Things got nasty at the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday night, and on Thursday, Janet Jackson fans got “Nasty” in return.
Spotify reported that streams of Jackson’s 1986 R&B hit were up 250 percent following the debate, in which Donald Trump referred to his opponent Hillary Clinton as “such a nasty woman.”
