Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri have a history of hits together, and
now the dynamic duo is taking their business relationship to the next
level. The So So Def mogul has signed on to become Mariah’s manager.
In a press release, Mariah’s reps described the relationship as a
“merger.” JD will act as the pop diva’s manager, according to a congratulatory note on JD’s DJ management site SKAM Artist.
“A multi-talented artist of Mariah’s caliber should be doing
everything imaginable. I’m sure others have said this but not the way I
intend to do it. For me, it’s about the execution,” said JD, who
produced hits including “We Belong Together” and “Always Be My Baby.”
Mariah added, “We have a bond that surpasses music. I am super
excited about our merger because we have so many innovative ideas that I
know will come to fruition.”
JD received congratulatory messages from his friends including Da
Brat and Bow Wow. “Congrats to my pops @jermainedupri on taking on that
big step w/ managing the legendary @MariahCarey,” tweeted Bow.
Mariah was previously managed by Jennifer Lopez’s current manager Benny Medina as well as “American Idol’s” Randy Jackson.
The iconic singer has been working on a new album, which has already
spawned the Miguel-assisted hit “#Beautiful.” Mariah’s publicist, Cindi
Berger, teased an upcoming announcement.
“I’ve never seen Mariah so passionate about what she will be revealing to her fans very, very soon,” said Berger.
