[NEWS] WAS L.A. REID FIRED FROM DEF JAM ??

THERE HAS BEEN TALK HERE AND THERE ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH RUMORS OF ANTONIO "L.A." REID BEING FIRED AS CEO OF ISLAND DEF JAM. THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR FALSE, GUESS WE HAVE TO WAIT TO FIND OUT.





STATEMENT VIA XXL MAGAZINE:

“[The rumors] are completely untrue and without merit,” the spokesman told XXL this afternoon over the phone.
Reid was appointed to the coveted role at Def Jam back in February of 2004, succeeding longtime label head Lyor Cohen. The record exec is responsible for signing such big name hip-hop acts as Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and most recently Shyne. —Elan Mancini
