I did not understand the Janet Jackson diss.

I thought the story was good and I learned a lot reading this book. I wish there were more books like this out there. Yet at times, it felt as if the stories told were not complete and somewhat disjointed. That may just be me. I don’t know. What I do know. Is that somewhere in the story the author chose to comment on Janet Jackson‘s weight which did not seem relevant in any way. I tried to ignore and move on, but I felt it was a big distraction. I would not consider myself a huge Janet Jackson fan however, I could not find any additional context in this story.
