Decades of domination.

Both Janet Jackson and Missy Elliott are two of modern music’s most enduring figures and celebrate their sisterhood on new single ‘BURNITUP!’

The pair also caught up recently and shared the snap above on social media moments ago.

Ready to find out why the pair are unlikely to reconcile following their split.

Well…mystery solved.  Get the disheartening news below:
