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.
