Jay-Z Moving to Columbia?

JayZ_Steve_14211250_400.jpg

It's another week and there's yet another rumor floating around that Jay-Z is leaving Def Jam. But this time the word on the street is that Jigga will change clothes and go over to Columbia, the label home of his sweetheart Beyoncé.

Apparently President Carter hasn't taken too kindly to Jermaine Dupri being brought on board as president of the Island Urban music division this past February and he is ret to go. According to sources, Jay is being wooed to Columbia by Rick Rubin who is busy flipping the staff at the label now that he is co-chair.

And if you know your hip hop history then you know that Rubin co-created the legendary label that Jay-Z has managed to run into the ground. How's that for irony?

Yo, why does it seem like everybody hating on Jay? Let that man move and make moves. Why he cant leave DefJam on account that he has outgrown that phase and looking for better opportunities!?!?!?! Shout out to Jigga, who must be doing something right, considering next to Oprah he grossed the most in the year 2006, J D who?........... HOLLA!!!!!!

Bottom line like it always been it was Dame dash that was running the ROC.

obviously the person who does the real hiring felt the need for jermaine dupree so if jay z feels that there is not enough creative air for him to breathe. Breathe else where.
