Janet Jacksonbelieves that her brotherMichael Jacksonwill continue to have an impact on generations to come.
Nearly five months after theexplosive documentaryLeaving Neverland, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck claimed that Michael sexually abused them both as children, Janet opened up about her brother’s lasting legacy.
“It will continue,” the 53-year-old singer, who did not comment on the allegations against her brother, toldThe Sunday Times.
“I love it when I see kids emulating him, when adults still listen to his music. It just lets you know the impact that my family has had on the world,” she added. “I hope I’m not sounding arrogant in any way — I’m just stating what is. It’s really all God’s doing, and I’m just thankful for that.”

Posting the video on Instagram, Jackson wrote, “Had so much fun with these guys.”
A month after HBO’sLeaving Neverlandaired, the Jackson familyreleased their own documentary, which aimed to refute the allegations made against Michael. Prior to his death, the star had repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and was acquitted in a child sex abuse case leveled against him in California in 2005.
Jackson’s estate alsoissued a statement to PEOPLEin January,blasting the documentaryas a “pathetic attempt” to make money off of the singer.
Leaving Neverland‘s director, however, rebuked these claims in a statement to PEOPLE. “Anyone who sees the film will know it is solely about hearing the stories of two specific individuals and their families in their own words, and that is a focus we are very proud of,” Dan Reed said. “We feel no need to include the opinions of people with no direct knowledge of what happened to those individuals.”
