A furious Janet Jackson is vowing to strike back at Beyonce for publicly ridiculing the way her parents raised her.

“Beyonce’s remark came out of left field and really stung Janet,” a family insider told The ENQUIRER.

In describing her own childhood, Beyonce recently told a reporter: “I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like The Jacksons.”

Then came the zinger: “But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”

When Janet heard about the slam, “she blew up,” revealed the insider.

“Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that.

“Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They’re not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she’s from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats.

“Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars.

“Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she’s planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act.”

Jermaine Dupri is going to have to find some new 40+ year old cakes to palm because Janet Jackson’s are now off limits:

Janet Jackson has split up with her long-term record producer boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, according to tabloid reports.

The couple has been an item for four years, and was only recently rumored to be planning to marry and start a family together.

However the National Enquirer claims Jackson and Dupri began battling over the failure of her recent tour, which he managed, and which ended with a string of canceled concerts because of illness and reports of poor ticket sales.

And sources tell the tabloid the 36-year-old has moved out of the superstar’s Los Angeles home, and they have agreed to spend time apart. The insider says, “Janet and Jermaine finally hit a wall. They were fighting over his management of her career. In the end, she decided to make a break.”

Representatives for the two have yet to comment on the reports.
