JANET REVEALS REASON FOR CUTTING DEF JAM LOOSE

Tweet

Back in September Janet Jackson parted ways with Def Jam. Initially Janet blamed it on Def Jam’s lack of promotion for her latest album Discipline, but now she reveals the real reason behind her departure. Apparently, label bosses over at Def Jam wanted Miss Jackson to be the new Sade and she wasn’t going for it. WTF?! What were they thinking?! There can only be one Sade! But, Janet doesn’t regret her decision one bit as she walked away from it all still holding on to her integrity as well as a new direction in her career. She says,

“There were some people who didn’t like the direction I took with this album (Discipline). They wanted me to sound more like Sade, but I’m not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me.”

Not being locked down under a record contract has given Janet an opportunity to spend more time on her acting career. She continues,

“I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music – and acting is still a strong passion of mine – but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff”.

Def Jam was only trying to tell Janet what many have been saying for a while…no one wants to see her behind gyrating across the stage, leave that for Beyonce & Ciara. Real talk, Janet just needs to throw in the towel and take the L! Right now is the perfect time to get knocked up.
