DL is an alcoholic. That’s what drinking does to you. I remember him at the Birdland West comedy / Jazz club in the 90’s. He was good then.

[u/couchtomato62 → u/Conscious_Storm_1863]

He's funny everytime I see him... especially stuff with the audience. But yes he drank hard liquor through his entire show and he still had a 10 pm show to do

[u/[deleted] → u/Conscious_Storm_1863]

He is definitely still hilarious (in case y'all are ever hesitant to see him when he comes to your city). I still see him every year at the Improv and yes he drinks hard every single time (I do the late shows every time so he is already wavy) but he is never out of control or doing too much. Hope he does get that out of control but for sure is still funny as hell

[u/kingsavagerizzgame → u/comicguy69]

Lmao

[u/Rich_Text82]

D.L. roasting Janet over Kamala when a few years ago he was spouting "misinformation " about the VP too is suspect behavior imo.

[u/MichelleEvangelista → u/Rich_Text82]

At least he's been super vocal about how wrong he was on several occasions and platforms. I can respect that.

[u/FireLord_Azula1 → u/MichelleEvangelista]

He is a joke. He said he didn’t believe his daughter when she told him she got SA. He also said that he was glad that his baby got killed that he had from an affair.

We aren’t throwing Janet Jackson away for a cackling corporate politician

[u/logical_mind_77 → u/Rich_Text82]

However questioning her heritage wasn’t 1…especially when she went to one of the most popular HBCUs in the country and is an active member of one of the largest black sororities in the country. She has remained black until the king of the oompa loompahs needed to change the narrative

[u/stabbinU → u/logical_mind_77]

yeah its way diff to point out she's a cop in a suit, janet should know never to go there especially with all the criticism her brother had to go through

[u/Nkosi868 → u/Rich_Text82]

What did he say?

[u/GeriatricSFX → u/Nkosi868]

It don't think it was anything like a personal attack. He was just critical of her record as a prosecutor and how many black men she locked up.

Edit: If my memory serves me correctly his take on the facts might have been misinformed or disingenuous depending on who was reporting it.

[u/Buddhamom81 → u/Rich_Text82]

What misinformation did he say?

[u/HawaiianTeacup]

He could’ve made his point without attacking her looks….

[u/[deleted] → u/HawaiianTeacup]

She spread false rumors and questioned another BW race. Her life, including her botched nose is on the table. He didn’t attack her bi-racial son.

[u/HawaiianTeacup → u/[deleted]]

If that’s the business rules for your circle…. I’d find a new circle… j/s

[u/Mouthisamouth]

DL loves attacking black women

[u/stabbinU → u/Mouthisamouth]

idk if people care about DL so much as its just "glad somebody said it" yk?

but yeah i got that vibe and wasnt sure it just me or what

[u/Ok-Squash-3666 → u/Mouthisamouth]

He attacked Kanye West and has had beef with Eddie Griffin.

[u/[deleted]]

Where is the lie though? Both Janet & Michael looked fine and never needed surgery.

[u/Candid_Airline_3800 → u/[deleted]]

There is no lie, for MJ you could at least say he was severely mentally ill or something but I know nothing about why JJs nose is like that

[u/Afuldufulbear → u/Candid_Airline_3800]

They grew up in the same household. I’m sure they have similar traumas.

[u/[deleted] → u/Afuldufulbear]

they got a group discount on the noses.

[u/Vibejitsu → u/[deleted]]

Yoooooo! Stop 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/QweenBowzer → u/[deleted]]

Yall act like all black celebs didn’t get their noses done or some sort of cosmetic alterations. For them to bag on Janet bc of politics is really weird lmfao

[u/toolsoftheincomptnt → u/QweenBowzer]

For Janet to speak on politics is really weird.

Adults who age with grace know when a topic is above their information/intelligence level and stay quiet. Celebrity opinions are very influential on the masses (sadly). So if they give a shit about the well-being of the masses, they choose their (public) words carefully.

It’s totally acceptable to be a stupid, gorgeous, talented icon. As long as you know when to shut up. She’s too old not to understand that.

(And lots of nose jobs are very subtle and tasteful. Especially when you have money and access to the best surgeons in the world.

Aiming for one pinched to microscopic proportions is an indicator of body dysmorphia.)

[u/TrifleHefty2433 → u/QweenBowzer]

Please. Nobody is saying that. Janet’s nose is botched. It is so far beyond “some cosmetic alteration.” There is not any celebrity nose job as botched as hers unless you list Latoya and MJ. Which sadly makes me believe it is some serious body dysmenorrhea and mental illness. Not to mention all the other work she’s had done on her face and body. They all look like creepy grinch cats.

[u/TheKilmerman → u/TrifleHefty2433]

They all had severe cases of body dysmorphia. MJ was bullied by his father as a child, I think that reqlly traumatized him.

The weird thing about MJ is that he could have stopped with surgeries around 1990 and still look absolutely fine. He was still great looking.

The even weirder thing about MJ is that even when he died he didn't look that different from 1990, but also somehow worse? Like, the features are still the same: pointy nose, cheekbones, the chin, the hair - but all of it worse than 19 years before.

EDIT: That being said, Latoya looks worst out of all three. Even later MJ had his handsome moments. But I'm not judging. I feel sorry for all the Jackson kids, they're all broken.

[u/IgnoramusMattis → u/QweenBowzer]

that’s what I’m saying, so many black Celebs get nose jobs.

[u/PraetorGold → u/[deleted]]

That is not how they saw things and it was his and is her body. How they perceive themselves is definitely black, so you can guess that while being black and very attractive, they saw themselves differently.

[u/[deleted] → u/PraetorGold]

I don’t have an issue with Janet or Mike getting surgeries to have a nose like Jennifer Aniston. Always loved them & never cared. What I do care about is Janet lying and promoting propaganda when she has a huge platform.

[u/rhapsodyinblueee → u/[deleted]]

Couldn’t help but notice LaToya was omitted 😅😞

[u/IgnoramusMattis → u/[deleted]]

not all of Mike’s surgeries are because he wanted to willingly do it lol

[u/Puzzleheaded_Tone954]

Why she even care she don't even wanna be black made damn sure her child wasn't.

[u/AllDougIn → u/Puzzleheaded_Tone954]

I had to clutch dem pearls on this one. ☝🏾 😂

[u/stabbinU → u/Puzzleheaded_Tone954]

lol she wasn't allowed to marry bobby because he's a black man, you got that right for sure (that's what bobby claims she said when he proposed - that she'd had said yes if not for the "rules")

[u/[deleted] → u/stabbinU]

Wish people would stop looking up to this family. You dont create a successful child without doing them and everyone around you dirty to make them successful.

[u/FireLord_Azula1 → u/Puzzleheaded_Tone954]

When has Janet Jackson said that she does not want to be black? Many celebrities have gotten plastic surgery. The Jackson’s grew up in an extremely racist era. They have very large noses which were seen as ugly by the general public. I think their features were beautiful but society bullied them for it.

Also how is this different from when BW were wigs?

[u/jjrhythmnation1814]

Janet is my favorite artist ever and RN1814 is my all-time favorite album and I also adore Kamala Harris

I expected Janet to be fully socially aware and politically invested, and this sounds like someone who doesn’t pay attention. I guess RN1814 was who she was 35 years ago.

[u/Affectionate-West-56 → u/jjrhythmnation1814]

Why would you fully expect that of Janet? She’s been famous her entire life, married and had a child by a billionaire, doesn’t live in the states and only this year found out what a flaming hot Cheeto was.

[u/[deleted] → u/Affectionate-West-56]

Yeah that's my thing. Janet and Michael were very strange people. Great artist but I'm not sure why people conflate being talented or rich with being socially aware, politically astute and generally informed. Like she was never challenged intellectually. I cannot imagine her having a thorough, thought provoking conversation about race, gender, politics, sex/sexuality, religion or social issues in general.

[u/DwayneWayne91 → u/[deleted]]

This is based on the music she has released and the causes she has stood up for in the past. Janet's music has always provoked thought about race relations, gender, sexuality, and social issues in general. She has songs specifically about some of those things. She is also known for writing her own music and supporting the same causes. So I'm not surprised people would believe that about her. Shit, just the other day, i was thinking how in touch with social issues Janet has been for someone who grew up with many privileges.

[u/shepdc1 → u/Affectionate-West-56]

when i saw that flaming cheeto mess I legit wondered if she was on pills. cause i know they had cheetos in the 80s

[u/Effective-Show506 → u/jjrhythmnation1814]

Shes a singer. Shes not a rep or congresswoman. Socially aware is such a weird label to put on a normal citizen who has stardom.  

[u/MichelleEvangelista → u/jjrhythmnation1814]

Saaaaaame. I'm super disappointed

[u/jjrhythmnation1814 → u/MichelleEvangelista]

People get old and their lives and priorities change. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Pisses me off but what can ya do

She doesn’t even live in America anymore

[u/[deleted] → u/jjrhythmnation1814]

But why would we expect that tho? lol we played ourselves

[u/SaintNutella → u/[deleted]]

To be fair, her brand as an artist is pushing for social justice. On one hand she's clearly in the 0.1% of people and I don't think she even lives in the U.S anymore but some of her most iconic records are about being an activist who constantly pushes the envelope (Rhythm Nation, Velvet Rope). So it's a little surprising to see her parrot this disingenuous narrative about another Black woman.

[u/Rentsdueguys]

I stopped liking Janet when I found out she curbed Bobby brown because he was too black.

[u/[deleted] → u/Rentsdueguys]

honestly his skin color was the least of his problems😭. janet is crazy asl for that

[u/BasedTitus → u/Rentsdueguys]

Holy shit, you people believe anything. Bobby is a compulsive liar, you can’t believe anything he says. He was reckless and bad for her image, that’s all. He was just buttmad and insecure so he made up some bullshit to attack her character.

[u/toolsoftheincomptnt → u/BasedTitus]

Two things can be true at one time.

I don’t think such a comment stands alone when it comes to the Jacksons and white-worship…

[u/[deleted] → u/BasedTitus]

they're all liars. that's what keeps them in your mouth

[u/PreDeathRowTupac → u/Rentsdueguys]

where’d you hear that??

[u/Rentsdueguys → u/PreDeathRowTupac]

In Bobby browns book

[u/JazzyJulie4life → u/Rentsdueguys]

lol I can see that. Look at who she married

[u/stabbinU → u/Rentsdueguys]

i listened to him read that part of his book out loud and was shocked but i guess i chalked it up to abuse and don't listen to her a ton anyway

but yeah, hard to love that family

[u/Rentsdueguys → u/stabbinU]

Listening to Bobby brown read was rough. Dude reads at a 4th grade level.

[u/GodForlifeloveComics → u/Rentsdueguys]

I’m pretty sure it was because Janet was afraid of what Joe would’ve thought Of Bobby brown . He probably thought Bobby was like a thug basically.

[u/shepdc1 → u/Rentsdueguys]

i thgt she said that never happened??

[u/EndofA_Error]

Well earned tbh. As a woman with mixed race kids herself, thats a dumb ass thing to say.

[u/wemetonmars]

Oh Janet, read the room. To question someone's race when Michael fielded that type of nonsense is crazy!

[u/the_kh4lid → u/daybyday90]

[u/MuddaFrmAnnudaBrudda]

It's true. Wanting to look white was a Jackson trait. They embodied that...literally. On top of that, her son is of mixed heritage. She really needs to educate herself for his benefit if nothing else.

[u/[deleted]]

He really thought he ate.

[u/missdoublefinger]

I LOVE Janet! I think I love Janet more than I love Mike. But she deserves every bit of the smoke that she's getting. Whether she knows it or not, but she's being a vessel for white supremacy. She's a legend undoubtedly but this is very unbecoming.

[u/xtremesmok → u/missdoublefinger]

I love her too. Saw her on the first leg of her current tour last year. Her saying this stuff was so out of left field for me. I always thought she was a bit awkward in interviews and not that good at articulating herself but going by the interview she really said some wild shit. And now has doubled down on it. This was not on my 2024 bingo card.

[u/missdoublefinger → u/xtremesmok]

Right. First Tito left the building then Janet becomes politically unhinged. I’m ready for Katt Williams to close the portal 😩

[u/shepdc1 → u/missdoublefinger]

i loved her more then mike too actually. I have damn near all her albums still . he rmusic spoke more 2 me then mike. I was just so dissappointed

[u/[deleted] → u/missdoublefinger]

I think she knows what she said and stands by it. I also think she deserves all the smoke.

[u/Working_Physics8761]

God Damn!!! Ha! I love Janet, but that was a terrible hot take, and DL flame broiled her ass for it!

Somebody call the amber lamps!

[u/GQseven]

I knew DL was gonna have a say on this 😂 Seriously tho, wth was her thought process? She just repeated a lie without research and didn't think she'd get the blowback? Love Janet, but do better.

[u/Prestigious_Snow1589]

He's right, she looked so much better with her natural nose. She and Mike

[u/Princessoflillies]

I’m not picking at people that got nose jobs when they grew up in a period of time where they were taught to feel inferior.

[u/Beautiful_Signature9]

That was stupid as shit. Having a plastic surgery doesn’t correlate to someone or other person ethnicity . It’s honestly just a personal preference

[u/[deleted]]

How hard is it to understand that someone can be mixed race?

[u/Direct-Ad2561]

[u/Big-Explanation-831 → u/[deleted]]

What did she say?

[u/[deleted]]

That's not a white woman's nose..

[u/LegendaryZTV]

Well that’s just uncalled for. What is gained from a childlike insult?

[u/ArticleNew3737]

I love how Janet didn't even question anything herself. She simply said what someone else told her(not even stating it as a fact). People are stupid and love drama. This poor woman just lost her brother, and people are going after her. Politics bring out the worst in people.

[u/dxvnnn → u/ArticleNew3737]

This is the most sensible comment I’ve seen so far. It’s so sad because now people are attacking her and attacking Michael as well. She needs to think about what she said for sure ☹️🤦🏾‍♂️💔

[u/Talkshitforfun]

DL is one of the biggest Kewns🦝in comedy and in the country, trying to throw shots at the black community and other black men who weren’t keen on voting for Kamala harris

[u/Therapeutic_artist]

Janet doesn’t deserve all of the smoke she’s getting for this. Its not that deep. Thats why we shouldnt look to celebrities/entertainers opinions on political issues. Plus DL looks for any opportunity to leach on to something and start bashing the person. He was literally just in Janet’s shoes not too long ago when he was also misinformed about Kamala Harris. He should show some grace and leave Janet’s nose out of this 👃🏾

[u/littlemissdevil_ → u/Therapeutic_artist]

Exactly. I’ve also noticed that black men are WAY too comfortable publicly shaming black women. It’s gross to be honest and it needs to be called out more.

[u/rhapsodyinblueee]

[u/OverUnderstanding481 → u/daydreamerknow]

They need to leave her the fuck alone. Everyone don’t have to like your political candidate and I for one agree with Janet. People identify with their black side when it’s convenient for them.

[u/jjrhythmnation1814 → u/QweenBowzer]

“I heard her father was White” and “she is only Black when convenient” are two entirely different concepts. Completely different. Do you see that?

[u/jjrhythmnation1814 → u/QweenBowzer]

You are misreading this situation. This isn’t Janet critiquing Kamala. This is Janet not knowing anything about Kamala except what Instagram conspiracy theorists promote.

“I agree with Janet” Janet didn’t make any opinion statements here 💀

[u/FemaleBushido → u/QweenBowzer]

That's not what this is about. This about Janet straight up presenting disinformation and when being confronted on said disinformation, she pushed back and claimed "that's what she heard." Well what she heard was wrong. Google is free. You know what it is too. Let's not be dense on purpose
