Singer Janet Jackson has been admitted to hospital after she fell ill hours before her scheduled concert in Montreal.

"A 42-year-old body can't handle what a 22-year-old body can. I can tell you that she's definitely tired. It was probably exhaustion. She is doing back-to-back, three-hour shows, and her body isn't the same as it used to be," said the source.

However, Dupri was spotted in New York City partying at Patron's Music in Motion Tour featuring TI at Marquee, on the same night that Jackson was rushed to the hospital.

"If [Janet's condition] was more serious he would've rushed to her side," added the source.
