I just got off the phone with rapper Diamond, formerly of Crime Mob, who confirmed rumors that she recently signed a management deal with Ciara’s ex-manager, Philana Williams.
As you know, Williams steered Ciara’s to dizzying heights before Ciara’s career came crashing to earth earlier this year after Williams dropped her.
After shedding Ciara, Williams hit the ground running, signing new British talent Estelle as well as Diamond. Williams also has young singer Tiffany Evans in her stable.
Diamond cited Williams’ past A&R work on Usher and Jay Z’s albums as factors in her decision to sign with Williams.
“I’ve been watching her moves,” said Diamond. “I’m very excited. She’s somebody I want to have longevity with throughout my career.”
Expect a new album from Diamond in June or July of next year.
