Janelle Monáe to Induct Janet Jackson into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Iconic.

Janelle Monáe has been announced as the presenter for Janet Jackson's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction.

The Rock Hall issued a statement describing the legend as someone who fearlessly tackled subjects of "poverty, race relations, and drug use" within her music and "explored social issues, themes of empowerment and self-confidence, and influenced generations with her stylized music videos with innovative choreography."
