OpenEntrance - What’s Really Going OnWhat’s Really Going On

Word is that Jay-Z is leaving Island Def Jam and heading over to Columbia Records. The Jigga Man would take with him ownership of his own master recordings which has to make him an attractive hire to Columbia co-chair Rick Rubin, who produced Jigga’s hit ‘99 Problems.’ Oh yeah, and if you didn’t already know, Columbia is the home of Beyonce also.

So why is Jay-Z leaving? Sandrarose.com reports that L.A. Reid has grown wary of HOV’s hands-off leadership approach, but some sources say it has to do with Jermaine Dupri’s arrival as president of the Island Urban music division in February.

If this all plays out as expected, you’ll have Jay-Z and Bey on Columbia and JD and Janet on Def Jam. Who do you think is the winner?
