US singer, Janet Jackson who is currently on a music tour, drew concern from fans when she broke down in tears while singing her song "What About" at her concert at Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday night, but her fans did not however buy her drama on stage.

It marked a rare emotional moment during an otherwise joyful and high-energy show, her second as part of her newly renamed State of the World tour, which began two days prior and followed her maternity leave. 

The 51-year-old pop star paused after performing her 1997 song "What About," a new addition to her setlist, covered her face with one hand, bent over and sobbed for a few seconds. She then stood and said, "This is me."

The song is about domestic violence. Sample lyrics include, "What about all the s--t you've done to me? / What about the times you hit my face? / What about the times you kept on when I said no more, please?"

But her fans were however not buying her drama on stage as they took to social media to react.

Recall that the sister to the late Micheal Jackson, and her estranged husband - Qatari billionaire businessman, Wissam Al Mana are currently in the middle of a divorce as they also work out custody arrangements for their son.

The former couples married quietly in 2012 and split in April, three months after they welcomed their son, Eissa. Since then, there were reports that Janet had enough of the restrictions that came with their marriage and wanted out.
