Janet Jackson’s fans are accusing the singer and her team of acting “Nasty” after they posted pics of her current “Unbreakable” tour on their Instagram feeds.
Numerous fans have claimed that after posting pics of Jackson live in concert, they’ve received e-mails from the social-media app explaining: “a third party reported that the content violates their copyright.”
One Jackson concert-goer in Los Angeles told Page Six that the morning after the concert, her Instagram account was deleted, “Without warning. Every. Single. Photo. Gone.”
Another blogger reported the same issue, claiming they had, “five e-mails from Instagram . . . about the five videos I had posted . . . It seems like Miss Jackson’s [legal] team is on fire. What a shame they don’t understand the times we live in.”
Jackson’s team is known to be legally strict.
As Page Six reported this month, a producer named Seven Aurelius — who’s worked with Mariah Carey and others — is claiming his SoundCloud and YouTube accounts were deleted after he posted a previously unreleased song he said he produced with Jackson. And Jackson’s contract for concert photographers states they can only take pics during the first 30 seconds of the first song.
But a rep for Instagram blamed the issue on “a bug.” “We have identified a bug that resulted in the removal of accounts that shouldn’t have been removed,” the rep said in a statement. “We have fixed the bug and are in the process of restoring the impacted accounts.” Only “repeat infringers’’” accounts will be deleted.
