Janet Jackson has been thrilling fans on her epic selling ‘Unbreakable Tour.’ However, some supporters have felt the sting when trying to share clips from the trek on social media. Most especially on Instagram.
TMZ reported earlier this week how many of concert-goers were having their videos from the show pulled down, with some even having their accounts closed because of it.
Given today’s social climate, the practice naturally drew criticism – some of which was levelled at Jackson.
Keen to clear up the confusion, the superstar took to Facebook moments ago to release a statement.
Her words below…
Via Janet Jackson:
Hey you guys, I have been listening…
I love and appreciate my fans. I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short video clips of how you are Burning It Up at the Unbreakable shows. Please keep posting them.
My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed. Permitting the use of long clips does present a contractual problem for these projects. I hope you understand. I trust the fans will use their short recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks of choice.
I have asked my team to change their approach and allow you to engage socially with these videos.
I know I wouldn’t be here without the love I stand on.
And there you have it!
That was smooth af lol…from that short little message you can feel the gratitude and appreciation she has for the people that put her where she is today – her fans.
When will MaAncient? Kii!!
Grandmadonna never needed to do this because she was never taking people’s videos down. She knows people will go to her show no matter how many videos of the tour get posted. Her team is confident in her appeal. Obviously, Janet’s aren’t.
QUEEN
Why did I read this in her soft iconic whisper voice.
.
AnTEAways, her team is sooooo old school & A***! I mean, DAMN! They deleting bitchzes accounts just from 30 second videos! If anything, those vids are promo for Miss Jackson. Alot of these youngin’s ain’t thinking about Miss Jackson, so it’s actually a good way to allow them to see ha slay that stage and that might get them interested in purchasing a ticket! Miss Janet was so sweet & delicate in that letter tho. She’s so positive, humble, sweet & nice. Love you JJ
Lol I read it the same way
Fu cku ho. U can kiss my ass AND Janets….biitch!
@Truth why are u so mad, she said nothing wrong about janet. Did your check not come in the mail? Did they cut off your food stamps? Chill gul!
S****** Blonde <3
When will Madge??kii

Fun fact: MCSWT grossed over 200 mill and OTR 121 mill
F*** a #1 hit. Bey is winning. Where’s anti?

Bow down
It’s 2015 sis not 1995. Those sales are ancient
@bey but Janet’s been at it over 2x as long as beyonce some of janets core fans are grandparents
30k and it’s great she not even trying to push the album and you’re a bey stans you better respect Janet your fave sure do
I’m waiting on Anti to to slay Bey and Janet. These chicks are washed up
I respect Janet im just laughing at her flop album lol
And the fact that its 2015 and beyonce cant sale what janet did in 95 is all the more reason why you should BOW DOWN.. B dominates the game yet she STANDS for janet and gets WALKED on by Adele(whos one album killed her whole solo career) Have several.
Queen.
*Queen Stephy
Don’t do that. Keep it moving & have a nice day. 🙂
I just get so tired when I look at her. So boring
Lol Rihanna exemplifies “boring” bih
Classy as always
I’m fairly new to this site and the navy is weak. We have to get rid of that Centurion and LB. I’m dragging the hive from now on
Such an understanding Queen that makes her point concise and doesn’t beat around the bush to tell people what they want to hear. Who else could deliver this subtle slayage?
She’s a sweetheart smh bey wouldn’t of said shitt.
When is Ciara’s arena tour
She’s doing an arena tour? I knew it! I’m so proud of that Queen! I love her and I hope she grosses at least $500,000 or show.
yea.. touring McDonalds
I’m guessing she broadcasts her May Vegas show. I’ll be there so I hope so:)
A Queen’s response.
Queen.
We’re getting a DVD from Ms Jackson. She pretty much spilled the tea.
I think that that’s possible but that wouldn’t necessarily require videos to be taken down as she would be releasing the DVD through her own label. Contractual obligations most likely points to a broadcast. I hope she does both though yay!
Hey, no one had a problem when Prince does it. Go find a LIVe show by Prince on the net, his team don’t play and don’t care.
I don’t even f** with Janet like that…but made me respect her more as a person….she directly acknowledge her fans…
no wonder the beyondfake stans are always so bitter..their so call queen never acknowledge their asses like that..burn bish burn
Lol, Janet is superior to Beyonce. She moved over six figures & she’s been an actual artist way longer. She doesn’t even have a second single at radio yet. She’s done barely any real promo. If her next single is a hit & she starts to do a TV campaign, with an amazing video, she’s going to be all gravy. Her album is amazing. She’s beautiful & is a legit BOSS.. She isn’t a phony artist that tosses her name on everything for extra credit. How would Beyonce’s stale A** sale without a radio hit. She banks on urban/rhythmic radio and shock value..
What does Beyonce have to do with anything? Lol so obsessed and bitter.
A true Class Act. I love Janet.
ICONET
Classy Queen
Lol Beyonce is queen. Her name is a must in these chicks posts. There is no conversation if Beyonce isn’t included. 19 years of slayage.
Chile, bye. Beyoncé’s singles flop left and right. The only thing that’s really keeping her alive are these festivals being streamed and her features on OTHER people’s songs.
Beyonce doesn’t have to promote boo. Her talent is keeping her alive b****. After 18 years, you anti Beyonce clowns have to find another excuse. Beyonce barely does features. Have a seat
#DEATH @ Minnie Mouse Jackson getting praise for stopping something that shouldn’t have been happening in the first place. You never saw Grandmadonna or Mariah deleting people’s concert videos.
Lmao Mariah should have been deleting videos with her awful live singing kii
@OMGLogic
How about everyone shut up arguing on behalf of your artist and goto sleep. Those McDonald’s burgers aren’t going to cook themselves, so y’all can’t be late to work.
The bigger issue is that everyone nowadays wants everyone to ‘like’ their pic or video or gain followers to somehow fill the voids their vapid personalities create. Rather than ACTUALLY enjoy the concert with your two eyes, you want to experience the event(s) around you through a cell phone screen. That sure is a considerable amount of money you paid to watch something through a little screen, instead of putting it down and actually creating some memories.
This is coming from someone who likes both Janet and Beyonce. I benefit ZERO going back and forth with anonymous people online about someone who doesn’t need my helo to defend themselves.
Maybe one day you’ll snap out of it and actually grow up.
Flopnet should be grateful that people even bothered to show up to her snoozefest concert. She should cherish few fans she has left instead of going around deleting their instagram accounts and videos and pissing them off. BIG mistake there Janet.
On another note… Flopnet’s Burn It Up didn’t even chart. Not even on the Bubbling Under chart xD
Sandra is trash. She was actually removing videos at first. The team started removing accounts. Some are still in tact. What an idiot.
^ Cherish the few fans she has left? Snoozefest concert? Janet’s already done at least 15 concerts that seated 15 – 20K people. Several locations she making rounds to already sold out quickly. The reviews on the tour are all wonderful! I don’t think Jan’s worried about her concert being overlooked.
Anyway, Janet has always been considerate of her fans and it was very thoughtful of her to let everyone know that her team will be handling the situation.
Btw, BIU is #24 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It started charting!
The beehive would have got paid dust!
I am lmao at the people who is criticizing somebody who is living a life only others can dream and to even be known by millions when you’re only known by a few if that its really funny that you even think your opinion is relevant lmao
Celine idiot shyt Ya mouth….
Shut*
Nice of Janet
