Janet Jackson is walking back an apology about remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, but it was an apology she didn’t authorize.

In an interview with The Guardian on Saturday, the “Rythm Nation” star was asked about the prospect of the United States having its “first Black female president.”

“Well, you know what they supposedly said?” Jackson said. “She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.

“I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

An apology was issued on the singer’s behalf to Buzzfeed by Mo Elmasri. That apology was not authorized, per reports.

“Janet Jackson fired me due to disagreements between me, her, and (brother) Randy (Jackson), after her meeting with the Guardian and her unbalanced statements,” Mo Elmasri told the Daily Beast in an emailed statement.

Elmasri, who claimed to be Jackson’s manager, reportedly told the outlet that the pop icon’s remarks on Harris’ racial identity were “based on misinformation.”

Jackson’s current manager is her brother, Randy Jackson, per USA TODAY on Sunday. Elmasri, according to the report, was not authorized to make the statement to Buzzfeed, nor has he ever worked on Jackson’s team.
