Def Jam CEO Denies 50 Cent's "Def Jam Is Broke" Rumor

Earlier this month, 50 Cent threw Def Jam under the bus when he joked the label was "80 million in the hole" and unable to sign G-Unit artist Lloyd Banks to a deal.

Barry Weiss, the Chairman/CEO of Island Def Jam and Universal Motown Republic, spoke with Global Grind to put an end to rumors that Def Jam is operating in the red.

"I don't know what the f*ck they're talking about," Weiss said to Global Grind.

"Def Jam is not broke, it's on fire!!

"We just did a deal with Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music and Big Sean's album is a great success and will continue to garner a lot of attention.

"Kanye and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne has the whole world buzzing.

"Jeezy got an album coming out and his show last night in NYC has the whole industry excited.

"Rihanna just ended her amazing tour of her amazing album. Frank Ocean is on the verge of super stardom.

"Rick Ross and so many other great artists are part of our incredible roster.

"Of course we are looking to maximize our potential and are in search of additional African-American leadership to take us to the next level.

"But, let me be clear, Def Jam is on fire."

Weiss didn't mention Justin Bieber, but he's on Island Def Jam, and he's having a pretty good year too, right?

Judging by Weiss' statement, things seem to be just fine at Island Def Jam.

On the other hand, reports this week stating that 50 Cent cancelled the release of his next album, show that things over at 50's own label home, Interscope, might not be all together.

New Orleans based rapper Tim Smooth passed away Tuesday, July 26 after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 39 years old.

Smooth, whose real name is Timothy Smoot, first established himself as a teen MC in Louisiana's burgeoning '90s hip-hop scene.

The MC was a member of Rap-A-Lot Records early on in his career, putting forth his Too Cool-assisted 'Straight Up Drivin' Em' album.

He released his first single, 'I Gotsta Have It,' in 1991, and went on to craft four albums and collaborated with various artists and labels including Big Boy Records.

It was at Big Boy Records where he met and cemented a lifelong bond with fellow New Orleans rapper Mystikal, a friendship that lasted until the end of his life.

"Had I never met Tim, I would be a totally different artist," Michael "Mystikal" Tyler told the Times-Picayune. "He even co-wrote the title cut with me [in] 'Mind of Mystikal,'" he added. "Thanks for the memories."

Known as the 'the Knight from Kennedy Heights,' Smooth established himself an early pioneer of New Orleans hip-hop.

BET Cancels The Mo'Nique Show?

Rumors that BET is ending The Mo'Nique Show have been surfacing recently but BlackmediaScoop confirmed that the show is still on.

But don't get too excited yet, BET insiders are giving the word that the show is on "production hiatus."

Rodney Perry, Mo'Nique's sidekick on the show talked with Mo'Nique's husband earlier today who told him this…“I was told indefinite hiatus.”

With no new season on the books, the word "cancelled" might be premature but appropriate.

Perry hasn't spoken to the host of the show yet but he suspects the financial responsibility of the program may have been too much of a burden on the network.

“We did 300 shows over two seasons. That's a huge investment.”
