Jeremih Confirms P Diddy As His Manager

 

Def Jam Records’ Jeremih says that Diddy and James Cruz have been managing him since Spring.

Throughout the last 20 years, Sean “Diddy” Combs has managed several acts not signed to his Bad Boy Worldwide imprint (f/k/a Bad Boy Records). Mary J. Blige, who Diddy worked with at Uptown Records, took the Harlem, New York native on during the mid-1990s, while more recently, Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross both announced the executive/producer and rapper’s involvement in their respective management teams.

Jerehim, who is signed to Def Jam Records, is the latest artist to bring Diddy on as manager. The 25-year-old Chicago, Illinois native has released two albums, 2009’s self-titled LP and All About You a year later. The onetime Top 10 debuting singer is at work on Thumpy Johnson, his third effort, while he announced Diddy taking over his manager duties.

“As of two months ago, P. Diddy and James Cruz actually took over my management,” Jeremih told Rap-Up.com. He continued, “It means a lot to me as an artist, as a writer. For Puff to acknowledge my talent and my gift, it’s a good thing.”

James Cruz, a onetime executive with Chris Lighty and Violator Management and a partner at Steve Rifkind’s SRC Records, has managed the likes of 50 Cent, as well as Diddy.

Def Jam Hunting Down Kanye West “Yeezus” Album Leaker

Yesterday the internet went crazy as Kanye West‘s long awaited album, Yeezus leaked but it looks like the culprit behind the album’s online spilling has some folks looking for them.

While TMZ claims, Yeezy is unphased by fans getting his music before the official release date, June 18th, they also say Def Jam is on serious damage control and have a special leaks division which is on the job to track down who done it!

The site reports:

According to sources, the leaks division employs various methods to track down the source of a leak … as well as to put a stop to any further illicit file sharing. We’re told the record company already has a lead on who’s behind the leak and plans to take swift punitive action.

But it seems to be no sweat of ‘Ye’s back. Apparently he expected this would happen as so many people worked on the album.

Welp! Good luck with the hunt Def Jam, but with the leak and all, we’re sure Mr.West is still gunna do numbers!
