Earlier this week, The New York Daily News reported that Jermaine Dupri
threatened to quit due to lackluster sales on Janet Jackson‘s
20 Y.O. album. Now, sources are saying the Atlanta mogul left the label.
Though the album debuted in the Top 5 three weeks ago, sales of 20 Y.O. have
fallen short in comparison to previous Jackson albums. The album has sold 416,
353 units to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
In addition to his Virgin duties, JD’s So So Def imprint is distributed by
the company. His roster includes Da Brat, Dem Franchize Boyz and Daz
Dillinger, among others. Daz recently dropped his So So Gangsta album,
only selling 51, 308 copies since its release on September 23rd.
