Jermaine Dupri on the way out of Island Def Jam?
SOHH is reporting that
Jermaine Dupri might be out as Island Def Jam’s head of the urban department thanks to flops like Mariah Carey’s
E=MC2 and Janet Jackson’s
Discipline , which had little success beyond their first singles. Perhaps the Island brass are going to teach Dupri money (at least in the record business) is indeed,
a thing. [
