Britney continued by describing Janet as the “deepest and brightest” woman and noted how she will look up to the Rhythm Nation star for the rest of her life,

The pop singer continued, “She’s always been the deepest and brightest woman at the same time. She went through so much but I feel she is someone I will look up to for the rest of my life”.

Spears also thanked Jackson for her musical contribution and impact.

“Thank you for your music and your divine way of untangling intelligence to a far more clear view than anyone could ever imagine”.

It’s unclear whether or not Janet and Britney are acquainted, but it has been noted that they do follow each other on Instagram.

‘IT WAS A TRAGEDY’

Janet and Britney do however have one thing in common, both stars have been wronged by the same man, Justin Timberlake. According to the Daily Mail, in 2004, Justin “accidentally” exposed Janet Jackson’s breast plate at the climax of her headlining gig at the 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. As a result of the scandal Janet’s music and videos blacklisted from CBS, MTV, and radio station group Infinity Broadcasting.

And while both Jackson and Timberlake issued public apologies for their nipple-flashing duet of Rock Your Body, his career remained unscathed while hers suffered.

Meanwhile, in Britney’s 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me, she revealed that Justine forced her to have an abortion when they unexpectedly became pregnant.

“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated”, she noted.

Spears continued: “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it”.
