*Janet Jackson’s nephew TJ Jackson says he’s never been a fan of her “over-sexualized” performances.
TJ shared his opinion on social media after a fan shared a clip of Janet performing “Would You” in concert and she simulates oral sex on a fan strapped to a table, Page Six reports.
“I never liked when she did this in concerts either,” he tweeted Monday in response to the footage. “I don’t like when females are overly sexualized in art…it degrades and objectify’s [sic] women in a way that’s not healthy.”
He added, “I prefer the ‘That’s The Way Love Goes’ Janet.”

TJ later called on “female black celebrities” to reconsider turning on the sexy too much during live performances.
“I love black women,” he told another fan. “I wish you would respect the black women we put in our music videos and if you are really serious about making a difference stop supporting the negative image many female black celebs today portray. WAP was not a good look. That deserves your energy.”
He also tweeted, “To all the black women out there…. know your worth. I truly believe you are the strongest beings on the planet. Don’t sell yourself short. Become the queens you are meant to be. #lovealways.”

When a fan asked if TJ was calling his aunt a “h*e,” he responded “Never did. Never would,” the singer replied.
“Way too much respect, admiration and love for my aunt to call her that. Doesn’t even cross my mind. It’s sad the amount of trolls and hate on this platform and how it feeds souls,” TJ added.
Janet will kick off her multi-city “Together Again” tour on April 14 in Hollywood, Fla.
