Janet jackson becomes first black woman to receive billboard icon award

That's not accurate. Janet Jackson did not become the first black woman to receive the Billboard Icon Award. The Billboard Icon Award is an annual award presented by Billboard to recognize outstanding contributions and influence in the music industry.

According to Billboard's website, the first recipient of the Icon Award was Cher in 2014. Since then, other artists have received the award, including Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, and Stevie Wonder.

However, Janet Jackson has received numerous awards and accolades throughout her career, including multiple Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. She is a highly respected and influential artist in the music industry, and her contributions to music and pop culture are widely recognized.
