Dallas Austin Fires Rowdy Staff

According to Drewreports.com, producer Dallas Austin fired his entire staff at Rowdy Records last week. Supposedly, financial backers have abandoned Dallas and left him holding the bag, so to speak.
A family member who was unnamed in the story, was also let go. But according to industry insiders the fired family member turns out to be Juan Farmer aka Jebron F. Kennedy who runs the popular “Hollywood Hideout” soiree on Wednesday nights at Noir. So he should be fine financially - although Juan was a regular skinflint when it came to dropping cash on the little people like photographers.
I’m assuming that Sharliss Asbury is also gone. Some of you may remember she was L.A. Reid’s personal assistant at LaFace Records back in the day.

Madd a** hell, since when dudes started carrying purses isnt there a written men law against this “BS”, Im just sayin….
He need something to carry his Weed in … come on now .. you know how he DO !!!
maybe someone got wind of all that shucking and jiving he did behind Brandon Davis..I have no respect for Dallas
okay mizzdallas I am with you. it just seems to me that more men are carrying purses on the red carpet, than woman. pay attention. metrosexual my behind!
Fired or closing Rowdy down? After his clown act recently he is done anyway…
movin on..
Wasn’t he about to get life in a foreign jail for drug trafficking, until he got some bigwigs to speak to the country on his behalf??
Crack kills! Just say no!
I like Dallas and his production, but who is still signed to Rowdy?
damn, prior to this story i didn’t realize rowdy still existed…
After seeing that video of Dallas on t m z with him being chummy with that Brandon whatever his name is right after Brandon was caught on tape calling a photog a n*gger I have no respect for him. Not that I had respect for him in the past, but watching him say leave Brandon alone he loves n*ggas I begin to wish Dubai would have locked his ass up for that drug case.
didn’t rowdy put out ONE cd, monica’s ms thang??? i actually thought they shut down on the hush years ago. It’s business first, family second. It’s nothing personal. I like Dallas and Pharell. They dont dress flashy; just keep it simple. They can lose the man bags though. I’m not buying into that theory. Uh uh. What’s next–makeup for men?
Dallas has been wack for a long, long time now. So he’s not even worth the energy to type about.
Rowdy is still up and running. They have the hottest MC from Philly about to drop his new ablum Sychotic. His name is Sy Scott.
www.myspace.com/syscott or www.mcsyscott.com
He can rap in reverse, killing everyone that thinks they can rap, peep him from his old Eric Sermon days. Dallas has a new movie coming out “8 daze in a weakend” and Sy has the first single.
Rowdy is not dead believe that, sometimes you just have to clean house and start over with good people on your team.
Sharliss Asbury is the *&^% she aint going nowhere.
WOW … I saw that spot on t m z .. where that dough Boi called a stalkerazzi out their name .. i didn’t see Ole Dallas shuckin and defending him …. very intresting …
I thought Sharliss was an event planner or somthing after LaFace went defunct? I know, i’m so out of touch with what these industry people are doing.
@ pointhimout Says:

Yeah, Rowdy Records sign Monica for her first album, and I think her major recod label bought her out of her contract, the same-thing happen with Ciara when she was first sign to “Sho’Nuff” records Jazze Pha record label and her record label bought her contract out from Jazze Pha she said this on wendy williams show!
maybe he had a crack moment and cleaned house to see if he could find that rock he dropped lol….. but really as they say, if you aint making money at it, its a hobby.
He probably fired them because he wasn’t pulling in the dollars…
Did Dallas luck up on someones old ass carry on he found on the Greyhound in Tunica, MS?
