Talk about a mama on her grind!
Earlier this year, Janet Jackson gave birth to her first child Eissa al Mana and endured a divorce, but she also set out to continue the world tour she canceled back in 2016.
We all know how Janet can easily bounce back from weight gain, so the prospect of her continuing a world tour in a matter of months after giving birth seemed doable for the 51-year-old superstar. And she’s proving just how “doable” it is with a new photo she posted on Twitter yesterday (Aug. 7).
“Hey u guys. I’m so excited for the State of the World Tour. We r in rehearsal mode. See u guys in 1 month!” she tweeted, along with a photo showing her practicing choreography in a studio with a dancer.
