Janet Jackson Insists She's Nobody's Mommy

"When I was seventeen
I did what people told me
I did what my father said
And let my mother mold me"

Janet Jackson says she is not a mother. In a terse statement released Wednesday, the 39-year-old singer denied a former brother-in-law's claim that she has a "secret" 18-year-old daughter.

"I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false," Jackson said.

On Friday, Young DeBarge, the brother of Jackson's ex-husband, James DeBarge, said Jackson and his brother had a child named Renee that was living with Rebbie Jackson, Janet's oldest sister.

Well, she did hide a secret marriage for almost ten years, and this rumor has been whispered about for a very long time. You know, about eighteen years.
