Hip-Hop couple Jermaine “JD” Dupri and Janet Jackson have reportedly parted ways after being together for over seven years.
The unexpected move made headlines shortly after Michael Jackson’s recent memorial.
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.” (Us Magazine)
Insiders close to both parties pointed out the difficulty of JD having a hand in both Jackson’s personal life and music career.
