Janet's rep confirms that she has left Island Def Jam
Always known to break new ground and set trends, Janet's departure from Island makes her one of the first superstar artists to have the individual freedom to promote their work through a variety of avenues such as iTunes, mobile carriers and other diverse and innovative channels."
"At her request, the record label has agreed to dissolve their working relationship," the singer's rep said in a statement to PEOPLE. "Now more than 20 years after the release of her iconic album, Control, Janet will have autonomy over her career, without the restrictions of a label system."
Moving forward, Jackson would seem to be a natural fit at Live Nation Artists, which is already home to Jay-Z, Nickelback and Shakira. A Live Nation spokesperson was unavailable for comment on the subject.

In a new vlog on Rap-Up.com, "Feedback" producer Rodney Jerkins revealed that Janet has left her record label Island Def Jam after requesting to be released from her contract.
"We felt like we made a great record with the record 'Feedback.' We felt like we made a great record with a song called 'Luv' that was supposed to be the second single, but we just feel like we didn't get the support from the record company. She felt like it wasn't pushed, I felt like it wasn't pushed correctly," he said in the interview. "She was asking to be released and got released."
He continued, "I have a great relationship established with her now. I told her, 'Whatever you need, whatever type of record you make, I'm here.' I would love to do another album with her, I've expressed that to her, where I could make an album with her - possibly me, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis."
He went on to say that Janet is not considering looking for another record deal until after the tour is over.
