In an video blog posted at Rap-Up.com, producer Rodney Jerkins confirmed rumors that Janet Jackson has left Island/Def Jam Records.
Jackson, who is currently in the midst of a sold out concert tour, did not release a statement. But Jerkins, who produced tracks on Jackson’s disappointing album, Discipline, did plenty of talking for her.
We didn’t get the support from the record company. Janet felt like it wasn’t pushed. I felt like it wasn’t pushed correctly. She just didn’t get her just due as an artist of that magnitude.
I could make an album with her, possibly me, Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis. Keep it real simple. They focus on what they’re great at, I focus on what I’m great at. We come together and make a classic Janet record. (Source)
