Singer Beyonce Knowles has reportedly left fellow artist Janet Jackson fuming after referring that the latter’s family did not come from an upper class background.
The leading R&B lady seemed to have taken a dig on Jackson family by contrasting her wealthy upbringing against that of Janet, who comes from the working class area of Gary, Indiana.
“I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” the Daily Express quoted Beyonce as telling Elle magazine in a recent interview.
“We`re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we`re like the Jacksons - but I didn`t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation,” she added.
And according to the New York Daily News, Janet was said to be so livid with the remark that she was planning a head-on confrontation with Beyonce.

This is a video clip from the upcoming movie “Cadillac Records” was released. In the clip, Etta James (portrayed by Beyonce) and Leonard Chess (portrayed by Adrien Brody by) have a conflict over the direction of a song, but ultimately Etta pulls it off. I heard back in the day when Etta James was a young hot thing, she was really hard to work with my teacher said, “she would always pop off at the mouth, and want everything under the stars she dont need”, from the looks of some of the clips that I have seen from the movie it be true!!!!!Etta James Now !!!
Six months after marrying Jay-Z, Beyonce starts to tell details about their top-secret wedding. Mind you she just put out her new single “Ladies, Put A Ring On It” . Great marketing…… lol This is what she had to say :
“What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real,” the singer, 27, tells Essence magazine in its November issue.
Not talking about her relationship with Jay-Z with anyone, Beyoncé does share a little about her wedding day, but only after groaning, “You’re gonna get me in trouble.”
Beyoncé tells the magazine she didn’t want an engagement ring because, “People put too much emphasis on that,” she says. “It’s just material and it’s just silly to me.”
Instead, the magazine reports, she wears a band on her ring finger over a tattoo of the Roman numeral IV (Beyoncé was born on Sept. 4; Jay-Z on Dec. 4; they were married on April 4). Jay-Z, 38, has a matching tattoo on his left-hand ring finger.
