Jermaine Dupri
Universal Music Group named Jermaine Dupri the new president of urban music for Island Records today (February 7).
According to Billboard.com, the hip-hop mogul, who has produced hits for artists such as Mariah Carey, Usher, Bow Wow and Da Brat, is set to take over the position at Island, after vacating his post at Virgin Records. As previously reported by SOHH, Dupri recently stepped down from his position as president of urban music at Virgin, apparently after the lackluster sales of Janet Jackson's latest release 20 Y.O., which Dupri co-executive produced.
During his stint at Virgin, Dupri was responsible for signing Atlanta group Dem Franchize Boys and also was involved with Big Boi's Purple Ribbon label.
Dupri will be reunited with Antonio "L.A" Reid, who is chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group, as well as friend Jay-Z, president of Def Jam.

Congrats to Jermaine Dupri. Dude was just named President of Island Urban Music.
Y'all know what this is...
As previously reported by SOHH, Dupri recently stepped down from his position as president of urban music at Virgin, apparently after the lackluster sales of Janet Jackson's latest release 20 Y.O., which Dupri co-executive produced.
But while you were wondering why Ray J and Kim were so damn adamant about there not being a sex tape, when they clearly used up at least a dozen tapes over the course of this filming, we were making note of R. Kelly's antics to avoid his child pornography trial and compiling our
Ok, what is wrong with this picture? Other the groupie that tried to get up in this shot, you’ve got Lloyd chillin with former porn star boyfriend of Kim Kardashian—Ray-J posing right next to current Boyfriend of Kim’s Nick Cannon.
You see ladies, we men don’t have no problem sharing hoe’s!
Alonzo Mourning and JD were photographed chillin together. Damn JD is a little ass dude.
Ludacris is definitely giving back by being photographed with these two plastic surgery twins.
Jermaine Dupri Talks Presidency, Janet, Usher, and MC!!

Atlanta’s own Jermaine Dupri, called into the Funk Flex Show in NYC last week to clear up all the rumors about JD’s new job as President of Island Def Jam records. He talks everything from Mariah, to Usher, to even Janet Jackson. Now that Janet’s contract is officially over at Virgin, could she be moving over to Island Def-Jam?
I don’t know, but would that be a good look for the Island Def Jam to having to ballad powerhouse(ish) MC, and Pop Leader(ish) Janet on the same label? And whatever happened to that damn duet that was supposed to happen between the two?
Talk to Y'all lata,
