Jermaine Dupri is finally revealing how he pulled the legendary Janet Jackson who he dated in the past for seven years. For years fans looked at the two celebrities wondering how a beautiful beauty like Janet would choose Dupri.
The always straight-forward– the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast aired their latest episode with Curren$y and Jermaine Dupri who are promoting their upcoming For Motivational Use Only album. During the sit-down, cohost Wallo asked the multi platinum producer how he pulled a superstar like Janet Jackson.
It wasn’t about [that],” JD said around the 48-minute mark of the interview below when Gillie implied the producer tried to woo the pop star with beats. “I wasn’t with no music sh*t. I was just on some like hang out.”
“I never wanted to produce her,” JD added. “We got in an argument about me not producing her because she was around me watching everybody else get hit records. I never wanted her to think that’s what my agenda was. ’Cause so many people was saying that…When Janet met me she got picked up from the airport in a [Bentley] Continental T.”
Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson began dating in 2002 until finally calling it quits in 2009. Back in 2017, there were reports that they might be getting back together, which turned out to be false. Last January, Jermaine admitted during the Janet Jackson docu-series that aired on Lifetime and A&E, him “being reckless” ultimately led to the end of their almost decade-long relationship. Thoughts?
No one is quite sure when Verzuz will make its triumphant return, but fans are looking forward to Jermaine Dupri versus Sean “Diddy” Combs. This pending match-up has been hyped for years, and while there was a time when a look from the two was just gossip, Dupri confirmed it’s in development. The So So Def hitmaker hasn’t been quiet about wanting to face off with his mogul peer. He’s declared himself the underdog in interviews, but Dupri is insistent that his catalog outweighs Diddy’s heat.
However, Yung Joc takes a different stance. He visited Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion and spoke on the two icons. “I always felt like Diddy understood how to go to the next level of what he was doing,” said the Love & Hip Hop star. “JD did, too, but JD again was doing so many other things that he didn’t focus on his artistry as much as Diddy did.” Both Diddy and Dupri helped produce classic hits, but they also saw charting success as artists.
Yung Joc Explains Choosing Diddy
The “It’s Goin’ Down” rapper added, “Diddy kinda stands next to what’s hot.” Joc explained that when Diddy is attached to something, “he makes it hotter.” He said, “[Diddy] will acknowledge what’s hot, and his acknowledgment brings awareness to what’s hot. And he blows it up. In theory, you think of all parties involved, and nine times out of ten, who was the bigger party involved? Diddy. So he understands marketing, and that’s the difference that he got over JD.”
Joc further argued that Dupri “focused on his strengths as a producer and writer.” However, Diddy was more of an artist or “flagship artist of his brand.” The rapper said, “No matter who he had, he’s branded as the flagship of Bad Boy. JD is So So Def, but the other artists were bigger than JD.” Some believe that Joc isn’t as objective as he portrays; although he resides in Atlanta, where Jermaine Dupri is like a music god, Joc was also signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy decades ago.
