A social media user left Jermaine Dupri gagged after they shared a spicy message about him “fumbling” his ex-girlfriend, Janet Jackson.
On Sunday, June 23, Dupri took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to pose a question to his over one million followers. The 51-year-old appeared curious about the success of Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash concert, which took place in Atlanta on Saturday, June 22.
“So I got a question ? if the kids 16 to 30 are not listening to the radio, how does @hot1079atl birthday bash sell out and pls don’t say social media” he wrote.
Dupri’s questions prompted many reactions. However, there was one response shared about 30 minutes after his post that caught his attention.
“Jermaine we not answering questions from anyone that fumbled Janet Jackson,” X user @Tupacaveli replied.
The X user’s spicy response appeared to gag Dupri, who was seemingly left speechless.
“Whew whew you just said something !!” the music producer wrote.
Dupri has yet to return to the platform.
Check out the interaction below.
Social media users reacted to the viral exchange between the X user and Dupri in The Shade Room’s comment section.
According to WBLS, Dupri was recently spotted with Jackson at the One Music Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, in October 2023. The outlet noted that the pair’s link-up arrived about 13 years after they called it quits on their romance.
Dupri and Jackson reportedly dated between 2002-2009.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Dupri most recently opened up about their romance in March 2023. During an interview with podcast hosts Gille Da Kid and Wallo, Dupri reportedly explained that his and Jackson’s relationship sparked very casually.
“It was just on some like hang out [stuff],” he reportedly told the hosts at the time.
The outlet adds that in 2020, Dupri opened up about the downfall of his and Jackson’s romance while speaking with T.I.
“I started seeing so many other things that I wanted to do, and so many other places that I wanted to go,” Dupri reportedly explained to the rapper. “I started thinking like marriage for me wasn’t gonna work… I felt married… I think the only thing that created a difference for me was the fact that we didn’t live together… She wasn’t willing to move to Atlanta. She was willing to come out here for a couple of weeks. But living in Atlanta, for her, just didn’t really seem like L.A. [And] I wasn’t ready to move to Malibu.”
