Jay-Z Leaving Def Jam For Columbia Records? Refuses To Work With Jermaine Dupri

July 25th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Tagged as Def Jam · Jay-Z

Following months of speculation, celebrity informants report that Jay-Z will leave as the head of Def Jam at the September end of his contract to sign a lucrative deal with Columbia Records. There is speculation that Jermaine Dupri’s February implant as head of Island Urban may have prompted Jay’s departure.

“There isn’t room for two kings at one label,” says a mole. “Why would Island bring in another power-hitter urban guy?”

“He’s creating a supergroup of staff,” according to a second spywitness. “So it would make sense that he would want Jay on his side.”

    I hate 2 say this but I think Jay-Z’s ego is a little out of control. For someone whose career mainly consists of calling black women b*tches and h*es and calling black men n*ggas one would think Jay-Z would want 2 calm down a little and REALLY change his image. He’s only “the man” w/ regard 2 Beyonce’ because obviously she has somewhat of a self-esteem problem. Surely she does not support being called a b*tch or a h*e. Or does she????
