going back into LA to get a tattoo. And, I said, “Why are you going to LA? We’re not supposed to leave, we have to shoot tomorrow.”

‘He looked at me and said, “Square!’ she says, laughing. ‘When he came back he showed me the tattoo he got on his stomach. He was sweet. Granted, there was another side, but he wouldn’t just snap or go crazy out of nowhere.

There had to be something that triggered that. I miss him,’ she says softly.

Janet Jackson on Gaga

She met Lady Gaga recently backstage at one of the flamboyant star’s concerts.
‘We had a good conversation,’ Jackson says. ‘She asked a lot of questions and I felt she really listened to what I had to say. I love how she puts melody in music and I think that has been lost in a lot of music.

It’s a little reminiscent of Grace Jones, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s a little left and over the top, but still good and fun. It’s exciting to see what she is going to do next.’
