This intimate look into all things Janet Jackson has caused the music legend to trend widely across social media platforms, but it was her 2008 interview that stole attention.

During the previous interview, Jackson was asked who she would have a lesbian fling with, and she answered: "I think I would pick Alicia Keys. I think she's wonderful." Keys posted the screenshot along with a caption.

"I always knew I was BAE But when @janetjackson says it [explosive emojis]," Keys penned. Gunna even jumped into the conversation to further his viral "Pushin P" and added, "For P she turn [blue P emoji]esbian."
