Janet Jackson Wishes ‘Beautiful’ Son Eissa a Happy 5th Birthday!

Janet Jackson’s son Eissa is another year older, another year wiser!
Monday on Instagram, the “Rhythm Nation” singer wrote her son a touching message in honor of his fifth birthday.
While tagging the location as “LUV,” the musician wrote, “You’re growing up so fast. Such an intelligent beautiful boy. Wishing you a life full of magical moments.”
“You’re Mama’s Luv. Happy 5th Birthday baby!” she added alongside a series of emojis, including a balloon, a kissing face, and various hearts.

After Jackson’s cute note went viral, several of her famous friends also wished Eissa a happy birthday.
“We love you Eissa! Happy Birthday,” wrote Ciara.
“Time has flown! Happy birthday, little one!” commented Yvette Nicole Brown.
“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉” added Busta Rhymes.
Back in 2017, Jackson’s publicist confirmed that the singer welcomed her first child at age 50 with then-partner Wissam Al Mana.
“Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably,” the publicist told outlets at the time.
Years later while appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in February 2020, Jackson revealed that Eissa takes after his mother and is extremely musically inclined.
“He loves music,” she said before noting that Questlove — the frontman of Fallon’s house band The Roots — gave Eissa a special gift.
“Quest, as a matter of fact gave him a beautiful set, a drum kit,” she said. “He loves it.”
Jackson also said Eissa began playing the violin at age 2 and is a huge classical music buff.
“First he chose the violin. He loves classical music. First day of school, he took the violin to school. Third day of school, he says, ‘Mama, I want to take a cello to school.’ I said, ‘Baby, you don’t have a cello.’ He says, ‘I’ll take one but turn my violin into a cello, please, Mama.’”
Fortunately, Jackson’s assistant Terry was able to turn Eissa’s violin into a cello by taking a “straw and taped it to the bottom of the violin.”
“He loved it. He was posing. He took it to school,” Jackson added.
