Janet Jackson visited the "BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show" on Tuesday. Host Scott Mills asked to be filled in on her star-studded extended family tree. "Now someone told me this earlier, are you related to Stevie (Wonder)?" he asked. "He's our cousin," Jackson replied. "Not a lot of people know that. He's our cousin on my mother's side. So is Tracy Chapman." She continued: "So is Samuel L. Jackson." But the jury is still out on that last familial connection, as Samuel L. Jackson told Wired in its Most Searched Questions series in 2017 that he wasn’t related to the Jackson family.
