While the rest of the world is scrambling to find a full time job, super producer Jermaine Dupri reportedly just stopped showing up to work to the Universal Music building recently. What happens when you stop showing up to work? You get the boot. Dupri is reportedly no longer the President of Island Records as of Wednesday. A source tells Page Six, “After [his girlfriend] Janet Jackson’s album and tour bombed, he basically didn’t come back to work. He still collected a paycheck, but didn’t bother to do anything that he was supposed to do, like find artists, release records or actually show up. Executives tried to talk to him, but he just lost heart.”
Dupri was widely blamed for Jackson’s album flop because he insisted on giving her complete creative control over her album ‘Discipline,’ which backfired big time.
