The 42-year-old pop star is currently enjoying some off time after unceremoniously getting the boot from her label Island Def Jam.
After Janet became a free agent, it wasn’t long before beau Jermaine Dupri followed it.
Now the Atlanta music mogul explains to Essence mag just why he left — though he won’t get into specifics.
“It was a situation where it felt very stagnant to me,” he says. “As a person who is used to putting out new records and continuing to do that, it just wasn’t turning over as being that place to me where I should stick to it and see if it was going to turn around.”
As for reports that Jermaine continued to collect checks after he was relieved of his duties after sulking when Janet’s Discipline failed to meet expections?
“They are not going to tell the truth and say, ‘He just stopped dealing with us on a daily basis,’” he tells Essence. “If you don’t put out my records, that’s all I have as a person. I’m a record person, so if I give you a record, and you don’t put it out, then basically you’re showing me that it’s really no business.”
