Jermaine is foul for this. His behavior is not indicitive of a high level industry professional. Does he expect to be hired somewhere else after trashing his former employer in the media. He’s acting like a spoiled artist, not an executive. I’m disappointed.

when will these 40 plus men start acting like business men..and stop going to the clubs

LA Reid need the money to keep his over weight son on Sweet 16. JD did right leave he doesn’t need DEF jam to make it. It is LA Reid that ball head need to grow up.

Well, its good to know that even the people sitting on their high horse can get knocked in the head with a humble stick. I dont wish any ill will on him, but I for sure dont feel sorry for him.

Shit happens.

Move on….and pick yourself up by the bootstraps. Well, in his case he wouldnt have to pick himself up very far seeing as his is only 4’11″. lol

And why is he wearing that awful garment? Does he already have a job???? An extra in House?

THAT COAT AND HIS HEIGHT GOT ME SPEECHLESS,

Wow y do these cats bring up age, if u make music then do that, shit if u 20 n can’t make a song or 30 n can’t make a song does it matter? he’s sayin he does thing’s so y not just put out a record that’s good? Janet’s album sucked n i never heard it, but because the previous album sucked n i copped it i was like she not diffrent, it’s there state of mind thats killin em, who thought janet would sound diffrent? she can’t she gots no soul, no funk no swagger if u will to make a hot record, i think black folks need to stop with the age sh*t, even though there is no black artist over say 45 that has had a hit in yrs, but white folks, mannnnn there like dead zombies n have hitz, black folks need to stop with the age knockin, i know it’s hard cause u not use to seeing older blacks still doin, it’s sad!

In that coat I want to say he looks like a Scientist…but then I think he looks like the rat that the Scientist is working on…is he a Rascientist???

LA Reid needs to step down because hes done nothing but screw things up this past year. Janet and Mariah’s albums her perfect examples.

Age has nothing to do with your music JD, it’s how you handle your biz. JD seems like the kind that if he doesn’t get his way, he get’s slack. I noticed that with Bow wow and Janet. He needs to stop acting like a whiner and step up and handle his business. Take notes from Quincy or Jay Z cry baby.

@Pride, you ain’t never lie. I saw that thing and it made me throw up in my mouth. Well, he can always go back to the grass and live with the rest of the ugly knomes. He is one of the ugliest little’ wee men I’ve ever seen. Yuck! His teeth alone are enough to make cringe.

I soooooooooo sick of this midget, troll, leprechaun, pint size little chicken nugget.. I caught myself, those terms are offensive. Let me be politically correct” little person”

correction * I’m *

THIS IS THE PROBLEM….RECORD COMPANY’S AND TOP EXECUTIVES ARE ARGUING ABOUT PUTTING OUT MUSIC AND TRUTH BE TOLD IT IS ALL GARBAGE!!!! RECORD COMPANY’S, RADIO STATIONS, ARTIST, ETC. NEED TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING, US THE AUDIENCE, WITH QUALITY R&B MUSIC. IM SICK OF ALL THE CRAP OUT THERE AND THE TRULY GOOD MUSIC NEVER GETS PLAYED.

JD is right… LA Reid is out of touch… and a dude like JD is a threat. I’ll take bets… LA Reid leaves Def Jam before the end of the year.

JD’s year started bad – first his woman is gone, now his job. I hope he pulls it all together soon and get’s back to making good music. Hopefully were not going to have to watch him slowly destroy himself to the pleasure of the press.

Your dragging JD. Pick ya hem up and move on.

mariah shit with la reid was so weak..

JD bought mariah back to her resepctable status… no one is gonne be able to Janet lets face it.. No one listen to whispers anymore. This is the Age of the bold and determined woman and JAnet is too weak for that!!!!

When will artist and record company execs realize that everyone is given a bit of talent, once you write your songs that GOD gave you, he’s finished with you, so now your writing songs invented by you and not GOD given. Andy Warhol knew what he was talking about when he said everyone gets 15 minutes of fame. JD your time is up. L A Reid your time is up. Babyface your time is up. Earth Wind and Fire your time is up. Get my point?

J.D. will be aiight he do make hot music and cant nobody take that from him…give him a min you’ll see when you hot you hot and who cares how he look..janet like it!

This nigga look like he stole Janet silk house robe.

What a SNITCH!

JD is a hitmaker, not one of those corporate fools. Remember, Jay Z was running this shit before and everyone gave him shit. Look what Shakir did.

Island/Defjam has some major issues- it’s not a good place for young black men.
