Breaking News: Janet Jackson Once Split Her Pants While Performing For Queen Elizabeth…see more
“Funny story about this outfit,” the pop star said of the famous black “Rhythm Nation” ensemble she wore for the 1989 Royal Variety Performance and her 1990 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
Jackson explained she was singing the song “for the Queen of England” when she experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
“Sure enough, as soon as I squatted, my pants split right in my booty crack. I couldn’t believe it happened!” the “Escapade” singer said.
Jackson knew she wasn’t having a nightmare when a breeze hit her bottom. “I started feeling air back there, so I knew it had really happened,” she added with a laugh.
Luckily, the performer came up with a solution so she didn’t flash her bum to Queen Elizabeth. “I never turned my back to her, which, some of the choreography, I was supposed to. I just faced forward.”
