Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris and the late singer Aaliyah were kin, Media Take Out is hearing. A few Twitter sleuths did a bit of genealogical digging and turned up the surprising results.
Soon-to-be president Harris has been criticized by Trump supporters, who have been constantly making up lies – and telling anyone who will listen that she’s “not Black.”
Those lies unfortunately made their way to Janet Jackson – who repeated them during recent interview with the Guardian. Janet is currently facing backlash from Kamala’s millions of supporters.
Well let’s be clear, Kamala Harris father is Black. And the Twitter users have shown that she even has famous Black cousins – albeit distant ones.
R&B singer Alaliyah’s great-great grandparents are also Kamala’s – so that makes them third cousins. Here’s the receipts.
Kamala is currently running for president o the United States, and she can use everyone’s support. She’s an American politician and attorney serving as the 49th and current vice president of the United States since 2021 under President Joe Biden. Harris is the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in the 2024 presidential election. She also served in the United States Senate from 2017 to 2021 representing California, and earlier as the attorney general of California.
