Def Jam Furious With Kim Kardashian Over What?

Kim Kardashian stars in her fiancé Kanye West’s new video “Bound 2,” and upon its release, posted her own copy on her personal YouTube page. Music videos, especially that of a huge artist like Kanye, are big deals to record labels, with endorsement money and statistics and tons of other important factors playing a part in the specific placement of the visuals: typically the artist’s YouTube or VEVO page. Needless to say, Kanye’s label Def Jam was allegedly furious with Kim’s post. “Whatever Kim or Kanye were thinking, it was a ridiculous decision made without consultation,” a source said. “Kanye is an artist signed to Def Jam and it is the label who makes decisions about where videos and songs are released, not Kanye — and most certainly not Kim. From what the label can gather, Kim totally acted on her own accord. Her decision has cost the label a serious amount of money — and in the process, made her revenue from advertising on her YouTube page.” The video has since disappeared from Kim’s page, now replaced with a link to Ye’s VEVO page.


(Photos) Uh-Oh! Following In Jeezy’s Steps, Juelz Santana Trashes His Label Def Jam…& Guess Who May Sign Him!

Shortly after Jeezy took to Twitter to vent his frustrations with Def Jam Recordings, his labelmate Juelz Santana used the social network to do the very same thing. The guys are apparently experiencing the same issues, with the label seemingly not giving them any support on albums, forcing them to continue to put out mixtapes in the interim. A fan mentioned to Juelz that their labelmate Fabolous didn’t seem to have a problem, to which the Dip Set rapper noted that he too was putting out a mixtape first, and then shared that his next album with Def Jam will likely be his last. Inside info leaked? Hmm! The biggest bombshell in the rant came in the form of another big record exec looking to court Juelz, similar to L.A. Reid during Jeezy’s rant. This exec makes TONS of sense for Juelz, as he’s collaborated with his artists countless times in the past…and Meek Mill chimed in to say he thinks that’s a good idea as well. Find out who in the gallery and share your thoughts in the comments!


(Photos) Uh-Oh…Jeezy’s Not Too Happy With Def Jam! And It Looks Like Another Big Exec Wants To Scoop Him!

Apparently Atlanta rappers are just angry tonight! All I want to do is sleep, but people keep going on rants, and I have to keep reporting them! While Trinidad James was having a mini-meltdown on stage in NYC, Jeezy was venting on Twitter, going in on his label, Def Jam Records, and seemingly being courted by a top exec at another major label. Def Jam has yet to address his concerns, but that’s not going to keep Tha Snowman from speaking on what’s on his mind. Who knows what exactly is going on behind the scenes, but hopefully whatever it is gets fixed so that the fans can get a new album. Check out what Jizzle had to say in the gallery.
