[Blind Gossip] We hear that this singer’s family is exaggerating a health issue.
We don’t know why they are telling everyone it’s cancer. We were told “nodule or polyp.” A nodule is like a callous and a polyp is like a blister. Singers get them on their vocal cords all the time. They’re not tumors and even tumors aren’t necessarily cancer.
Why exaggerate the condition?
Her music isn’t selling well and tickets aren’t selling well. They’ll get some headlines and public sympathy and a “comeback” tour boost after interviews about how brave she is. The real benefit is to the rest of the family. Even though she has distanced herself from them, they’re going to milk this to the max. They want to push some of the younger ones into the spotlight, so it’s good timing.

Janet Jackson? I haven’t heard of her having cancer, but she did cut a tour short and her younger relatives are clamoring for attention with a reality show.

I guess it’s fair game, I’m just not interested in hearing the rest of the Jackson’s. I gave the reality show 15 minutes and that was MORE than enough

The Jackson family has been doing this for years, using the popular ones to get the others attention, even if they have no talent of their own. Why would they stop now?

Mia444 says
The Jacksons are a lot like the Kardashians — very hard to like, addicted to plastic surgery and always LYING. At least they started out with some talent, though, back in their Jackson 5 days.
