Beyoncé has reportedly stirred up some tension with Janet Jackson as a result of her apparent shading of the Jackson family. Over the years, there have been several awkward instances that suggest a strained relationship between the two music icons.

The simmering feud between Beyoncé and Janet Jackson seemed to reach boiling point when Beyoncé allegedly made disrespectful comments about the Jackson family during a private gathering. This apparent shading has left Janet Jackson feeling angered and disrespected by her fellow artist.

There have been numerous instances in the past that have contributed to the strained relationship between the two icons.

One notable incident involved Beyoncé not paying tribute to Michael Jackson during her groundbreaking Super Bowl halftime performance in 2013. Janet Jackson's fans, as well as the general public, criticized Beyoncé for omitting any mention or tribute to the late King of Pop, considering his immense influence on her career.

Another instance that fuelled the tension was when Beyoncé released her self-titled album in 2013. In a song titled "Flawless," she sampled a speech by author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which included the phrase, "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller.

" Some interpreted this as a veiled critique towards Janet Jackson, whose career had seemingly taken a backseat in recent years.

Furthermore, Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, added fuel to the fire when he dissed Janet Jackson's brother, Jermaine Dupri, in his song "What More Can I Say." The lyrics implied that Dupri ruined Janet Jackson's career, further straining the relationship between the two artists.

These incidents, combined with the recent alleged shading of the Jackson family by Beyoncé, have created a palpable tension between the two music icons. While both artists have remained tight-lipped about their strained relationship, it is clear that there is a history of awkwardness and animosity.

The music industry is no stranger to feuds and rivalries, and it seems that Beyoncé and Janet Jackson's relationship is no exception. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to reconcile their differences and move forward in a more harmonious manner. For now, fans can only hope that these two talented artists can find common ground and potentially collaborate, putting an end to the apparent tension between them.
