Despite rumors that the 42-year-old "Damita Jo" singer is with child, her boyfriend, rapper/producer Jermaine Dupri, says that the two definitely aren't expecting.

Several dates on Jackson's Rockwitchu tour were postponed, and eventually the entire outing was canceled altogether, after the former Good Times actress was briefly hospitalized with an undisclosed ailment in September.

Not long after, Life & Style ran a story claiming that friends of the singer had confirmed that she is with child.

Now Dupri, 36, has taken to his Web site, Global 14, to dispel the rumors.

"To all the Janet fans," the announcement reads [typos retained for flavor], "As you all know Janet is a very private person. The only reason you see her as much as you do on my YouTube vlog is because of me LOL. But I hear yall and your questions, so hear you have it...No she is not pregnant and yes we're still together. It baffles me how yall let these blog and magazines control your lifes. That's why I created Global14.com so when ever hear sh*t about me you can come right here and get the truth."

Right on, Jermaine! But you can't blame folks for wanting to celebrate your good news with you!
