While we wait on official confirmation, Jackson goes into detail about her weight loss, staying fit, health and more in the July 9 issue of JET. 

Just last year, Jackson released a book about her struggle with weight. 

Titled "True You," the best-selling book was a personal triumph and way for Jackson to connect with women and girls who have struggled with weight due to a variety of issues. ?

"I would literally bang my head up against the wall because I didn't feel attractive. There was a lot of pain in my life. But I did. I felt very unattractive," Jackson admitted. "There was this picture of my sister, Rebbie. And I would always look at her picture and I thought, "Oh Gosh, she's so beautiful. If I could only look like that when I get older. God, how gorgeous is she?" And I never ever felt attractive. And I still have issues with it. I don't bang my head up against the wall, but I still have those moments. And I think it'll probably continue but at least I know how to deal with it now. And I'm in a much better space." 

While Jackson has been on tour for much of the last few years, it has been a little while since we've heard new music from her. As widely reported, Janet Jackson departed Island Def Jam in 2008.
