Scribbled in history books for some good and not-so-good reasons, 2016 brought with it some of modern entertainment’s most memorable moments.
As the year draws to a close, TGJ is reflecting on 31 moments that rocked – and to some degree shaped – the Urban and Pop musical landscape as we know it.
Now we reflect on the announcement Janet Jackson fans have been waiting for…
Early last month Janet Jackson announced the postponement of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour,’ revealing to fans that she and husband Wissam Al Mana were starting a family.
At the time, many received the news warmly – particularly given how private the star usually is.
However, the ambiguity of her carefully chosen wording left some scratching their heads; was Jackson pregnant or planning to be?
The answer, if new reports are to be believed, suggest the iconic singer is indeed with child.
Entertainment Tonight have gone to press touting the following:
Just days before Mother’s Day, a source confirms to ET that Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child.
Jackson later confirmed the rumors with a video detailing her plans to start a family. The announcement followed word her postponed ‘Unbreakable’ world tour would reboot in 2017.

Im surprised to see TLC much higher than DC on that list
Are you mad that “No Sleeep” became Janet’s longest running #1 R&B radio hit ever? http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6714515/janet-jackson-no-sleeep-longest-running-number-1-hot-rb-songs
Sorry your fav couldn’t.
ON ADULT RADIO HUNNY TRY AGAIN, RETIRE JANET DO US ALL OF FAVOR, SHE WILL NEVER HAVE HER EMANCIPATION MOMENT OR BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT LIKE MARIAH OR MARY.. JANET IS STALE AND CHEAP. SHE DONT EVEN PUT MONEY INTO THEM CHEAP VIDEOS SHE MAKE, GRANDMA IS GETTING STIFF, HER TOUR A MESS HOW YOU GO FROM PROPS TO NOW YOU WANT TO TIRE YOUR OLD SELF OUT DOING ALL THIS DANCING, GRANDMA BY TAKE CARE OF YOUR GRANDCHILD THAT YOUR GOING TO SHOW THE WORLD ON CHRISTMAS
A breakthrough moment like Mariah or Mary? Janet is #7 of all-time according to Billboard. http://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-artists
Mary isn’t Top 100. She will never be on Janet’s level. You have it mixed up. And looking at how Mary has been flopping hard over the last decade, she will never make the top 100 of all-time.
“Has-beens” don’t make haters like you upset. “Has-beens” don’t make haters like you rant. “Has-beens” don’t get press coverage. “Has-beens” are not legends.
Keep on hating but the only one making a fool out of themself is you. If Janet is not your cup of tea move on to another brand. Nobody is forcing you to support or hate Janet. Only crazy obsessed people hate that hard on a celebrity. You act like Janet owes you something. She does not owe you anything. She is living her life and you should live yours too.
What’s a dawn
It’s really a mixed feeling
Looking at this 50 year old woman in a video
and realizing she’s 10x better performer than most of this generation basic bishs, and their getting all these radio plays, performing at huge evens and all the media buzz. Sad.
LIKE FOR REAL!!! Does the age stop people from getting recognized? unfortunately, it does.
I swear if they give Janet a chance to perform at the vma’s she’d stole the show in minute. She’s a beast.
NOT IF BEYONCE OR JLO WAS THERE, NOW YOU KNOW DAM WELL JANET CANT KEEP UP WITH THEM.
Dawn is really stupid it I mean dawn brought up Janet’s lessers that were solely influenced by Janet Jackson they careers and music are not as stellar
There performances are stellar in addition to there tours,
There are rumors going around that she has already had the baby
Not judging by how she looked yesterday when I saw her.
She will announce she had her grand baby tomorrow, talking about this is the best gift I was given
Get off Janet’s c***. You are all up in Janet’s business cause you don’t have any of your own.
Nice
