It looks like Janet Jackson may be losing some outraged fans, and probably rethinking her management team after they allegedly had fans Instagram videos, and photos from their accounts deleted when they posted coverage from Jackson's Unbreakable World Tour. Following the issue, Jackson encouraged everyone to "keep posting."

In a message to her fans, Michael Jackson's baby sister wrote: "Hey you guys, I have been listening... I love and appreciate my fans. I want you to know that I enjoy watching the short video clips of how you are Burning It Up at the Unbreakable shows. Please keep posting them."

She continued in her Twitter statment: "My team is passionate about protecting the intellectual property we are creating for the tour and possible future projects. It was never their intention, acting on my behalf, to have social media accounts removed. Permitting the use of long clips does present a contractual problem for these projects. I hope you understand. I trust the fans will use their short recordings for their own memories and to share on their social media networks of choice."

Jackson finished with, "I have asked my team to change their approach and allow you to engage socially with these videos. I know I wouldn't be here without the love I stand on."

According to Page Six, some fans have been receiving messages from Instagram that reads: "a third party reported that the content violates their copyright."

One outraged concert-goer told the site that her Instagram account was deleted, "Without warning. Every. Single. Photo. Gone."

Another fan said that they saw "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."

Since the drama, Instagram also released a statement about Jackson's photos, and videos and said:

"When we receive a valid report of intellectual property infringement, we're legally required to remove the reported content and to disable the accounts of repeat infringers." The statement continued, "We have identified a bug that resulted in the removal of accounts that shouldn't have been removed.

"We have fixed the bug and are in the process of restoring the impacted accounts."

Instagram also believes that some of the disable accounts were probably bugged. They claimed those type of issues didn't come from them, nor Jackson's team.
