Janet Jackson called police to perform a welfare check on her toddler son with estranged husband Wissam Al Mana on Saturday, according to the Malibu County Sheriff’s Office.
The concerned mom placed a call to police shortly before 10 p.m. to respond to the Nobu Hotel, where the boy was staying with his father. Jackson was not at the scene, according to Fox News.
Jackson’s older brother, Randy Jackson, told Entertainment Tonight that his sister called 911 after being contacted by a nanny who became frightened by the Qatari billionaire’s behavior which she described as aggressive.
Randy told ET the nanny was “terrified by his behavior and locked herself in a bathroom, so she could contact Janet.”

Jackson and Al Mana welcomed their son, Eissa Al Mana, on Jan. 2, 2017 in London, England. The couple split up three months later amid cheating rumors.
Jackson, 52, became the first black woman ever to be honored with the Icon Award at the Billboard Music Awards on Jan. 20 in Las Vegas.
She pledged her support for abused women and gender discrimination, saying, “It’s a moment when at long last women have made it clear that we will no longer be controlled, manipulated or abused.”
