Dupri slams Jackson split rumours

Record producer Jermaine Dupri has slammed reports he has split from longtime love Janet Jackson.

The couple have been an item for four years, and were only recently rumoured to be planning to marry and start a family together.

Reports this week claimed the couple had been rowing over the singer's recently stalled tour and as a result, Dupri had moved out of Jackson's Los Angeles home.

But Dupri has set the record straight with an online posting, assuring fans the couple are still together - while insisting they are not preparing for their first child.

In a message "to all the Janet fans", he wrote on his blog: "No she is not pregnant and yes we're still together."
