Last week, we were all left suitably shocked when it was announced that Janet Jackson had split from her husband, Wissam Al Mana, just weeks after welcoming their first child together.
The break-up news raised eyebrows as it was claimed that in Janet and Wissam’s pre-nup, Janet was entitled to a huge fortune from millionaire businessman Wissam if they stayed together for five years, with their split coming after around five years of marriage.
However, Janet’s honour has been defended by her creative director and close friend, Gil Duldulao, who slammed speculation that the superstar was asking for a $500million payout from her estranged husband.
Posting on Instagram, he wrote: “I want to state what I have to say as a friend. Even if there was a possibility that my friend could make $500 mil off of having a child, it’s not in her character to want and/or accept 500 mil. It’s character people and she is not the one.
“She would never accept a payout or want a payout.
“That’s the human being I know. So you f***ers that state that – f**k you. That’s not my friend and will never be. Point blank period.
“AND if you checked your facts, she has been married for four years, not 5 and something months to claim she will get 500mil. So keep trying, you a**holes.”
The rant comes after Wissam took to his website over the weekend to gush about Janet, proving that things were still incredibly amicable between the two, Wissam wrote: “To the most beautiful person in the world, thank you for your divine love, your eternal support and for being my best friend.
“I love you so much, inshallah we will be together in the Great Forever x”.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source previously revealed that there were no hard feelings between the couple, sharing: “Sadly, Janet and Wissam have decided that it wasn’t working and to go their separate ways.
“They’re both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they’re apart.”
The insider went on to add that the pair have parted on good terms and that the couple’s three-month-old son, Eissa, will be living with Janet in London.
