It's official! Jermaine and Janet broke up!

After almost seven years of dating, Janet Jackson and music producer Jermaine Dupri have reportedly called it quits, according to Us Weekly.

“His friends are telling people it’s over,” according to an Us Weekly source.

Another source said the split had been looming on the horizon for the couple for some time.

“They have been moving in different directions for a while,” the source said.

Dupri, who was noticeably absent from Michael Jackson’s memorial on July 7, produced several of Jackson’s recent tracks on her last two albums — which could have contributed to the split, according to the mag.

“You shouldn’t mix business with pleasure,” a friend of the former couple told the mag. “Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things separate.”

In addition to her break-up, another source said Jackson is still in the midst of mourning for her brother.

“She’s devastated,” another insider said. “She’s busy caring for Michael’s kids. Janet’s the family’s backbone.”

Jackson was previously married to Rene Elizondo. They divorced in 2000.

I wonder if the Pacman amateur video had anything to do with it confused

I'm not sure I'm assuming that they already called it quits before MJ's passing. He's a scumbag! Look at this!



and he had the nerve to post this on his blog because it was hilarious disbelief this was during All star game weekend when Janet was Vegas too trying to hold an intervention for her brother MJ!

It's not like Janet didn't know about JD's adventures in strip clubs. He has taken Janet out on dates to some of these nasty joints (hence one more reason why I think Janet is bisexual.....but that's another thread for a later date).

Female going to strip clubs don't make you bisexual. Straight females
generally go their to find dudes especially if it's a
combo strip/party club. Back on topic. Not surprising. JD's ego had
gotten way out of control and just some of his recent antics Janet
may have said you know what this has been fun and all but it's time
to decide what Janet really wants. She probably decided she wants to
slow it down a bit and not have to date and take care of a 36 year old
who acts like he's 19.

They were already broken up by then. What is wrong with him going to a strip club? Janet joined him on some of those strip club visits too, and Jermaine when to the strip clubs frequently before he met Janet, she is aware of that. Michael's death could trigger Janet into another deep depression. I heard reports saying they got back together recently and he is helping her get through this dark time in her life. If that is not true Janet will not be single for long.

Technically nothing but dude is 36 years old now with a daughter.
Dude is not 20 years old anymore. It's not 1995 anymore.
It's nothing wrong with going to a dance club to party but to
throw dollars at chicks in a strip club when you're 36 and you
have the hottest chick in R&B, it's not a good look. eek

That is true for some females. But how do explain women going to strip clubs with their boyfriends OR husbands to enjoy watching other women stripping down to the G-strings, doing freaking dancings, and/or giving them the private VIP room "special"?

What the hell did Janet see this scumbag JD?

I guess it was a case of mixing business with pleasure afterall.

Was this happening before mj died or after? Maybe janet realized that life is too short to waste time with a scumbag and is going to find herself again.

I heard reports of them breaking up about a month before MJ died. Maybe she was just tired of his ass. What works in the beginning doesn't always stay that way forever. Maybe she was tired of driving to strip clubs to pick his drunk ass up. Who knows? But if that is the case she knew his lifestyle way before she started dating him. So I'm thinking they most likely probably just grew apart. She did seem very happy when she was with him, but when u not with the right guy, time does reveal itself. nod

Oh believe me dude i'm not saying there aren't any bisexual women in
the strip club. Hell you might find the occasional stripper or two
that are. I've seen some shit in my day at the strip club. I was just
saying that if Janet has been there a time or two(if it's true at all),
it doesn't make her bisexual. I've been to strip clubs and chicks would
be there talking to dudes and not even paying attention to the strippers.

So, what you're saying is that her music may actually go back to being good now? eek excited woot! dancing jig Party over here!!! Man, she should have dumped that chocolate, gap-toothed troll after he barfed on her at that party. Hell, I'd drop anyone who puked on my Jimmy Choos, but I guess Janet's very forgiving...or he had some sort of mind-controlling substance that he slipped into everything that she was eating and drinking. confuse Seriously, what the hell did she see in this dude? His momma probably couldn't even put him in the sandbox as a baby for fear that a cat would try to bury him. lol

I'm straight and I loved the strip club the first time I went. Although, there was a one-armed stripper there working the pole like nobody's business and a really nice stripper with a uni-brow and very chiseled, man-like features that paid extra attention to me; I put $5 on it. lol Maybe that was why I found it entertaining. lol Oh, I really liked the girl that climbed all the way up the pole and dropped to the floor in a perfect split, although, I wondered if her cooter hurt aftewards because she hit the stage pretty hard. confuse
