While it has not been officially confirmed, it is believed that Janet Jackson has fully converted to Islam.
In 2012 she married Wissam Al Mana, and many believe that she converted to Islam after the wedding.
It has not stopped her from pursing her career, and she seems quite happy with her husband.
If she did convert, she is not the first Jackson to do so. Jermaine Jackson also converted to Islam.
For Janet Jackson’s tour, 88 percent of the tickets sold out in just two weeks. She’s shocked audiences by performing in a long white ensemble — a far cry from her sexy tours of the past.
Perhaps the 49-year-old opted for a more age-appropriate wardrobe — or maybe that new look has something to do with her marriage to billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana.
“Artists like Cat Stevens and Mos Def wear their spirituality a little more on their sleeves,” says Dion Summers, vice president of urban programming at SiriusXM. “If Janet has converted, she’s definitely not putting any religious edicts forward on the album.”
