YK Osiris and Def Jam are no longer doing business together, as TMZ Hip Hop has learned. The label dropped the “Worth It” singer from his contract back in December.
Sources with direct knowledge say that there is no bad blood between the parties involved. Both teams acknowledged that the relationship had run its course. Importantly, Osiris’ recent controversy with Sukihana played no role in the decision, as it was made well before.
Osiris signed to Def Jam in April 2018 and released his first album the following year. The album, titled “The Golden Child,” achieved gold-selling status and produced the 3x platinum single “Worth It.”
The whirlwind success perhaps hindered his career growth, as Osiris openly admitted to squandering the millions he earned at Def Jam.
YK Osiris made his debut as an indie artist with the release of the emotional track titled “Dear Fans.”
Def Jam has also expanded its portfolio by adding Issa Rae’s Raedio label to its roster.
Sometimes, growing apart leads to significant personal growth. 🙏🏽🤷🏽♂️
