Social media is buzzing with reactions from fans about Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson. The pair began dating in 2002 and remained one of fans’ favorites for years. However, after seven years of enjoying a highly publicized romance, they went their separate ways. A considerable reason for their split was Dupri’s infidelity. Despite the years that have passed since their breakup, fans have not forgiven the rapper for losing Jackson. Recently, a fan on X reignited interest in Jermaine Dupri‘s relationship history with Jackson after they replied to a tweet the 51-year-old shared.
“So I got a question? If the kids 16 to 30 are not listening to the radio, how does @hot1079atl birthday bash sell out and please don’t say social media,” Dupri wrote in a tweet on Monday. While many took to the comments to answer the question, a particular fan chose to humble the record producer. “Jermaine we not answering questions from anyone that fumbled Janet Jackson,” they replied. Not long after, Dupri responded, seemingly agreeing he messed up. “Whew whew you just said something!!” he said. The Shade Room reposted the conversation on Instagram, leaving fans in stitches. Many praised Dupri for being genuine, honest, and accountable with his response.
It’s been over a decade since Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson broke up, but the pair still maintain a close bond. Dupri is sure things will remain that way regardless of whoever is in his life. In a 2022 Lifetime documentary, the rapper reflected on their relationship. Speaking about the actress, he said, “She’s one of the sexiest women in the world, I think she gave more women confidence to continue.” He continued, “I feel like we’re always going to have a friendship, regardless of what I’m doing or who’s in my life, or regardless of what’s going on. I didn’t need Janet Jackson to amplify my life, but I feel like it did.”
While there have been rumors of a reunion, it appears the pair have fully moved on. Who will be the next woman to be added to Jermaine Dupri’s relationship history? Only time will tell.
