Thread: Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri Split!!

  1. Red face Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri Split!!

    Boy, that relationship was "short" lived... (yes... pun intended...):

    On July 7, Michael Jackson's family *gathered to celebrate him at his much-watched memorial service.

    Noticeably absent?

    Janet *Jackson's longtime music-exec boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri. (A pal says Dupri skipped the memorial because he "doesn't attend funerals.")

    And for good reason. "His friends are telling people it's over," a source tells the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

    Echoes another: "They have been moving in different directions for a while."

    So what drove Jackson, 43, and Dupri, 36, apart after nearly seven years?

    "You shouldn't mix business with pleasure," a mutual pal explains. (Dupri produced several tracks on her last two CDs.) "Janet felt their lives were too crossed and they should have kept things sepa*rate."

    Plus, the polar opposites were never too compatible.

    "Jermaine likes to be out there, mingling with everybody, and *Janet's more shy." (And secretive: She kept her nine-year marriage to Rene Elizondo hidden until their 2000 *divorce.)

    Meanwhile, Jackson is still deeply mourning the death of her big brother.

    "She's devastated," an insider says. "She's busy caring for Michael's kids. Janet's the family's backbone."

    Jackson's rep couldn't be reached.

    ERrrrrrrmmmmm, that's a good thing LOL....but yes, o this na old tory...(what does this say about me that I know this already...dag!) according to the wags especially since he didn't show at the funeral ceremony where most everyone who knew MJ or the family were there. He was said to be DJing somewhere...in my book, that was not cool at all. He didn't have to go to the funeral but the least he could do is be at the house for when she get's home and needs a should to lean on, NOT HUSTLING like he needs the money which I am pretty sure he doesn't. I never did like this troll from get go, never ever! I was mad when I heard they were together, I was so mad you would have thought Damita Jo was my sister!

    I will give it to Janet, she stays in her relationships a while unlike most celebrities. She is serious about her relationships. I hope she will take heart o and I also wish that she will have a lovely little boy she can name after her beloved bro...what a Nigerian thing to say, chei but na true tok, sha.

    that's true he should have been there for her even if they are not together

    That explains his absence from the memorial then because I was wondering why he did not show up.

    Why do we really have to see JD at the funeral? Its not like any other Jacksons brought their spouse for the funeral. And JD is only a boy friend not a married spouse. Nevertheless moral support.
    I don't like attending funerals either unless I'm obligated to be there.
