Janet Jackson allegedly fired a rep who released an unauthorized apology on her behalf after her controversial remarks about Kamala Harris’ race.

“Janet Jackson fired me due to disagreements between me, her, and Randy [Jackson], after her meeting with the Guardian and her unbalanced statements,” Mo Elmasri, who claimed to be the “Rhythm Nation” singer’s manager, told the Daily Beast via email.

“That’s all I can say,” he added.

When Elmasri was asked for further comment, he said he could not “receive phone calls due to the large number of calls.”

“All support to Kamala Harris,” he told the outlet.

Jackson, 58, made headlines over the weekend when she made controversial remarks about Vice President Harris’ racial background.

“She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian,” she told the Guardian in an interview, repeating a false right-wing conspiracy theory.

“Her father’s white. That’s what I was told,” she added.

“I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

After fans labeled the “That’s the Way Love Goes” songstress “irrelevant” and a “leech” for questioning Harris’ race, Elmasri attempted to do damage control by releasing a statement on Jackson’s behalf to media outlets.

“Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity were based on misinformation,” he said.

“Janet respects Harris’ dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused. She values the diversity Harris represents and understands the importance of celebrating that in today’s society,” Elmasri added.

However, a rep for Jackson told People Sunday that Elmasri issued an unauthorized statement and was not the pop star’s manager, nor was he affiliated with her camp.

The rep also said her brother Randy Jackson manages the five-time Grammy winner.
