The ever-iconic Janet Jackson, who turns 50 this month, has some exciting baby news: Her new single “DammnBaby” just dropped. Also: SHE MIGHT BE PREGNANT! *record scratch* Whaaaaaaaat?
Jackson, who is married to Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, has not confirmed the reports or even addressed them, although back in April, she announced she postponed the second leg of her “Unbreakable” world tour as she and her husband worked on a family.
“I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour,” she told fans in a video released on Twitter. “Please, if you can try and understand that it’s important that I do this now. I have to rest up, doctor’s orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.”
And though her reps are remaining mum, sources close to Jackson say she IS in fact preggers. Jackson herself may have dropped a hint Wednesday when she tweeted a preview of her new video for DammnBaby. Perhaps more tellingly, she also posted an outside tweet that read, “On the same day news broke that she was expecting her first child, Miss Jackson premiered “DammnBaby,” a throwback dance video that fans have been clamoring for” without denying the story.

Watch the music video below, and help me figure out: Is it a radio hit? A return to her top 40 glory days? Or more in the vein of “Discipline” and her other post-90s musical forays?
