Pop queen Janet Jackson has been whipping up a frenzy of late with Urban hit ‘No Sleeep.’

Indeed, fans of the singer have been getting little rest these days following the slew of announcements the diva has been delivering. The latest of such reveals came this week with the debut of the J.Cole assisted remix of ‘Sleeep,’ which has now been christened the official album version.

With the re-energised incarnation of the cut now available on iTunes, both Jackson and Cole have shared a snap of themselves together.

No word on whether it’s from the singer’s concert visit earlier this week or from the video set.

What is certain, though, is that Team Janet are gearing up  for a major reveal today.

A mysterious countdown has appeared on her official website, with the end time being after the TODAY Show airs a sneak peek at the ‘Sleep’ visual this morning.

Seems like a full premiere online could very well be possible.

Stay tuned!

Perry, a longtime nemesis of Swift, offered a subtle jab while the outspoken Morgan opted for a more…umm…overt weigh in.
