As I told you earlier, there will be no replacement for Jay Z at Def Jam. You read this here first because, as you know, the same industry people who work closely with Jay are loyal Sandrarose.com fans who whisper in my ear on the low low.
The move not to replace Jay Z is “disappointing,” according to Chuck D who (lol) thought he was in line for the position. Island Records president of Urban Music Jermaine Dupri who was out of the country when Chuck D released his statement, was also rumored to get the top job.
The reality is L.A. Reid decided not to replace Jay Z with his arch nemesis Damon Dash because Jay’s fragile ego couldn’t take the resulting snickers from the industry – and L.A. needs Jay in his corner – so this might end up being a sound business decision for all involved.
