During a Mother's Day episode of 'The Pivot' podcast on Sunday, the mother of the 24-year-old NFL player addressed the public scrutiny about her being his business manager and rumors around how much she controls his personal life.
She made it very clear that she does not control his personal life and she in fact wants her son to date.
'I'm putting it on record. My son can date, he can live freely, make his own decisions,' she stressed. 'However, with the relationship we have, he does value my opinion because when my kids were little, I did a lot for them and my kids saw that.'
She noted that the 'whole 'girls' comment' stemmed from an interview she did two years ago while her son was still a student at LSU. At the time, she was asked, 'What is your biggest fear?' and she said, 'them girls.' The sports manager added that it should be 'every parent's fear,' whether their child is a man or a woman.

'Because you're a public figure and your dollar amount is associated with your name. So you never know who's really there for you and who's really against you,' she expressed.
Jackson explained that when it comes to business specifically, Daniels 'doesn't know what he doesn't know, and he knows football.' Meanwhile, with dual degrees in hospital administration and entrepreneurial business, Jackson said she's 'educated and qualified.'
'He doesn't know the business world,' she said. 'He doesn't know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I'm also his mom.'
Jackson noted that her evolving business relationship with her son may 'look different' than what others have become accustomed to regarding parent-manager dynamics.

'The thing is, I think we're changing the narrative that has been out there,' she continued. 'So, it looks a little different than what people are used to, 'cause not only am I educated on that side, I'm also a certified agent, but I'm also his business manager.'
The interview arrives after Jackson has been increasingly spotted off the football field with Daniels, including seated courtside smack dab in the middle of him and basketball star JuJu Watkins, and on the dance floor at a friend's wedding.
After garnering multiple headlines and fueling online discourse for months, Jackson said she was appearing on 'The Pivot' to let the world 'actually get to know' who she is. Despite how devoted she is to managing her son's football career, she said she doesn't want to be known as just Jayden's mom.
'I had Jayden. Jayden didn't have me,' said Jackson.

Buss Family to See Astonishing Profit After Record-Setting Sale of Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers set yet another record on Wednesday, June 18, in what's become a lengthy line of making a variety of notable sports history, with the Buss family somewhat stunningly selling the storied franchise that the late Dr. Jerry Buss originally purchased for $67.5 million in 1979. Now, 46 years later after what proved to be a franchise-altering moment that saw the Lakers go on numerous NBA Championship runs, hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy a whopping 11 times under Buss ownership, the legendary family is about to see a patently ridiculous profit after selling the team to Mark Walter, the current owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement With ESPN's Shams Charania dropping the news bomb late Wednesday afternoon, the Buss family sold its 66 percent majority stake in the Lakers for "a valuation of approximately $10 billion," Just as Charania did in his followup post on X, it certainly feels like a number worth repeating: Ten. Billion. And as Sportsnaut quite specifically noted, this record-setting Lakers sale "represents a staggering return on investment for the [Buss] family at 14,714.81%." Considering the Buss family will also maintain a minority share of the team at "just over 15% for a period of time," in addition to Jeanie Buss reportedly staying on as Lakers' governor—a role she's held since ownership was kept in the family following Jerry's passing in 2013—that is one hell of a win and a payday all while the 63-year-old will still hold a significant influence on the direction of the franchise. Advertisement If that $10 billion valuation number hasn't resonated just yet, keep in mind that the Boston Celtics, an equally iconic and deeply treasured NBA franchise, sold earlier this year for "only" $6.1 billion. It's also worth noting that Walter, the new majority owner of the Lakers, had already purchased a 26 percent stake of the team back in 2021 and held first right of refusal if the Buss family were to ever sell its majority stake in the franchise. On Wednesday afternoon, the man who's proven to be a fearless owner when it comes to spending and securing top MLB free-agents ever since taking a majority stake in the Dodgers in 2012, finished off the deal with the Lakers that began four years ago. It would be sincerely shocking if Walter and his ownership group didn't set out to do with the Lakers exactly what they've aggressively done with the Dodgers, which should serve as exceptionally great news for fans of the purple and gold.
