Janet Jackson‘s decision to steer clear of celebrity within the last decade has brought its pros and cons.
On one hand, it’s seen her enjoy a life of privacy away from the pressures stardom often brings.
However, it’s also seen her legacy left in the hands of a fickle industry who, for one reason or another, have erased her impact on Pop culture from the genre’s history books.
With this in mind, it may come as little surprise to see music lovers who are too young to remember said impact have clung to claims that she married and divorced her husband for money.
Today, her best friend Gil Duldulao has blasted these fans.
Gil is one of Janet’s longest-running creative directors and published the message above after watching the icon face memes like the one below.

Sorry IMO her music isn’t what’s happening unless she does what TLC did and scam her fans to donating funds to put out an album 2 years later, oops ? never mind I guess lip singing is still a key ask Britney Spears…??♂️
Janet is a legend. Anything she does now is not for record sales or accolades. She have already proved herself and solidified her place in music history. Unlike today’s artists, she has a well-established legacy that will continue on long after she leaves the world and a timeless catalog that is very much relevant. Janet has classics not “hot for the moment” songs.
youre absolutely right. janet is a legend. she doesnt have to do anything else now. to all the haters… its Ms Janet if youre nasty!
I like Gil. He is a true friend to Janet. He always have her back.
I think she was really in love with him but even if she was after his money, she won’t see 500 million from that business ARAB man, people are delusional, I think her fans started to say that she was after her money to distract people from the fact that this is her third failed marriage, and that she was probably oppressed by him in many ways, and it backfired on Janet because people started to call her a gold digger, some fans don’t know how much their behavior affects the image of their idol.
Gurl stfu!!
How does the second richest Jackson get labeled a golddigger? Janet carried many broke men in her past.. Plus Janet wrote songs that still play in your local grocery stores.. Folks stay trying Janet.
Amen on that, Janet has her own and carried 2 husbands a boyfriend for years with the account still large from residuals alone BOOM!
Lol it amazes me how people can literally make up a story and have morons automatically believe it. Janet is separated from her husband; no divorce has ever been filed by either party. There isn’t any filed prenup anywhere to be found either. So some jackass pulled a number out of his ass and attached this story to it and folks just took it as fact. We are truly living in a nation of morons lol.
The only reason why her music “isn’t whats happening” is because this generation is soo damn fickle and don’t understand music. It’s about everything else but the music to most of y’all. Her last album was great… While it was independent, and that could explain most of it’s peaks, it still could sit with any of the albums released by majors in the last few years.
I still need her to call TINA Landon! Gil got theses routines looking stale.
Gil can never stay quiet, and really what it shows is that he has too much control in Janet’s business affairs. Janet is strong enough to speak for herself, and never does she address the public with the same disgusting language as some of those who negatively criticize her. Gil is a poor representation for Janet and I long for the day when he takes his costume ideas and dance routines and locates a seat for himself OFF STAGE so Janet can finally have more freedom to use her own voice and generate her own ideas.
I have to say it’s been quite irritating to see these internet trolls talkin out the side of their necks about Janet Jackson. She’s been getting paid since before many of these idiots on ‘Black Twitter” were even a s**** cell in their dads’ nutsacks! And besides that, nobody even has the slightest bit of proof that Janet has any prenup at all, let alone one that gives her HALF of this man’s money! Ya’ll young bucks need to stop disrespectin your faves fave!
