Janet Jackson closed out her ‘State of the World Tour’ on Sunday night (12-17-17), with her last show in Atlanta, Ga. It was a helluva experience for Janet, that was full of “firsts” for the 51 year old living legend. It was her first time back on stage since separating from her soon-to-be-ex husband, Wissam Al Mana. It was her first time on stage as a mother (depending on who you ask, because conspiracy theorists still believe Janet may have a grown child out there somewhere). Lastly, it was her first time bringing out Missy Elliot to surprise her fans during her tour. Check it out below…

Missy’s Reveal About Her & Janet
Of course, Missy tore that stage ALL the way up at Janet’s concert, just as she always does! But here’s the kicker that most of us never knew: Janet and Missy are not just phenomenal entertainers, they are actually VERY close friends.
Apparently, they’ve been close for many years, but have kept that part of their lives away from the public eye. Their secrecy is very understandable and so is their friendship, because they have much in common. They are naturally very private celebrities and are both very protective of those who are closest to them. Janet is that way with everyone in her iconic Jackson family- even when she was going through some differences with her niece, Paris Jackson, a few years ago.
Missy’s private life is damn near non-existent in the public eye. For example, for years, fans have tried to figure out which -if any- man (or woman) she’s dating, but to no avail. Now though, Missy has let all of us in on her and Janet’s secret friendship. She’s just paid homage to her homie, Janet, online and thanked her for always being there when she needs her:
@JanetJackson u have always answered when I called u have listen to me vent & been there for me all these years I couldn’t ask for a better friend who has so many accolades & Rich but SO HUMBLE! You are my definition of GREATNESS!❤️

Awww, Janet’s been that shoulder for her “Supa Dupa Fly” friend to lean on. It’s just like Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Dionne Warwick, and Gladys Knight said back in the day “That’s What Friends Are For”…
