Super-producer, Jermaine Dupri, who's recent departure from Island Def Jam has raised some eyebrows, sat down and spoke to Essence Magazine to give his side of the falling out. JD said, "Island [Def Jam Records] is going to say what makes them look good. They are not going to tell the truth and say, "He just stopped dealing with us on a daily basis."

Dupri goes on to speak about LA Reid, who is the chairman of Island Def Jam, and if there is any chance of reconciliation with him, saying, "I haven't spoken to L.A. [Reid] in three months. I don't know if it's amicable [considering] that they claim they put me out. I feel like it's not amicable. Don't lie, be real about the situation. It goes back to their having the attitude of let's try and do something that's going to hurt this person, because if it hurts us we have nowhere to go after this, but he does and has at least another 20 more years in this business. Again, if L.A. [Reid] gets fired, there will be at least another ten people who will also get fired and we'll never see them again. Def Jam is like one big clique......I saw a side of him that I had never seen before and that to me was a jealous side. I don't know if I should be around people who are jealous of me. Mariah Carey sold more records in that entire Def Jam building and all of that was through my singles; so I'm looking like the golden boy.

With so much speculation on his relationship with megastar Jane Jackson having to do with some of the turmoil, JD said, "She's Janet Jackson without Jermaine Dupri and vice versa. That's how we met doing our own thing. I talk to her about some things but it is what it is. I have to stay in my own lane—that's where Bobby Brown messed up."
