So I guess Jermaine Dupri isn’t fired from Island after all

This is why you can’t believe everything you read on the Internets. Last week I received an email from someone claiming to work at Island Records who wrote, “as we speak Jermaine Dupri’s termination of services contract is being typed.”

“Yeah, right,” I said as I sent a text message to my well-placed source who is practically a brother to JD. He didn’t respond which is normally what he does when the rumor is unfounded. I also have a spy who works in the mail room at Island Records who didn’t have a clue about the termination either.

I spoke with other industry professionals in Atlanta who believed the rumors even though there was no clear evidence to support them. This is the reason I didn’t follow along with all the other blogs which posted the rumor. I need evidence or at least a credible source before I put someone like Jermaine Dupri on the unemployment line.

On Monday, a rep from Def Jam shot down the rumors calling them “untrue”.

While his financial status may be in doubt, JD is still a much sought after producer. R&B singer Sammie, who desperately needs a hit, plans to work with the diminutive producer on his third studio album.

“We’re trying to get in with Nitti and trying to get a record from JD (Jermaine Dupri) this time,” he explains. “I haven’t worked with Jermaine since 2001. As far as producer wise it is going to be a stacked house and I’m looking forward to the album and what their going to come up with next.” (Source)

    I found an old cassette tape I had with popular songs of that time period, and Sammie’s old song is on there. Remember I like the way you look at me, I like the time we spend baby, I like what we have grown to be, I like it girl, dontcha know I like it baby.

    I LOVE THAT SONG!!! It was so cute and summery (real word). bouncy and happy
