Though fiercely private, Janet Jackson went all sorts of public with her relationship with hitmaker Jermaine Dupri.

The couple famously dated for almost six years before calling it quits in 2009 – the same year Jackson’s brother Michael passed away.

In the time since, both have remained coy about the split and – more broadly – about each other.

Still, with their names very much intertwined, it was little surprise that Dupri was quizzed about his iconic ex – who has since married Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana – while doing the promo rounds at the 2015 BET Awards. Especially given that she was the night’s MVP after receiving the the Ultimate Icon honor.

What did he have to say about Ms. Jackson while speaking with Hot 97‘s Nessa? Find out below, where Dupri also dishes on his blunt approach to working with Mariah Carey.

Found on his forthcoming album ‘Black Rose’ (July 10), the Warryn Campbell-produced tune sees its 60’s-inspired video get assistance from Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (who portrays his wife).

“I have put some beautiful hearts and innocent people through hell and I’m ashamed of it,” said Tyrese about ‘Shame.’ “That’s my truth, and my truth produced this moment.”

Similar to FOX’s ‘Empire’ after it, Tyler Perry‘s ‘The Haves & the Have Nots’ has experienced an unprecedented and continuous ride upward since its debut on the Oprah Winfrey’s OWN.  And, if the response to last night’s season premiere is any indication, that ride will not be slowing any time soon.

Fans apparently couldn’t wait to get their eyes and ears back on the delectable soap opera as its return to screens not only clocked the highest viewership in the series’ tenure, but in the network’s history overall.
