Jermaine Dupri was booted as the president of Island Records on Wednesday.

According to a new report, J.D. was dropped from his position as President of Island Records Urban Music because he failed to turn up for work after girlfriend Janet Jackson’s 2008 album, Discipline, tanked on the charts.

A source told the New York Post on Friday, “After [his girlfriend] Janet Jackson’s album and tour bombed, he basically didn’t come back to work. He still collected a paycheck, but didn’t bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up. Executives tried to talk to him, but he just lost heart.”
