I can't tell y'all what's going on over here these days. I was sent over a statement from Laura Swanson of Def Jam denying the Jermaine Dupri termination rumor. Check out her statement below.   

There is absolutely no truth to the rumors regarding Jermaine Dupri. They are completely untrue. And you can quote me if you need to...

Best-

Laura Swanson

SVP Media & Artist Relations

Island Def Jam

I already went out of my way to stress how I was hoping it was just a rumor and held no validity, but it obviously wasn't enough.

Talk to y'all lata,

Sohh...you guys need to sit down, take a second to get your site up and running, then get the rest of your shit together.
And I wish Jermaine the best. It always feels good to see a 'brotha' doing his thing, as long as it doesn't affect other people negatively (subjective...I know.).
(Its funny how young white boys aren't praying for Tommy Matolla's downfall, or Jimmy Iovine's downfall, but on all the 'hip hop' blogs they curse successful black entrepreneurs [SOULJA BOY!!!!!!!] lol)
