Once Janet Jackson confirmed that she would not be reuniting with Justin Timberlake for a second Super Bowl halftime show, fans of the living legend took to social media to show the “Control” singer just how much she means to them, creating the hashtag #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay.
Several fans and celebrity friends put the hashtag to use, with Roots drummer Questlove going so far as to argue the icon is ready to inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The humble queen decided to dedicate her Valentine’s Day Instagram post to the fans who started the social media movement and have been supporting her career since childhood.
“You have no idea how much I love you,” she said in an Instagram post. I want to thank you for the support and the love that you’re always showing me. I appreciate you…and I love you so much.”
Happy V-DAY 💖 #JanetJacksonFanAppreciationDay
