It took a while for Def Jam to drop Jeremih’s album after the release of the project’s its first two singles.
Now, after its drop, Jeremih himself blasted the legendary label and said they don’t deserve his talents.
“Y’all don’t even deserve my voice,” he tweeted of Def Jam, and then later pointed out how the high price doesn’t even matter if his album isn’t in stores. “There’s actually no CDs in the stores to even buy that’s my main point,” he continued after learning each Best Buy store only received less than 10 copies of the album.
Jeremih’s Late Nights album was his first solo LP release in five years. It seemed to never see its release but then, out of what seemed like nowhere, did get dropped by the label.
50 Cent recently voiced his own displeasure with how his friend’s album was rolled out. He too believed the LP’s price point was too high and says five years was far too long in-between album releases.

thats why most artists are staying independent..let the fan growth be organic and not shoved out to the masses..take a look at Tech N9ne and Strange Music..shit is an empire.
That’s fucked up, it’s a dope album, hands down one of the best r&b albums to drop this year. What is it with def jam fuckn artist. Once upon a time that label was the pinnacle of labels, now everyone wants off, Ross dropped his final album, close the doors, they’re done.
def jam treats artists like crap..just sign an indie deal like 50 did..
Def Jam sold out Hip Hop long time ago, and they sold out their black people long time ago. No Wonder Nas had problems with him
Quit bitching you signed the contract.
um learn to sing you no talent bastard..
Dr Dre wants to sign him…..mark my words bitches.
