{blackbabes} Janet Jackson will start her comeback at BET awards

The first stop on Janet Jackson's comeback tour will be the BET Awards.

A source exclusively revealed to Page Six that the "Rhythm Nation" singer will be honored at the event next Sunday.

The network's been extremely tight-lipped about the production, but we hear Ciara will be one of the performers who will pay tribute to the reclusive pop star.

"Janet's known for her dancing, so expect a lot of dancing," said the source. This will be Jackson's first major television appearance in three years. She last appeared on the BET Awards show in 2009 to pay homage to brother Michael three days after his death.

Superstar Janet married Qatari business magnate Wissam Al Mana in 2012 and has since been spending most of her time in the Middle East.

Her absence from the spotlight has led fans to create a joke "missing persons" poster that circulated on Twitter in April.

"Too funny, too sweet," she tweeted in response to the mocking flier.

Jackson announced a new album and her "Unbreakable" tour last month.
