Janet’s relationship with Tracy and Samuel L. is murkier.
As for Janet and Stevie, they have a long history. Both the Jacksons and Stevie were signed to Motown. In 2008, Janet presented Stevie with a Hall of Fame Award at the NAACP Image Awards in L.A.

Janet’s in London for her “Together Again” tour, and she told Scott how she’s honoring her brother, Michael, during her show. She said, “I love that song and I guess it’s just a homage to my brother and us working together and those memories and people go crazy when he appears [on the concert screen] they just love it so it’s nice.”
The Jackson history is rich, for sure.
