Why did Janet Jackson cancel her performance
Following the death of one of the Jackson 5 group members, Tito Jackson, DStv Delicious first issued a statement acknowledging his passing. At the time, Janet's availability remained unclear, however, it has now been announced that the legendary singer would not be performing.
"For obvious reasons, Janet has to cancel her performance at the DStv Delicious Festival to be with her family."
How fans feel about Jason and Busta headlining
Reacting to the news under the Dstv Delicious X page, fans had this to say.
@Nomonde_sky asked:
"Nice, but for those who really wanted to come for Janet and nobody else, may we kindly get a refund? It can’t be impossible, and it’s weird of y’all to be quiet about this."
@BongiweGambu expressed:
"@BustaRhymes, How do I even go about their day knowing my fave is coming to perform?"
@MadamAfrika said:
"I can’t believe you called replacing Janet Jackson with Jason Derulo “cranking up the heat”
@MissLuu_ argued:
"The same @Jasonderulo who once performed in South Africa with former President Jacob Zuma seated in the front row. The crowd wasn't responding due to his whack music and sound.. he paused mid-performance and asked the crowd, “Anyone in the room speak English?”.. that same guy?"
