The NY Daily News reports that, according to industry sources, Jay-Z could leave Def Jam and head to Columbia Records.
The arrival of Jermaine Dupri as president of the Island Urban music division in February could be the reason.
"There isn't room for two kings at one label," says a source. "Why would Island bring in another power-hitter urban guy?," the source said.
Janet Jackson followed Dupri to Def Jam while Columbia is the home of Beyonce, plus Columbia's co-chair is Rick Rubin who's worked in the past with Jay-Z.
