Janet Jackson keeps her awards in a warehouse because she doesn’t like displaying them in her home.
The Together Again singer has won five Grammys, 11 Billboard Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards and nine MTV Video Music Awards during her career, but you wouldn’t know if you visited her. “I’ve never been that kind of person who lays out his rewards. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just not me, she told Essence magazine. If you came to my house, you wouldn’t know, if you didn’t know who I was, that I’m an artist. I don’t have any prices on my wall. »
She explained that she keeps them in a warehouse for her five-year-old son, Eissa, to decide what he wants to do with them.
The 56-year-old star revealed that some of her awards only came out of the warehouse when she dated producer and songwriter Jermaine Dupri between 2002 and 2009. “I remember when Jermaine and I were together, he said to me, ”Where are your Grammys? Why don’t you get your Grammys? “So I brought them in, because he wanted them out, and that’s what I did. Just the Grammys, nothing else, she said. After our separation, they went back into the warehouse and haven’t come out since. »
Janet Jackson explained that accolades were not her definition of success and that what mattered most to her was how her music touched people and “impacted their lives”.
