Janet Jackson has gone online to thanks fans for supporting her through her recent illness.

A bout of vertigo forced the star to cancel a string of shows earlier this month and she returned to the stage last week.

Now, fully recovered, Jackson has posted a video message to fans on YouTube.

In it, the Nasty hitmaker says, "I want to thank you for all your messages and all your love and support when I wasn't feeling very well. I'm a lot better now."

She also uses the video, shot by boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, to dismiss reports the two have split.

Dupri states, "Baby, they say you broke up with me because I threw up on you," to which Jackson snorts, "How lame is that?"
