Jermaine Dupri Janet Jackson Breakup
After seven years of dating, urban power couple Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson have broken up, according to an explosive new scoop from The National Enquirer.
“Janet and Jermaine finally hit a wall,” says an Enquirer insider. “They were fighting over his management of her career. In the end, she decided to make a break.”
Blabbing celebrity spies tell the tab that 42-year-old Janet asked the 36-year-old record producer to move out of her Los Angeles home after months of blaming him for the failure of her recent Rock Witchu Tour and poor sales for her recent effort, Discipline.
When the tour went sour, Janet felt that Jermaine “deserved a lot of the blame,” says the snitch, who adds, “Janet was so disappointed in how Jermaine managed her tour that she gave him his walking papers. She’s furious that Jermaine was able to work magic for Mariah Carey, but not her. She feels that he let her down.”
“She decided to cut her losses and end their relationship.”

That’s sad that they broke up. I’m hoping that the blabber mouth who leaked the story is wrong. When you are in love with someone, as they have stated to be, it should be unconditional. If they broke up, then they just broke up. Hopefully the reason behind the break up had nothing to do with her mismanaged career. She’s been in the industry long enough to know what her fans like and what they expect from her. I’ve been looking up to her since I was a little girl, and what I’ve noticed, is that her formula has always been the same, and it’s always been a winning formula. Although it’s been the same, it may not have been universal enough to meet the entertainment needs of the younger generation. Like I sad, it’s sad that they broke up………….but it’s only sad from the eye of a Romantic. From their view point, if they are officially broken up, it may have just been the best thing for them individually.

Good for her!!! It’s the truth ever since Janet’s been dealing with Jermaine her career has went down. She should have stuck with “If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It” rule. Frankly, I think she should go back home to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. No disrespect to Jermaine, he is good at what he does. He just couldn’t make it work for Janet. For the record Ms. Jackson, you and Ms. Carey are two different artist. I think Jermaine was perfect for where Ms. Carey wanted to go, but just not for you. Glad you found out now, rather than later.

JUST LIKE MADONNA PARADING AROUND IN A LEOTARD & TRYING TO SHOW OFF HER BODY..IT”S DEGRADING & NASTY!

Jermaine suck anyway, i was surprised she even worked with him.
relationship? no problem. But to bring some kind of hip hop sound to a legendary career with a producer who hasn’t had a hot artist in almost ten years is crazy

I agree with one of the above posters. Janet is older and she needs to realize she is NOT gonna have it like she did back in the day. Madonna was great too….but she will never be what she was in her youth. And wait a minute ….so she NEVER loved him? He was only suppose to help her career? Was he caring, loving, faithful? Guess that type of stuff doesn’t matter, huh?

If Jermaine wasnt so caught up in helping every other female artist, Janet would have done so much better. As a manager, Jermaine should have been focusing on his biggest money earner, Janet. She needs to go work with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Love You Janet! My blessings and prayers are with you!

Is it JD’s responsibility to ensure her success? Why not admit she was using him to maintain stardom? At least Mariah Carey’s went in for some “cream” milk, not trying to seize the entire “cash” cow. If her romance was based on music production, then she has the problem. And she keep the music out of her relationship.
