Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- U.S. music producer Jermaine Dupri was ousted from his post as president of Island Records this week, a source told the New York Post.
Dupri is the longtime boyfriend of pop star Janet Jackson and reportedly has been widely criticized for the lackluster sales of her latest CD "Discipline."
"After Janet Jackson's album and tour bombed, he basically didn't come back to work. He still collected a paycheck, but didn't bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up. Executives tried to talk to him, but he just lost heart," the insider told the newspaper, adding Dupri left the company Wednesday.
A representative for Island/Def Jam head L.A. Reid declined to comment on the story when contacted by the Post.
