Reportedly rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z is looking at leaving Island Def Jam which he is currently heading as the President/CEO. The rapper is allegedly looking at going over to Columbia Records, the home of Beyonce. According to New York Daily News, insiders stated that the arrival of Jermaine Dupri as president of the Island Urban music division in February is the reason.

“There isn’t room for two kings at one label,” says a source. “Why would Island bring in another power-hitter urban guy?”

Everyone was waiting on Janet to leave Virgin and now the entertainer has finally left. Janet Jackson has reportedly left her longtime label to join Jermaine Dupri at Island Def Jam.

‘She’s on Island, but it’s more or less [Def Jam CEO Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid’s] project,” Dupri was reported as saying. ”I let him deal with that on a day-to-day basis. … Janet’s record is one that he’s wanted to do for a long time. He’s very passionate about it. I don’t really know what he’s got in mind at this point. His past record isn’t shabby so I’m going to let him do what he’s going to do.”
