Someone needs to remind JJ that it's her titties that put her in this precarious position in the first place...
A rep for Janet Jackson has confirmed that the singer has left Island Records after releasing just one album under a deal signed 14 months ago.
"At her request, the record label has agreed to dissolve their working relationship," her publicist, Patti Webster, said in a statement to EURweb.
"Now, more than 20 years after the release of her iconic album, 'Control,' Janet will have autonomy over her career, without the restrictions of a label system," the statement continued. "Always known to break new ground and set trends, Janet’s departure from Island makes her one of the first superstar artists to have the individual freedom to promote their work through a variety of avenues such as iTunes, mobile carriers and other diverse and innovative channels."
Rumblings of Janet trouble at Island began surfacing shortly after the February release of her Island Def Jam album "Discipline." Jackson reportedly felt that had very little promotional support from the label.
Executive produced by Jackson and her Ewok boyfriend, Island Urban president Jermaine Dupri, "Discipline" debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in March with 181,000 copies sold. But it has shifted only 415,000 copies in the United States so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and spent just 14 weeks on the chart.
The entertainer is currently in the midst of her "Rock Witchu Tour," which kicked off on Sept. 10 in Vancouver, BC and will make stops in major cities across the United States and Canada.
Poor poor Janet. It might be time for her and Michael to make another comeback together. Anyone remember this...?

It's quite sad to see someone like Janet without a label, and even though people have said that they have "Forgiven" Janet for the nip slip, I still think that her albums haven't sold, her singles aren't played on the radio only cos she showed her nipples in front of the American Audience.If that would have happened her in England people would have been... huh.. and the big deal is?
