JERMAINE DUPRI GETS FIRED FROM HIS JOB AT DEF JAM ... WONDER WHAT HE'LL DO FOR MONEY!!!

January 09, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that yesterday Island Def Jam fired Jermaine Dupri. Here's how the NY Post is reporting it:

JERMAINE Dupri has left the Universal Music building. Dupri was president of Island Records until he was unceremoniously booted on Wednesday.

A source said, "After [his girlfriend] 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."

Dupri was widely blamed for Jackson's album flop as he insisted on letting her get her way on song selection and production of the release, "Discipline."

Dang .
