Jhis daughter Janet to perform at Super Bowl LII. “Janet is ready to comeback and I think it will happen,” he told us at BET’s Soul Train A Awards, which will air on Jan. 26. “The w way I bought her up she was made for comebacks and this is no different.” Janet last did a Super Bowl show in 2001 with which caused controvers­y when her nipple was e exposed at the end of a dance number in an incident d that was instantly dubbed “Nipplegate.” Timberlake T is making his return to the Super Bowl stage s in Minnesota in February and there’s t been rampant speculatio­n that Janet, J who became a mom in January at a the age of 50 , will join him. According to Joe, booking a gig at the t big game will give his daughter closure. c “Janet always wanted to know she s was not banned after what happened h before,” he said. According c to Joe, who turns 90 next year, y there have been discussion about Janet and teaming up with Timberlake again.

“We know conversati­ons have taken place secretly, but no one is daring to say too much publicly until contracts are signed,” he claimed. The Jackson family patriarch says that the NFL’s declining ratings would get a boost from putting the “What Have You Done for Me Lately” singer on stage.

“We must not forget this show is about ratings,” he said. “No one e publicly is going to discuss that, but the world and media know that the NFL are in a sticky place over fans reactions to their players taking the knee and protesting the national anthem.”

It’s not just Janet and the NFL who want to see this happen, according to Joe. “The audience are expecting a show and I feel that they are expecting to see her too,” he thinks. “It is what they want.”

Joe also says that sponsors and TV networks need not worry about a “Nipplegate 2” being broadcast across the globe.

“That won’t happen this time,” he promised.

Fans wanting to see more of Janet this Sunday can do so in Newark, where she’s performing at the Prudential Center.
